I really don’t get why this writer sees this as worthy of mentioning.  Hillary is female, so when detractors or comediens want to take a jab at her, they use female stereotypes to do it. If Hillary were a male, then they would use male stereotypes.  It’s just how it is.  Many women seem to be especially sensitive to these stereotypes when they are trying to get into a “boys club.” If you ask me, this is a time to not be sensitive to it.  There is a “B” word for men too, and I see it used a fair amount, in addition to terms like chauvinist, the “D” word, and others.  I think that attention like this detracts from Hillary’s campaign.  given that the NY Times is so clearly in Obama’s court, I guess it’s appropriate.

Initially I had a hard time decifering which candidate I would support. I loved the fact that Hillary is a woman, and it would have definitely been a step forward for us if she had gotten the nomination HONESTLY. However watching her campaign and the dirty politics she is playing out of desperation I do not regret my decision. I not for voting for someone just because they are woman or man, black or white, I’m about the person. I believe as this campaign has gone on, Hillary has shown that she’s just as low down as the male politicians and that in itself is a step back for us as women.
