As someone who makes his living wading through political bullshit, I harbored suspicions and dislike for Clinton based on rumor, innuendo, and the framing of the conversation. I’m not sure exactly when I realized I got it wrong, but the more research I do into her background and record, the clearer it becomes that sexism clouded my perception.
I evaluated Clinton by standards I did not hold her male colleagues to.
This is an INCREDIBLY thorough and well-sourced chronicle of the sexism Hillary Clinton has faced through her entire public life, with a personal narrative of working to overcome culturally-ingrained sexism I think we can all relate to.
I had a conversation with a 60 year-old guy at a church mixer about this weekend about how he and his husband feel like the Republican Party mistreated and misled them for a very long time, and how they’re gradually realizing that Hillary probably isn’t the pathological liar they’ve thought she was for the last two decades. And WOO MAMA was he mad.
