Camille Paglia: Hillary’s “blame-men-first” feminism may prove costly in 2016
Salon ^ | 1/27/2016 | Camille Paglia

Posted on 01/27/2016 5:45:16 AM PST by LittleSpotBlog

During her two presidential campaigns, Hillary Clinton has consistently drawn greater support from women than men. Is this gender lag due to retrograde misogyny, or does Hillary project an uneasiness or ambivalence about men that complicates her appeal to a broader electorate?

As a career woman, Hillary is rooted in second-wave feminism, which began with Betty Friedan’s co-founding of the National Organization for Women in 1967, while Hillary was in college. Friedan sought to draw men into the women’s movement and to ally with mainstream wives and mothers. But after a series of ideological struggles, she lost her leadership role and was eventually eclipsed in media attention by the more telegenic Gloria Steinem, who famously said, “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.”

Ha! Good point. I really need for someone to ask her about this at the next town hall event.

Thanks for the heads up, Camille. Occums Razor explains the dismal showing for an over funded candidate: She is a horrible candidate! People don’t like her. There is no amount of money that can fix that problem.

Of course she hates men, and women also...

She’s gay, maybe if she would have sex with her husband he could have stayed home instead of raping and abusing other women...and then for her to do the things she did to ‘his sex toys’ was disgusting...

Read ‘War on Women’ a lot in there that the media didn’t let out, you’ll see how horrible, evil, vile person she really is...

If you don’t keep the heat going in the oven at home, it dies...she should have remembered that...

She doesn’t need money. She has super-delegates and a fawning press.

i would not blame Hillary for Bill’s “raping and abusing other women” If he wanted to step out, he could hire a prostitute or find a FWB. he did not have to rape to have sex.
Not a Hillary fan!!

He did hire prostitutes, he went to Jeffrey Epstein’s island not to long ago to have under aged teen sex...

What I am saying is: “To keep your husband home, be interesting, and don’t shut the bedroom door on him”

If she would have done that, maybe he would have just settled for a few prostitutes and been happy...

I hate Hillary, she and him belong in prison!!!

That was bizarre. I’m not sure if that wasn’t a mistake. Blue contact lenses are horribly phony looking.

But there is something wrong with Hillary’s constant transformations. There is a commercial running in the tri-state area that shows Hillary speaking from the time of college until yesterday. There is not one photo in which either her hair or clothes align with the next photo. Always a wild change in hair styles and clothes that make me believe there is no core to her persona. She doesn’t know who she is. Just as one year, she is a foreign policy expert (!) but today she is back to being a “childhood” expert. I expect she’ll force her publisher to republish that boring tome “It Takes a Village.”

maybe, but I think it was more a sense of entitlement.
Kinda like Cosby without the roofies!

I wouldn't say I am profoundly disturbed when someone fakes their eye color. But it is definitely in a different category to me than makeup, false eyelashes, or even a wig. Most women improve their appearance with an artful application of makeup, especially as they age. False eyelash use is very common in American women. Wigs not as much. But when someone changes their eye color it signifies to me a rejection of who they really are and a desire to present a false image - not just an enhanced image which can be achieved through makeup.

And what is wrong with brown eyes? Is there a not so subtle view perhaps Aryan view that blond & blue is better than brown?
