Reply #45: The media is pushing this crud. She is commanding and brilliant. [View All]

We cringe at the media sexism, whether it's focusing on him or everything else they do to try and demean her candidacy, from commenting on her appearance, voice, or making remarks that are just short of outright calling her the B word.

The male media contempt at the possibility women could elect a female president is both hateful and predictable. It's too bad you buy into it and promote it when you could be giving your daughters an opportunity to feel proud and elevated from the daily trash they hear about being female every day.

The men on television who call themselves news people sputter and laugh nervously like a bunch of schoolboys, mucking up their words and sentences, they are so consumed by it. They only begrudgingly give her credit after every debate, every primary she's won. They're conduct is laughable and contemptible. It's a spectacle that for many women only confirms how many men still feel about us and that sexism is alive and well.

That includes this latest crud of them focusing on the former Mr. President.

It's had an effect at the ballot box.

I hope it continues to do so, and that women who support her remain strong and refuse to be pressured enough that they change their vote (Stockholm Syndrome).

If that happens, and the ugly spectacle of men taking Hillary Rodham Clinton down is successful, you can take your fair share of the credit for it. Or, you might think of your daughters now and cut it out now.
