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 nation’s 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 you’re coming across can be filtered in a way that you don’t even imagine.”

Hey Hillary, a bitch is a bitch and it’s hard to hide.
Another “women can do everything a man can do, but please be extra nice to us” whine.
These liberal radical females are angry. They are angry at all the alleged shortcomings of America.
As I recall Sarah Palin was always positive and upbeat in that campaign.
Ronald Reagan was generally optimistic as I recall.
Why does Hillary think any politician, man or woman, has to display open anger when running for office?
... or looking like they’re in the middle of one.
She should be advising female democrat politicians and those who aspire to becoming democrat politicians to get training in acting. That way they can be in more control of what is shown on the outside, preventing all their angry, hateful, inner ugliness from seeping out. Of course, if they manage to do that they need to stay in their fake decent human being character role as much as possible.
How about this as well?
Liz Warren notwithstanding, none of the female candidates likely to run in 2020 will be under an active FBI investigation.
At least she didn’t try top encourage Honesty and Truthfulness, otherwise her daddy Satan would of burned her up on the spot.

I think by the age of 30, most women have perfected this and most men recoil from it. Of course, you could get regular face lifts.
Nonsense. They just have to avoid being socialists or progressives!
What day was the left not angry?
The one who will surely fail is Amy Klobuchar.
Reportedly Harry Reid had to pull her aside several times to admonish her for her raving b*tch act in front of staff.
They ARE a bunch of leftist angry feminazis.....HELLO.....
WTH is that?
Some borg-like female thing? Would it be pink and in the shape of a planet-sized spaceship?
Right! Isn’t ‘liberal woman’ a synonym for ‘angry’?
Somebody queue the flying monkeys
Somebody queue the flying monkeys
True!
Though it might actually be that male candidates have to make greater effort to avoid other pitfalls, like looking "too smug" or - G-d forbid! - "smirking!"
Candidates of both sexes each have their own obstacle courses to navigate. Hillary is falsely portraying the matter as though male candidates were subject to no constraints / had to battle no stereotypes
