Hillary Clinton has said she does not think she will live to see “true equality” between men and women.

She said: “I did that because it’s one of the aspects of the so-called double standard.
“You know, men take a shower, shake their heads and go out and men come in all sizes.
“You have a Prime Minister who never brushes his hair. That’s perfectly charming, you know.
“And so part of the challenge is for women, you don’t want to spend your time being turned into a caricature.
“You want to be yourself, be who you are, convey that to people.
“But in order for them to pay attention, not saying, you know, “Mildred, what has she done to her hair? Or George I hate the way she looks,” you do have to somehow find that sweet spot. You will never please everybody.”

“If she has children, why isn’t she taking care of them?

Women have always had “gender quality”, they just didn’t know it.

Sobering. The effort they go to create such fluid lies.
