A sense that Hillary is cut from the same cloth as Trump.
Oh, please. About the only thing they share in common is ambition. But then again, virtually every elected person in DC has a ton of ambition. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be there.
Remember when she was saying it was time for a female POTUS, as if she was entitled due to her gender?
I remember her saying that. But female candidates for President have been saying that since the first woman entered a race. Not because they felt entitled, but because it’s true. That’s closet misogyny if you’re reading entitlement into that.
Remember her pantheon of victimhood? the vast right wing conspiracy against her, the left whing conspiracy, the male candidate conspiracy, the male controlled media conspiracy.
It’s not a conspiracy if it’s true. And those accusations are largely true. Women are largely dismissed as candidates for the most powerful positions in business and government. Why? Misogyny. Women “aren’t qualified” simply because they are women. And that’s misogyny.
Just look at the numbers:
• Democratic Party: Women make up 42% of congressional Democrats (110 women: 94 in the House, 16 in the Senate).
• Republican Party: Women make up 15% of congressional Republicans (40 women: 31 in the House, 9 in the Senate).
Republicans are way behind democrats in acknowledging the role of women in government.
You really do show signs of a closeted misogyny.
