For Hillary Clinton, any gender-related problems she encountered in previous races have been “wiped out,” and her gender would only be an asset if she runs in 2016, writer Anna Quindlen asserted on Thursday.

“I think the gender issue as a problem or a deal breaker — ‘Can we have a woman as president of the United States?’ … it was wiped out,” Quindlen said at a talk at the Center for American Progress in Washington. “It was wiped out when she ran and nearly won in 2008, and it since has been even further wiped out by her performance as secretary of state.”

“I think there will be many issues around her candidacy if she runs in 2016,” Quindlen continued. “I do not think her gender will be one except that there will be a whole bunch of women quietly saying, ‘Yay,’ every day [until] the election.”

RE Hillary Clinton and the 'Feminine Mystique',

"WHAT DOES IT MATTER HOW MANY ARE DEAD NOW, THEY ARE DEAD NOW, SO WHO THE F......CARES ??? AHHHHHH, OOOOWWWOOOO

[BigCinBigD]

Hillary Clinton is a W.I.N.O. (Woman In Name Only)

[MestaMachine]

Feminine and mystique are definitely two words that would absolutely NOT enter my mind in conjunction with hillary clinton.

[Average Al]

After Obama the bar is so low we would consider a grey alien if we had the chance.

[hitkicker]

But it won’t stop the Dems from labeling any man who disagrees with Clinton as “sexist”, “mysogynist”, etc.

And of course for female opponents they’ll fall back on the “false consciousness” argument.

[Squantos]

All polidiots and presstitutes are liars ...... Vote and absorb advice accordingly .

[Cowboy Bob]

I think the word is not “mystique,” but rather “mistake.” At least in Hillary!’s case it is!

Throughout 2007, leading up to the Democrap Primary in 2008, she had an overwhelming lead of 20 points in every poll, every month. Then in September of 2007, CZAR B.O. left her and lover boy Edwards in the dust. How did this invincible candidate blow such a lead?

After Super Tuesday, she was blown away and never recovered. I guess the voters got to know her and her campaign tactics. So she had to resort to being an enabler for the CZAR in the Benghazi slaughter and cover up, something she has demonstrated throughout her clinging to the Clinton's "Two for One" elections.

“Female, but no longer feminine”

[Red in Blue PA]

Who knew “feminine mystique” included cankles?

[bert]

Hillary’s gender will not overcome the fact she is an empty suit.

There will not be simultaneous empty suits.

[ronnie raygun]

once again they are looking for a historic milestone they can sell to the dancing with the stars, and the low information voter drones.

[RegulatorCountry]

Beg pardon, but those pantsuits are filled to overflowing.

It’s what they’re filled with that’s the problem. Pasty and more than just a little fetid. And scheming, always scheming. Disgusting, yes. Stupid? Not on your life.

[rfreedom4u]

When I hear the Hildabeast mentioned the LAST word that comes to my mind is feminine.

[Farmer Dean]

Hillary’s feminine mystique is getting pretty stale.Like try to keep upwind kind of stale.
