  • the catch-22

    I am so disappointed to hear Edwards trot out the "real-men-don't-cry" mantra.

    Long accused of being too animatronic, the woman shows some emotion (heartfelt or "calculated" aside), and she's called out for not being "tough" enough. The response is as predictible as it is sexist.

    HRC will never win over her dissenters because they've decided she's the Dragon Lady. There is nothing she can do. Nothing. She could cure cancer with her kisses, tame little woodland creatures with her singing, and spin rainbows from her fingertips, and a substantial amount of the electorate will still say "Yeah, but did you see her eyebrows? What a witch!"
