Hillary Clinton said in an interview this week that the female candidates for the 2020 Democratic nomination are unjustly facing the challenge of not looking "aggressive" or "angry" and must instead take a "Goldilocks path" of looking just right.
How does a woman stand up for herself on the biggest stage in the world without, No. 1, looking aggressive maybe a little bit angry that somebody is behaving like that, being willing to go toe-to-toe, when there are so few memories embedded in our collective DNA where women do that? Clinton said in an interview on the podcast TBD with Tina Brown.
As the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, Clinton and her supporters have argued she faced a double standard as the first female candidate from a major party seeking the nations highest office. Women, she said, often face scrutiny and criticism for perceived qualities or traits that would not be applied to men.
How do you get on this kind of Goldilocks path where you're not too strong and you're not too weak, you're not too aggressive and you're not too passive? the former secretary of State said to Brown in the interview. This is still a problem for women on the public stage.(snip)
In the interview, however, Clinton said she thinks the larger pool of women in the race for the White House makes the path a little bit easier, exposing the media and the public to a wider range of speaking styles and campaign approaches. She also thinks future female candidates will learn from her experience running for president.
Sometimes, she said in the interview, the way you think youre coming across can be filtered in a way that you dont even imagine.

If you think it's unfair, then go ahead and look "angry" all you want.
I highly recommend it.
because the women are angry?
It is especially hard for the DNC women candidates, because being angry is their nature...
Also, I don’t recall Sarah Palin having this issue when running as the VP candidate.
Cant Hillary try a new face ?
Cough cough....
Well, they no longer are expending any efforts to hid their socialism, insanity and hatred for America, so they should be able to force a smile on their faces.
Well, that rules out all the Demonrat females. Angry, bitter, enraged and evil.
She tried "having fun". Didn't help her any.
It is not possible for Hillary and her fellow witch democrats to present themselves like Margaret Thatcher, for example, mainly because Margaret Thatcher was not an angry witch.
must instead take a “Goldilocks path” of looking just right.

Yep limits the candidates somewhat, huh Hillary?
Yeah, right . . . voters ALWAYS warm up to angry male candidates, too.
I think the real advice Hillary should give is, “don’t make yourself appear phony, like me!!”
That’s going to be hard for Hillary to do.
How does a woman stand up for herself on the biggest stage in the world without falling down?”
It’s called a “walker”, you know, like you use at home.
yeah, thats it,, fake it woman !!
Shes right-they dont want to remind voters of her.
They also need to avoid looking they’re on the verge of a seizure.
She must be talking about Horizontal Harris.
She missed yesterday's media reports that said Trump "SCOWLED" BACK AT THE MEDIA WHEN ASKED ABOUT CUMBAG Cohen. All the have is victimhood, no ideas that resonate.
Throw her in the van, Stan.
