29. Yeah, I did.
And I understand that you were using "excitable women" in an ironic sense. But the post actually reinforced the very attitudes that you were claiming to decry. Because you say that the women of NH voted for Clinton solely based on her 30-second display of "emotion" at a NH coffee shop. Overcome with emotion & empathy for her, women flocked out in a fit of excitable emotion. This thesis is flawed, because it ignores the fact that Clinton had massive support in NH throughout this election, which only narrowed after Obama's Iowa win. And she always had more support among NH women - even when she was "cold" and "unemotional". Women do care about issues & policies, like you said. And that's why they supported Hillary. To make this all about how women were overcome w/an emotional fit does female voters a disservice.
