In reply to the discussion: Clinton: 'I certainly didn't' know about Weinstein's alleged assaults [View all]JHan
(10,173 posts)You are still doing it by not even taking her at her word. There is nothing she could have said that would have satisfied you because you see her first and foremost as a liar and dishonest and it's why you would happily drag her.
Who is a Saint and who is not a Saint is not the debate here, that is silliness and again an avenue for you to make your insinuations because you are invested in painting her in a particular way. And if she did not know it doesn't mean she is not intelligent either or naive.
If a powerful man donated to my campaign, you bet I will assume that the field and industry he represents has issues with sexism. ALL WOMEN KNOW THIS.
The point I am making, which you ignore because it's all about Hillary for you, is that misogyny and sexism is soaked in our culture, it permeates everything. Did Hillary know sexism existed in Hollywood? Of course, she did. Would she have known of every detail of Weinstein's disgusting behavior, she says she did not. I didn't know those details.
Those who did know - industry insiders who were overwhelming male - should be the ones plastered all over the front pages along with Weinstein but no... we get the deconstruction of Hillary and pondering intent behind her statements.
I repeat: This is meta-sexism, and it is part of the fucking problem.
