Angry White Women Cry Sexism
ROBERTS: The only group she still really has is white women, and I do think that there’s some possibility that you will see a sort of reaction among white women. I had the opportunity –STEPHY: Like New Hampshire.
ROBERTS: — to interview Billie Jean King this week. And she said, “You know, I feel like everything I’ve worked for all my life is going out the window,” and there is that sense. I mean, here is this woman who worked hard. She’s done it all the way you’re supposed to do it, and then this cute young man comes in and says a bunch of sweet, you know, nothings, and — and pushes you out of the way. And a lot of women are looking at that and saying, “There goes my life.”
ROBERTS: The truth is, is that for a Republican running against him he can put him, you know, just squarely on the left of the Democratic Party. You know, he’s got a very — very much, you know, ADA, Americans for Democratic Action-approved voting record. He, unlike Hillary Clinton, oddly enough, given the rhetoric, has not reached across the aisle and worked with people in the other party to get things done, which she has done.

MYERS: Hillary Clinton’s options are limited in many ways because she’s a woman. It’s difficult for her to get angry; it’s difficult for her to be sarcastic; when she gets tough, she sounds like a scold; and I think we have a different standard for how women, umm, can approach going negative, getting tough, and making their point
than we do for men.
MYERS: The public has different expectations for women, and I think the press has covered her different as a woman. I think one of the things we’ve learned in this campaign is that the playing field still isn’t level. I don’t think you can separate the fact that she’s a woman. I think it’s still easier to be critical of a woman. I think you can say almost anything about a woman, even if it’s based in gender stereotypes without much penalty, and I think we’ve seen that throughout this race.
Oh Boo fucken hoo!
I’ve said this before and will keep saying, I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A WOMAN PRESIDENT, IN FACT I BELIEVE A WOMAN IN MANY WAYS WILL DO A BETTER JOB.
My problem is the same problem millions of Americans have, Dee Dee, Cokie, we HATE Hillary!! She sucks; she is a socialist big gubment nut! The only reason she was a “major” candidate was because her husband was president and he screwed around on her and more than that she believed that she was entitled to the job and America is rejecting her.
I don’t give a fuck what race or gender a candidate is, for me political ideology will always trump a candidate’s race or gender.
If I had my own business, or ran a corporation, anything having to do with employee, departmental, cabinet hiring/selection, all things being equal, nine time out of ten, I’ll select a woman over a man.
Women are more loyal; I would tend to trust women more, and in many cases will work harder.
Message for Hillary; we don’t like you. Deal wit it!

As a white woman, I concur. I would LOVE to vote for a woman president. But the ONLY thing I like about Hillary is that she’s female. That is simply not enough to win my vote. Every other thing about her either angers me or scares me! I do believe that there are plenty of people (male and female) who discount a woman’s ability to run anything (let alone this country). But that’s changing, thank God. Hillary is not being rejected b/c she’s female. She’s being rejected b/c people do not like or trust her as a person. Period!
