These kinds of posts do nothing but play into the stereotype of brittle feminists looking for sexism in every word or gesture.

Hillary is NOT a confident candidate. She does not come across as comfortable in her own skin. So yeah, she seems uptight at times, she laughs too loudly, she acts too reserved and she seems fake.

Many of these charges were leveled at Kerry in 2004 (another politician who lacked the confidence to be himself). His mannerisms were different, so the specific adjectives were different, but it amounted to the same thing: the guy couldn't catch a break.

As long as a politician appears programmed as opposed to genuine, they are open to these sorts of attacks.


And while we're on the subject, why aren't you screaming at HILLARY, with her insinuations that a woman would somehow bring a "different perspective" to the presidency? Why is that not just as sexist as anything posted on DU? Or is it OK to play the gender card when it reflects favorably on your chosen candidate?
