15. hillary IS a stereotype
Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 06:05 AM by ima_sinnic
she has come to embody all those things we are not supposed to say about women if we want to appear "PC" (a favorite right-wing catch-all phrase). as far as I'm concerned, she is not advancing the cause of women, she is setting it back. what's with the rambo/john wayne/rocky bullshit? what's with the pantsuits? SHE's the one who appears to believe that femininity is something to be shunned and ashamed of (I hate pantsuits and wouldn't be caught dead in one. They are SOOO 1980s and SOOO rejecting, not of society's standard of womanhood, but of one's own concept of femininity. Skirts are 10 times more comfortable and look 100 times better and more confident of one's self)--she thinks that the prop of pantsuits somehow makes her look "tough" and "businesslike" because she doesn't have those qualities inwardly -- is she of the opinion that women are "weak"?

what's with the warmongering bloodthirst, signing off on any and all of GWB's mass murdering oil-grabbing schemes? what's with the scheming, calculated Karl Rove double-speak, smears and general destruction of a person who is supposed to be, not her enemy per se, but simply her rival in the same party? where's her party loyalty, for that matter? she is coming across as sneaky, bitchy, wily, conniving, untrustworthy, unimaginative, a wannabe man.

so sue me already--*gasp*--I played your stupid gender card back at you. I'd say the same about, say Karl Rove, GWB, and any phony empty-suit republican--they are all liars, schemers, and puffing themselves up with phony props like cowboy suits and military uniforms. As a woman, I'd much more identify with her if she were gracious and played fair. If she doesn't want to be stereotyped, she should stop acting in stereotypical ways that are a disgrace, not only to women, but to Democrats and to the entire human race.
