(12,448 posts)Truth, there. Another truth: She is a policy wonk. And another: It's possible to be a policy wonk AND be "likable." People who have known Hillary Clinton personally have commented on how warm she is, how she worries about staff members' health, how friendly she is to people she meets on the campaign trail.
Yes, the misogyny raged on BOTH sides of the political spectrum throughout the campaign and is still going on today. I remember when Bill was elected and the rampant sexism was aimed at Hillary the second after the election was called. She shouldn't have kept her maiden name, her hair was all wrong, she shouldn't have changed her hair, her clothes, the fact that she was (gasp!) a lawyer just as if she was a man, etc. etc. We think we as a country have gotten past that; sadly, we're finding that we haven't.
I'm still with her.
