Clinton: There's a 'game that’s being played to keep women in their place'
2017-09-17
[MSN] While promoting her newly released memoir, Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
 has placed blame on several factors for her loss to Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 last November ‐ from her own mistakes, to Russian interference in the U.S. election, and the late intervention by then-FBI director James Comey.

But Clinton has also spoken candidly about how deep-rooted sexism played a hand in her defeat, and about the double standards she faced as the first woman nominated by a major party for president in America’s 240-year history.

In an interview with the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 published Saturday, Clinton spoke further about how misogyny is used as a tool to hold women back.

"This has to be called out for what it is: a cultural, political, economic game that’s being played to keep women in their place," Clinton said.

"The idea that women have to fit certain stereotypes; that’s a weight around the ankle of every ambitious woman I’ve ever met," she added. "We get constant messaging our whole lives: You’re not thin enough, talented enough, smart enough. Your voice isn’t what we want to hear."

#26  Just when I begin to think this woman has limits to her hubris and chutzpah, she goes over the top once again and exceeds herself.

I'd love to see that guy with the hook from the Gong Show pull her off the public stage. Are none of the investigations into her nasty, foul, disgusting, filthy, vile corruption ever going to bear fruit?

Yes Hillary and it's called Islam. The Dhimmicrats favorite protected Christiphobic death cult.

#21  Being an (alleged) woman is the least of Hillary's problems as a candidate.

#20  She was obnoxious in 1993 -- the plastic smile, cold eyes and arrogant manner. Age hasn't mellowed or improved her character.

Yes and BTW thank you God for keeping this schrew (a small mouselike insectivorous mammal with a long pointed snout and tiny eyes. ) out of the WH.

"But Clinton has also spoken candidly about how deep-rooted sexism played a hand in her defeat, and about the double standards she faced as the first woman nominated by a major party for president in America’s 240-year history."

Oh, bullshit. For every male chauvinist who voted against her specifically because she's a woman, there are a hundred dim-witted bubbleheads who voted FOR her specifically because she's a woman.

Hillary lost because a sufficient number of Americans-- just barely sufficient-- woke up to the fact that she's a corrupt, lying phony who's about as genuine as a $3 bill.

#14  Wonder what she'll have to say when Nikki Haley gets elected. Somehow I doubt it will be, "Congratulations, sister."

#13  No... but there is a game that's being played to keep thieves, crooks, murderers, liars, and traitors in their place!

She got that one right. This broad lectures and screeches like no one else. That said, please run again in 2020!

#8  Yes, and Shrillary's place isn't the White House.
(Got up this morning and she still wasn't the President. Good day.)

#7  @#3 she is such a mess I am not sure if you are referring to cankles (her) or concrete boots (people who cross her).

#6  Only if you consider illustration of the Dunning–Kruger effect to be a proper place of a woman, First Lady (and you'll never be Ms. President).

#5  Clinton: There's a 'game that’s being played to keep women in their place'

You mean the one which you demand equality but are exempted from registering for selective service? I believe its called privilege.

#4  Yes, it's all a game. Only wymyn, after all...

#3  Uhhh.. Hill ...politely suggest you avoid using the words "weight" and "ankles" in the same sentence. Same with "Clinton" and "cigar".
Posted by: Bangkok Billy   2017-09-17 02:37  

#2  She speaks from experience of reviling women who wouldn't stay in their place.
