Frustrated female senators say Clinton is victim of sexism
http://thehill.com/news/senate/269341-frustrated-female-senators-say-clinton-is-victim-of-sexism
Here’s my question to the media: Oh, and exactly which FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A. does Hillary Clinton remind you of????

Dana Milbank had a really good piece about the sexist double standard being applied against Hillary. He basically said if Bernie were a woman with that pie-in-the-sky agenda, including his impractical single payer health plan, his campaign would be dead in the water before it started.
This is why he’s toast in the GE. All the stuff the media is ignoring because they’re obsessed with Hillary will be fodder for the GOP.

Alluding to one progressive analyst’s criticism of the Sanders agenda as “puppies and rainbows,” Mr. Goolsbee (Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Economics at The University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business) said that after his and others’ further study, “they’ve evolved into magic flying puppies with winning Lotto tickets tied to their collars.” – NYTimes
Hillary Clinton is a real planner who knows what will work and how to get it done. Sometimes I do believe that she would run into the same kind of opposition if she were a man because she makes all the other contenders look silly and downright dumb. They have no real idea what the job entails and no real idea how to do it well. She’d make them all look just as bad if she were a man. But, thank the good Lord, she’s a woman which gives her that little
extra bit of edge. 😉
I contribute automatically each month through my credit card. It’s not a lot but it’s an amount I can budget each month for the rest of the campaign. I honestly believe she will be one of the best presidents we’ve had in decades.

IMO there is clearly some sexism at work. Bernie can shout all day long and no one criticizes him for it in the media. It’s seen as “curmudgeonly or grandpa-ish.” Hillary goes up 1 decibel (if that) and according to Bob Woodward (!) she’s shouting at people. She wears a jacket more than once–as apparently she did at the past debate- and it’s a shock and ridicule. What candidate on either side is constantly accused of not being “likable?”. People HATE Ted Cruz (srsly, his colleagues and many others really do) and it’s reported, sure, but do we ever see Cruz asked straight up if he’s likable? No. It’s just so unbelievable to me.

Voter internalize sexism as well. During the last Dem debate, I read a comment from someone in a focus group who said Hillary was a brilliant woman but she needed to speak from the heart. What does that even mean? Would a male candidate ever be criticized for that? Of course not.

EXACTLY! What in the world! The internalization is so rampant that I sometimes toss books at the TV monitor. Especially when I feel like the media people are doing it on purpose.
I feel like asking all the media pundits to read “Love Her; Love her Not – The Hillary Paradox” – Joanne Bamberger… It truly sheds light on this topic like never before. It should be required reading for everyone… especially in the media.. and recommended reading for every adult voter.. especially younger folks who have not yet entered the workforce and are quite oblivious to it.
I was once one of those idealists who thought equality had arrived and the playground was already flat. Little did I know that womanhood would cause a completely different yardstick for everything I accomplished. The playground was not level at work, nor home… especially not when I had a job and a child to care for. It took many long years and observing the media thru the 2007-08 campaigns and reflecting on that to realize just how badly the male-dominated world has stacked up against true equality for women.
It is upto us to peel their eyes open and the only way to do that is through challenging questions. When the yardstick is different, use the yardstick used for men and ask the question. Then use the yardstick they used on female right back as a measure on their pick of male. There is really no other way to hold the mirror to them on their double standard.

I wonder why it is that I always know when Hillary is speaking straight from her heart. She becomes very conversational and personal and the words are so touching that she almost brings me to tears. Times like that, I know I could easily turn into a wildcat and tear the throat out of anyone who tries to hurt her. How is it that I know when she is speaking directly from her heart and others don’t? Oh wait. She brings the volume so far down that they don’t even hear her. They only notice her when she occasionally raises the volume. You know – the shouting.

BTW, that comment Bernie strategist Tad Devine made about Hillary being unqualified to appoint SC justices because she’s tainted by special interest money was appalling. These guys basically do whatever they can get away with, which is a lot because the media lets them.

The other day a Sanders’ supporter called me a … let’s see … how to write this and not violate polite converstion … he called me a “Cword”-American. Not a Vagina-American, a Cword-American. I am a 70 year old grandmother and I look like a grandmother. He was a young man in his mind-20’s. I gave him my grandmother/big mama look and said, “WHAT did you say?” He ran away.
Oh yeah, there’s all kind of sexism, realised and unrealised, overt and covert.
