People like Hillary Clinton aren't victims, Marc. They're aggressive attack dogs who will anything to get on top. Also, I thought feminists were about empowering women. By implying that Hillary is weak and helpless, you are contributing to the same stereotypes which you claim that you so utterly despise.

Oh that's right, there isn't any. You have become a characture of the reactionary left. I bet you bought into the vast right wing conspiracy as well. Marc, put up some proof.

All of these are very relevant when she (or anyone else) seeks the most powerful (and dangerous) office on the planet. You really do need to move beyond these shopworn memes about misogyny and witch hunts. They're not convincing and they don't address the actual points I make in the actual posts.

Stick to the issues.

I've also used similar adjectives to describe Michael Moore and John Edwards. Unless they have had operations recently, they are male. You’re getting into tinfoil hat territory, Marc.

Don't be ridiculous - surely you must realise the invective (corrupt, mad etc) is precisely because of her gender. Does the name Salem mean anything to you? ‘There was not a single comment having to do with her gender so get over yourself.’

Substitute 'black' or 'Jew' in the smears and you get the idea. Actually, I don’t find it funny - it’s misogynistic smearing based on hatred of the idea that a woman could be so powerful.

Truly, I cant imagine, and on top of all that you mention, the stress (assuming you care at all) of being held responsible for every problem of the whole country and many problems around the world. No thanks, I'll continue to be a nameless complainer and criticizer. and the pay sucks!!!!

Can you imagine putting up with all the prying and stupid questions? Then, if you win, you get verbally abused by all and sundry for your whole term. You’ve got a point, drmatt.
