Women and when Hillary schooled Putin

Here's the story:

Clinton first raised the similarities between Hitler's actions in the 1930s and Putin's occupation of Crimea at a fundraiser in California early this year.

"Now if this sounds familiar, it's what Hitler did back in the '30s," she said, according to a report in the Long Beach Press Telegram. "All the Germans that were … the ethnic Germans, the Germans by ancestry who were in places like Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places, Hitler kept saying, 'They're not being treated right. I must go and protect my people,' and that's what's gotten everybody so nervous."

Putin's reply
"It's better not to argue with women. But Ms. Clinton has never been too graceful in her statements. Still, we always met afterwards and had cordial conversations at various international events. I think even in this case we could reach an agreement. When people push boundaries too far, it's not because they are strong but because they are weak. But maybe weakness is not the worst quality for a woman."

Hillary: "I have a lot of experience with people acting like that," she quipped. "Go back to elementary school. I've seen all of that, so I'm not impressed by it."
(Schooled).

Interesting how Putin doesn't address the issue of his occupation of Crimea but instead attacks her as a woman. As Americans we understand that meaningful conversations should never include attacks on a person's gender, race or ethnicity. Too bad Trump doesn't understand this basic American ideal either. These men don't respect women and they deserve no respect from men or women!
