Reply #58: Yawn. What is the point of this?

I'm a woman and I'm proud of her. The ones on DU who already hate her are naturally going to flock to this thread to say, "me too! me too!" but you're not changing anyone else's mind.

The sexism against Hillary is real. Why do you think we see posts criticizing her looks? Why do you think the right wing hates her even more than Bill? Why is she called shrill when you never see male politicians called that? You can say people don't hate her because she's a woman, but I frankly don't believe it. There's not a doubt in my mind there'd be much less vitriol against her. People see her as ambitious, which is judged much more harshly in women.

For that matter, what is your statement about the campaign playing "virtually every stereotype about powerful or ambitious women as being either cynical manipulators or incompetants advancing themselves by gaming the system" all about? Am I really expected to believe you're just concerned about Hillary setting back the women's movement. Please.
