It seems that Americans have 'always seen ambitious women as unhealthy'
#Election 2016 is just around a month and a half away but some Hillary Clinton supporters are already starting to make excuses for her increasingly likely defeat. Toward that goal, Rebecca Onion wrote a recent piece in Slate entitled “America Has Always Seen Ambitious Women as Unhealthy.” The theory is that Americans are rejecting Clinton because they think her relentless drive for the Oval Office is making her sick. The problem is that the author has had to reach back to the Edwardian age to find examples of ambitious women being demonized as being less than healthy. She offers no explanation as to why very healthy and determined women on the right – Carly Fiorina and Sarah Palin come to mind – were smeared by people on the left....
The article that tries to find a sociological explanation as to why Clinton is unpopular, even among the left, is likely the result of too many women’s studies programs at major universities. The reason she is tanking in the polls is that she is increasingly seen as corrupt, dishonest, and downright evil. Her gender has nothing to do with it, save for irritation at the lame joke she makes about playing the woman card.
One of the problems feminists of a certain sort are having at the prospect of #Hillary Clinton not becoming the first female president is that she may be beaten by a man who encapsulates all of the worst aspects of masculinity, from their point of view. Donald Trump is loud, vulgar, and reeking with machismo. He is not shy of calling women who annoy him some of the vilest names that can be said on television. On the other hand, Trump is still exceeded by Bill Maher, who once infamously called Sarah Palin a “c---“ on his HBO rant fest show. Trump has also elevated women to management positions in his various business enterprises to a greater extent than has usually been the case.
But the idea of Clinton going down to defeat at the hands of Trump cannot possibly be attributed to any shortcomings on the part of the candidate herself. So, Clinton’s coming humiliation has to be because the American people are unworthy of her. #Health
Yes, Golda and Maggie were the walking dead.
Oh, dear. I’m so glad I’m not named Rebecca Onion.
Mr. and Mrs. Onion and their children Shallot and Scallion.
Because leftist womyn consider conservative women to be traitors.
Seriously, if I were a woman, and were eagerly looking forward to electing the first female President, I sure as hell would want it to be someone more capable and impressive than Hillary.
When people get a look at what Trump really does for women and how what he’s produced as a father they love it. It’s not talked about enough.
That's quite correct. We really don't deserve her. Really. We just don't. Please.
Somehow I get the feeling she’s an onion whose layers I would not like to peel away.
man who encapsulates all of the worst aspects of masculinity, from their point of view. Donald Trump is loud, vulgar, and reeking with machismo. He is not shy of calling women who annoy him some of the vilest names that can be said on television.
My kind of guy LOL!
“Rebecca Onion wrote...”
Bhwhaahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Don’t forget their cousins, Yellow and White.
They will label those that didn’t/won’t vote for the Hilldebeeste misogynist or women hater, just like those that didn’t vote for 0bama racist.
The video of her collapsing due to her grave illness was her point of no return.
If Golda and Maggie were around and running for President of the USA, I think Donald would have smiled and expressed confidence in those two, even if they were running on the democrat ticket.
Of course, the democrats would never allow Golda or Maggie to run as their nominee for President.
Hillary’s chattel of morons keep trying to make this an issue about women when in fact it is an issue about Hillary.
You forgot Leek
...also purple...
Personally, I don’t care if Hillary’s ambitiousness made her sick, or her sickness made her ambitious, or if divine judgment made her sick, or karma, or random coincidence. I don’t care that she is female. I don’t care how old she is. I don’t care that she is the wife of a former president.
What I do care about is her lifelong allegiance to radical leftism AND her lifelong corrupt criminal actions. I think a lot of Americans agree.
And the desire to elect the first black president in spite of his stellar lack of qualifications in addition to his hard-left politics led to the last two horrible terms. We don’t need to excuse pathological and criminal behavior to get our first woman president.
And does she write for The Onion?
Anyone remember Faith Popcorn?
And their cousin from Georgia, Vidalia.
