“Hillary tended to kind of campaign against people behind their back, and that was certainly my experience.”
In my stereotypical opinion, this is too common among women and the tactics of behind the back campaigning is varied. I know of some men who try to get what they want done this way with varying success. What I don’t understand is that these types have any credibility with people when they pull their manipulations. People are sheep, I guess and are very susceptible to this “conditioning”. I like men and women who are straight forward with what they want and that is what I expect. Many times I have been the odd man out because I wasn’t wooed by the manipulators with success. Frustrating. Life is politics.
When a female friend of mine first got to the level where politics were an integral part of the work load, I told her the one thing that I thought screwed up the most women. Everybody runs the risk of having to use the knife one day, I said, so just be sure that you only ever get caught using it head-on. If the boys think you’re a back-stabber, then you’re done.
