Back during the OJ trial, I remember watching Marcia Clark and that she came across to me as competent and tough.
I was surprised by how many people said “She’s so bitchy”.
It’s a matter or perspective I think.
Give Carly credit, she’s one of the few people to take Hilary to task on the abortion issue.

She clearly wasn’t.

She was more competent at having sex with her co-prosecutor than convicting the murderer.

Yeah, the "bitchy" thing is really kind of disappointing. There obviously are truly bitchy types who cackle and shriek. Both Clark and Fiorina are simply professional women.

I'm not anything close to a feminist, and spent a good portion of yesterday ranting about women in combat specialities. The PC stuff is ridiculous, and women are actually more privileged than working men in a great many businesses and organizations.

But there really do seem to be some guys who equate a competent, professional woman with being a bitch. That's unfortunate, because it partially validates the whining of some feminists.

Perhaps more co derivatives should read up on Thatcher. She was very often ridiculed by men for the sound of her voice "nails on chalkboard" one called it, told to get back in the kitchen, etc..

Sad to see some conservatives so eager to engage that stereotype.
