Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumOh, those Bernie folks are a hoot.
Now they ask all the time if things are sexist. Nothing like de-legitimizing an actual problem we have in our society that needs to be talked about. And yes, there are those at DU who are sexist and use sexism against Hillary. Some may not realize it, but many do.
-She cackles
-She colors her hair
-Look at her clothes
-She shouts
-She needs to smile
-She's ambitious
-She only thinks of herself
-She's blamed for what her husband did as president
-#whichhillary...nice play on words there
-Democratic whore
-And more
And now they are saying the Berniebros is sexist, comparing it to hag....I just don't even get that one. Can't admit when sexism is happening to a woman who will be the nom, but them?????
By not acknowledging sexism is happening to Hillary, they seem to want to shut us up. It's like how the rightwing treats racism within there party, against Obama. It's denied, and ridiculed, so see not happening. I feel this technique is being applied here.
Oops, forgot one....one of my personal favs....Queen. Funny how it Bernie who thinks he should be handed the nom, even if she has more delegates.....

(86,646 posts)I actually got beat up by a coworker for him getting an erection whenever he looked at me and I was not interested in him. He was so mad that I did not see the benefit of being his sexual victim #? And then I was fired because he was a guy and I made him mad. I couldn't even sue since the attorney told me it was my fault for working with men.
Back then we had no right to demand our rights.

(86,646 posts)I survived like most of the rest of us with a few scars. Yeah, it was bad and it took over a century to make a few gains like voting rights and the right to not have a person with a penis to accompany you or makes sure you were being ladylike or worthy of a job at all that wasn't cleaning and childcare.
It's why we still can't let down our guard for even a second.
HRC for POTUS!! (I can hardly wait until the POTUS doesn't illicit thoughts of masculine traits anymore).

(4,640 posts)my first encounter with sexism. I was sixteen years old. Working at a mall. The manager felt he could feel up any of us girls, make nasty comments, and get away with it because we owed our jobs to him.
Mind you, after dodging the grabby hands for months, I finally had it, and popped him one for grabbing my chest. He fired me, of course. But, my parents got the parent company to fire HIM when they pointed out that they could legally go after him for statutory rape because of my age, and his grabby hands was certainly NOT consensual.
Have I mentioned I have great parents? Being 54, that tells you how long ago that was.
