Why Has Everyone Ignored Bernie Calling Out Sexism Against Hillary?

The confusion about sexism and misogyny in 2016 is not surprising. These ugly impulses don’t always manifest themselves in the most obvious ways. It’s not always a comment about a woman’s body parts, though there have been plenty of those in reference to Hillary.

Sometimes gender bias is an online mob screaming “liar” with terrifying fury.

Sometimes it’s accusing Hillary of being corrupt without an iota of evidence.

Sometimes it’s asking her to meet standards no male candidate is asked to meet.

Sometimes it’s a hashtag like #whichhillary hijacked by her haters to imply the other spelling of the first word.

Sometimes it’s media outlets using the most unflattering photos of Hillary imaginable.

Sometimes it’s male pundits condescendingly advising her to lower her voice.

And sometimes it’s just pure venom spewed at Hillary that comes from a deep well of hate that is entirely disconnected from anything she’s done in her life, the kind of rage you’d feel about a serial killer, not a highly accomplished and globally admired leader.

2. A lot of Bernie voters don't want to see a woman as President

That's what they have in common with Trump voters.

Bernie supporters!

"Yes, we do agree on a number of issues, and by the way, on her worst day, Hillary Clinton will be an infinitely better candidate and President than the Republican candidate on his best day."

There is a OP on GD-P that insists that Hillary has betrayed women and it's being rec'd because an older woman (63) gets pissed off and enraged about Hillary, blaming every bad thing that has ever happened in the country for the last 30 years on Hillary. They have actually convinced themselves of this nonsense. Reminds me so much of the Republicans who declare that the Democrats are the real racists. So much sexism, even among women.

15. You mean the kind of sexism that has spawned the label "Hillhags" right here on DU,

or the kind that allows it to survive an alert?

16. This meets their "community standards."

The hypocrisy and double standard is the outrage exhibited if we were to do the same thing!
