In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton's Future Plans: "I would like to see whether I can get untired." [View all]Whisp
(24,096 posts)This particular one is from a quote from her herself, I think it's the first time I heard it directly from her and taking it on it's own, sure, I can understand tired. What working busy person can't.
Her tired isn't so special, tho, really. It's probably the best conditions to be tired in, when you are famous and rich and have many people to help you. Real tired is when you are sick and can't miss work, or when you have to stay up with a sick child because there is no one else, and you still have to go to work in the morning. that is real tired to me.
There have been 'Hillary must be so tired' threads and posts here on DU for years.
I just don't think it is a good thing to call a woman tired all the time. Oh, the poor thing is so tired (inflection is so tired, so weak, frail, all of that, and that is harmful if you ask me)
I can't recall that being said so often about a male politician.
