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.”

Ah ha! So THAT is the Goldilocks look.
Just FYI - it's "momo challenge": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momo_Challenge
And, it's NOT a good thing.
You might want to mention that requirement to AOC, Mad Max Waters, Wacky Pelosi, and beer-fancier “Tin” Lizzie Warren.
Where was that photo taken and who was the victim of Hellary’s rage!? Those contorted eyes are hellish!
Bad Actor Hillary tried looking Serious but ended up looking Crazy Mad ,LOL
Women who have Resting Democrat Face (RBF) cannot avoid looking angry. Perhaps advocating for the mass murder of innocent unborn babies leads to emotional issues.
Wow Hillary sure loves fighting straw woman arguments.
She looks puffy and incredibly arrogant even when taking a simple walk.
Bad health, I don’t think there’s any chance she could survive another campaign season for POTUS, especially since the primaries will be strongly contested by 20+ Rats.
Howard Dean could clue her in about that, even though he wasn't actually angry when gave that shout.
But if voters don't like a candidate, they don't give that politician any slack.
And voters weren't that crazy about Hillary.
LOL, good one!
She’s like a sack of spuds,Bud.
I believe Steven Spielberg tried to work with her. (He gave up.)
