I’m Not A Sexist, I Just Don’t Like Hillary Clinton for a Bunch of Sexist Reasons

By Megan Ford at medium.com (link):

I dunno. There’s just something about her.
I think it’s her voice.
Also her body language. I just don’t trust it.
She happens to have a woman’s voice and a woman’s body, but me not liking those things are NOT related.

She's more qualified than most if not all male candidates pretty much ever (because she has to be) but that's not enough. But it;s not because she's a woman, oh no.

that screams sexism it's that one of the most qualified, experienced candidates in history is being compared to a narcissistic jackass with sociopathic personality disorder. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are not equal candidates no matter how the media has spun the narrative.

The really laughable spin by the Trumptsers is that Hillary is controlling the message, deliberately baiting this fool because . . .

Well, I guess because she's a devious woman. That's how we roll, doncha know.

Hahahaha.

Like Ford's tongue in cheek.

Can pass all the test presented by this writer. If the candidates wasvjudhed by their voice (and faces) hands down between Trump and Hillary, Hillary will be the front runner. In fact I find her voice much morebpleasant than Sanders voice but I don't see a lot about either of her opponents getting judged on the same level.

among so many gems!

For realz. There’s no connection between serious violence against women and the fact that even women at the highest levels of power in the richest countries still don’t get respect. Like, you’re already a rich white lady with decades of achievement behind you. Now you just want to go to work without being judged for your clothes, marriage, parenting, or age, AND you don’t want to be held to contradictory double standards? Some people are so selfish. The daughters of men in foreign places are suffering far worse. We need to help them first so that one day, they too can achieve the highest office in the country and still get called a bitch for it.

One of my own faves:

If Trump wins it will be because Hillary Clinton is such a bad candidate and it’ll be all her fault that we have a psychopath as president.




One she omitted although it may be tacitly included more generally:

-- Hillary is such a bad candidate, ANY shiny new thing that isn't Trump (e.g., Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, etc.) is much worthier of my vote, whatever and whoever they may be.
