Hillary needs to stop acting tough

[galaxy21]

I'm convinced the only reason she said yes on Iraq was basically she knew as a woman she would have to look tough, if she was going to run for president. You know to avoid the 'oh, she's a woman, she's too weak to attack' arguement from the men.

Of course, we now know the Iraq vote was, arguably, the biggest mistake of her political career.


And now she's threatening to nuke entire countries.

Newsflash, Hillary: People are tired of tough guy posers. Margaret Thatcher didn't have to resort to this, and she did fine.

2. GRRL POWAH!!!

It's all part of a misguided 90's sort of identity politicization wherein women are expected to prove themselves just as 'ballsy' as men.

5. I think it's because she means it, not so much of an act.

Act or not, it sucks.

Besides, people can tell when a person, male or female, is truly as tough person. Those who have to act it, a la Bush, usually aren't.

14. The Iraq war made the American military look like a paper tiger

Best army in the world....and the US couldn't even handle under funded insurgents with petrol bombs and kives?

15. "Margaret Thatcher didn't have to resort to this, and she did fine. "

Are you familiar with the Falklands war?

[galaxy21]

17. Yes, but prior to that, she wasn't overtly tough

But when the time came, she showed she had balls.

18. It is hard to take these women who like to act like bad acting men

They never do carry it off well.
