I don’t think so. I think the time now is for a presidential election and that changes everything.

And until men quit doing as you did, quit calling her “bitch”, she won’t be taken down. All that word does even to a conservative woman is set any woman’s teeth on edge. It muddies your fine argument with something that women instinctively hate, men who call women, any women, “bitches”. It is like the “N” word for many many women. I know there are exceptions, but I don’t like women who call women “bitches” either. It is a sisterly kind of thing.

Otherwise interesting post.

“I don’t like women who call women “bitches”....”

Pardon me madam, but that seems a little bitchy.

Well then. I'll use the "c" word.

It's more fitting anyway.

I believe that your personal and emotional reaction to my post has ratified its underlying thesis. I note that you did not excoriate me for calling Hillary a bitch because she was innocent of the charge, we both know that she is not. Your distress is gender related and has nothing to do with the legitimacy of the charge. I am utterly unrepentant in that respect because the charge is true and the language is fair. It is fair to call any woman a bitch who hires private detectives to destroy other women women who have been sexually assaulted by her husband in order to preserve her own political ambitions.

However, I do take in good spirit and to heart your admonition respecting women's reaction to men using the term. As I said, your reaction anecdotally ratifies my original thesis:

If Hillary is to be taken down, she must be taken down by other females. When men do it, the Clintons simply deploy their surrogates to slander the truth teller. Of course they try the same thing against female critics, but that raises problems for them and it is not nearly as effective. The Clinton war room can dismiss Rush Limbaugh as a hatemonger and sell that lie but it cannot effectively smear Peggy Noonan

I am glad you found the rest of the post to be of interest.
