You know what? if Hillary Clinton is the example of a female candidate that you are gonna hold up to us than I am gonna let my sexism remain unrestrained. While we are at it, WTF is up Nancy Pelosi? When are the Democrats going to hold the line instead of caving again and again to the Bush Administration under her "leadership"? Isn't it time for the third movie of the trilogy? I'm still waiting for the return of the jedi or king. Hell I'd settle for a hobbit at this point in time. I was gonna say Jar Jar but he is too close to what we already have.

The most aggregious sexism spewed in this campaign came straight from the Hillho's own actions and statements!
She is the one who got hyperemotional and teary about 'weally wanting to be president' after losing Iowa (there is NO crying in politics --- NOT about losing--- which was the ONLY explanation for the tears ---'I want these things for my nation and you are not chosing me'.)
She sought credit for being a scorned woman (with all her comments about the trying times she had faced as first lady and her comments on Tyra Banks).
She highlighted her sexuality by trying to get some sort of mother of the year award for having 'raised' (which she has never established she did) a child who LIES on cue to the american public.
She tried to take credit for the work of her husband---STRONGLY suggesting that she had nothing else to her own personal credit!
She had her husband making remarks about 'boys beating up on her' without so much as a simple --- 'ignore the clown in the corner' remark much less a rejection/denounciation/repudiation/condemnation/ of the remarks. AND THAT was among Bill Clinton's MILDER sexist imagery of his wife! His whole damn argument was basically --- "I married her--so that should mean something." A feminist would neither have appreciated those remarks NOR tolerated them!
His remark about NEVER seeing any political candidate soooo disrespected---was the clencher-- reminding EVERYONE of how he disrespected her and she was not woman enough to remove her child from the enviornment!
She made several speeches commenting on it taking her longer to get dressed than the men in the campaign---telling people to think about how much "harder" that made things for her.
She referred to herself as "Paulette Revere" instead of picking any of HUNDREDS of feminist heroines to refer to.
She channeled a nag bag hag by flailing around and screeching "shame on you!" like some crazed Mommy-Bitch-from-hell stereotype!
And all of that does not BEGIN to touch the fact that one can not BEGIN to make arguments about discrimination while they ENCOURAGE ---VIRTUALLY INSIST that discriminatory ideologies can and should be applied by the Superdelegates to GIVE them an election they could not earn!
Yes----sexist remarks were made during the campaign---but bitches who lay down and spread their legs in a gang of men should expected to get fucked! When a woman chooses to place her sex front and center of the her arguments then she has NO business whining.
Feminism is about RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES! They go hand in hand! You can't have it both ways!
A feminist does not compromise herself by playing to every fucking 'I am a weak incompetent' stereotype! She accepts her responsibility to represent those of her sex with some iota of dignity!
The FACT is that EVERY appeal that Hillary made to women was NOT about being a leader or a competent person----it was ALL about we are women so we should stick together!
I work with FAR too many competent women everyday who NEVER appeal to other women on these levels ---- it was NOT necessary! The stereotypes she played too were insulting!
LASTLY---for any woman to CLAIM she has 35 years of experience and is READY on Day One to face the challenges of being president to be so ill prepared to deal with the sexism that was EXTREMELY predictable is the BEST argument for NOT trusting the woman to take herself to the toilet and wipe her own ass---much less run a nation!
The Hillary supporters have done NOTHING but underscore every negative by crying "sexism" and by claiming they would support McCain.
What in the hell could they possibly have been thinking?? If they were thinking at all!
Did they think the nation or the superdelegates were going to say----"Oh, there was sexism and Hillary can't handle it----so we'll punish the sexists by making her a PRESIDENT who can't handle sexism???"
What kind of IDIOTS thought that?
Or maybe they thought that CHAMPIONING party disloyalty was going to make someone trust and depend on their loyalty MORE!
Feminists---real feminists (not just homo- sapiens sporting vaginas) are a shit load more politically saavy than the Hillary supporters have shown themselves to be! They needed to find a pro- Hillary position and run with it! All they came up with was one Anti-Obama/Anti-DNC mantra after another. They let their candidate down----BIGTIME!
NOW -- true to the negative stereotypes for women---they want someone ELSE to be responsible and make it all better for them. It is disgusting! There is NOTHING feminist about it---not at all.
