Hillary: “A Very Large Proportion Of The Population” Fear Women As Leaders, You Know
Hot Air ^ | 12 May 2018 | Ed Morrissey

illary Clinton remains hot on the trail of the Deplorables™ responsible for denying her the presidency — twice. Mediaite captures part of a lengthy conversation with former Australian prime minister Julia Gillard about the many obstacles Hillary faced from the people she thought she should govern, including the “very large proportion of the population” who are too chauvinist to have a woman as leader. Hillary laments that women get attacked for their appearance as a means to belittle them and make them seem unworthy of power:

The former Secretary of State mentioned how men who run for office “come in all sizes and shapes” with “all kinds of hairstyles” and they go unmentioned because you’re “used to seeing men in these roles” and women are still “breaking glass ceilings.” She also invoked President Trump‘s attacks of women like Carly Fiorina and Megyn Kelly during the election for their appearances, which she insisted was a way for him to “undermine” women.

“There is still a very large proportion of the population that is uneasy with women in positions of leadership,” Clinton said, “and so the easiest way to kind of avoid having to look at someone on her merits is to dismiss her on her looks.”

Clinton also complained that the “lock her up” chant was a reaction to the idea of a woman in power:

Gillard had told Clinton that she was referred to as a “witch” and mentioned how Clinton faced “lock her up” chants during the campaign.

“There is this fear, there is this anger, even rage about women seeking power, women exercising power and people fall back on these attacks like you’re a witch or you should go to prison,” Clinton continued. “It’s not a majority, thank goodness, it’s not, but it’s a very vocal minority at least in my country. And sometimes these tropes are very much part of the press coverage.”

OHMIGAWD. She just won't face reality.

I do fear Women as leaders and mu Fear is justified, just look what Women Leaders have done to Europe, and look at the Mess Hillary created. As Jacqueline Kennedy said “women aren’t cut out for the Presidency”.

I think there are just as many women who voted for Hillary because she is a woman as there are men who voted for Trump because he is a man.

Hillary is waiting for the magic number of people to blame — once she reaches it she will have finally convinced herself that she was not to blame and get on with her life. Or so she thinks...

“One out of Thousands?”

I didn’t know there were thousands of women who were heads of state in Europe. Learn something new every day.
