Chelsea Clinton: People, often men, tell me to keep quiet (barf alert)
Metro (U.K.) ^ | 6/27/2018 | Sharon Lougher

(snip) ‘I remember early on in my career, when I was working in consultancy and finance, sometimes being told how women needed to be conscious of their tone of voice,’ says Chelsea (snip)

‘The advice was well intentioned but inappropriate. I remember thinking, “Oh gosh, do I speak too loudly, or too quickly or too stridently?” What does that mean?’

(snip)

‘I’m frequently told, online and in person, that no one wants to hear from me, that I should be quiet,’ says Chelsea, whose own voice is actually rather lovely — measured, quiet and fairly even in tone.

‘Sometimes that’s expressed in more colourful and crude language. It’s almost always men who are giving that feedback. But that’s about them, it’s not about me.’

(snip)

Her own ‘persistence’ lies in coping with the scrutiny her life has been under. And she has mother Hillary to thank. ‘She gave me good advice early on — that it’s important to take serious criticism from serious people seriously, and ignore the rest.’

Chelsea now lives in New York with hubbie Marc Mezvinsky and children Charlotte and Aidan, in times that must make her jaw drop. After all, her father Bill, following the Monica Lewinksy affair, was impeached for far less than Trump’s catalogue of scandals. Does she think the orange one will survive another term?

‘I don’t have a crystal ball,’ says Chelsea, who works for the humanitarian organisation The Clinton Foundation and has said repeatedly she has no plans to run for office herself. ‘But I am focused on helping elect Democrats in November [at the midterms] so that we are more able to hold the administration accountable for its collision of corruption and confidence in cruelty.’

yup, you keep your mouth shut and learn. Unless someone asks you something.

If the bimbette is such a financial expert, why didn’t she instruct her failure of a husband to manage his hedge fund that he was finally forced to close after losing ninety percent of the money?

Cheek implants, large freckles and two lines tattooed
down from the corners of her mouth and she could get
a job with Buffalo Bob, unfortunately for her that job
is already filled by someone talented.
