Why women Hate Hillary

[AGirl]

If you're a professional woman, it doesn't matter how smart you are, how much money you make, how many men you turned into sawdust to get to the top, Hillary is smarter, earned more, and mashed more men than you have. Professional women have started to hate Hillary because their roar of accomplishment sounds like a pathetic "tweet, tweet" when compared to the First Lady.

Of course, these are the same women who were supposed to be Hillary's natural constituency. But Hillary blew it: she turned out to be much too competent, too attractive, too savvy. I mean, how can a woman feel proud that she's the first female CEO of a Fortune 500 company when Hillary's out there managing 14% of the Gross National Product and being compared not to Eleanor, but to Franklin Roosevelt?

How can Hillary win them back? It's easy. She needs to make a mistake, a big one, preferably on national television. If she can look temporarily flustered or at a loss for words, all the better. She needs to stop appearing so damned competent and in control all the time. Bill Clinton can then schedule a prime-time news conference to say Hillary's still got his trust and confidence, despite her "errors of judgment." America will love Hillary again. Professional women will welcome her back as one of their own.

Why feminists hate Hillary.

I'm not talking about part-time suburban feminists -- you know, the kind that wear flannel shirts on weekends and pick up their groceries in four-wheel drive Broncos. I'm talking about women who know how to spell misogyny and have Anita Hill posters in their bedrooms. For them, Hillary is living proof that the only way for women to succeed in this country is to subrogate yourself to the white male power structure. They hate Hillary precisely because -- like most men -- she is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, whether it means changing her name, her hair, her clothes, her values, or her disdain for certain members of the Republican party.

Why poor women hate Hillary.

Hillary who?

Why black women hate Hillary.

Does anyone remember Lani Guinier? She was the "radical" black woman that the media said wanted to relocate parts of the Bronx to South Carolina so there'd be more minority congresspersons. Lani Guinier, given her activist agenda and legal background, is really a black Hillary Rodham Clinton -- Hillary without the conservatism of Park Ridge, without the compromise of whiteness. She was also the black woman that Bill Clinton forgot to fight for. So while Lani got the rope, Hillary got the pedestal. Don't expect black women to sing Hillary's praises in the foreseeable future.

Why country-club Republican women hate Hillary.

These are the women with expensive degrees from Smith, Vassar, Mount Holyoke, and Wellesley who for years coasted along, living off their inheritances or their husbands, who joined a few community groups, dabbled in the arts, and thought they were making the most of their talent and education. Thanks most recently to Barbara Bush, it was fashionable to be a highly-educated female under-achiever.

Hillary's changed all that, and these women are pissed. A large number of them are doctors' wives, which explains the venomous hissing whenever Hillary's name is mentioned.

So who really likes Hillary?

The people who were supposed to hate her the most, as it turns out, have become her greatest fans. Of course, we're talking about white, middle-aged, middle class men.

It took a few months, but Hillary's proven herself and they like what they see. Cooped up all day in corporate offices, surrounded by incompetent young MBAs (male and female), these men love the ever-competent Hillary. She's the woman they thought they were marrying twenty years ago. As the joke goes, if they had married her, they would be President. And she's far less threatening than their wives, who not only insist that they help out in the kitchen, but are statistically likely to take off with their children, their homes, their bank accounts.

There's a bonus, too: Hillary is sexually appealing. Decency precludes too much detail about this. Let's just say that for these men, Hillary is a combination of Sharon Stone and Rebecca DeMornay, with brains.
