Diamonds and pearls and the b-word

Are we really debating whether Hillary Clinton is facing sexism on the campaign trail?

    Campbell.....of COURSE there's sexism!

    I almost wish Clinton would have responded to Campbell's "boy's club" comment with, "Hey Campbell, look around, would ya? Do you see any chicks up here? Have you EVER seen any women in this setting? It IS a boy's club!" It's so obvious it hardly needs to be pointed out.

    The Senate has 16% female members, the House, 17%. That's pathetic for a country of over 50% women. Unfortunately, men are still in charge, and they will not go quitely into that dark night. Like everyone with power, they will hold on with all they've got.

    I finally figured out why the hatred of Hillary. It's hatred of women. We're fine, unless we ask for more. Which is why, despite any reservations I might have about Hillary's positions, I am backing her 100%. The men will never invite women. We'll need to storm the party, and they'll just have to adjust.
