What a sad post. 
It seems like you have given up already.
All of the situations mentioned above are actually when women are viewed as second citizens of sorts, and has to play by another rulebook, use their looks.
Actually hedge, I wasn't referring to looks at all. Faust mentioned it briefly, and I simply chose not to comment on it.
Whereas men will use their competence.
Competence is about gettting the job done, ...whether it be through delegation or otherwise.
Women who tries to break the norm, like Janet Reno, are ridiculed for not being feminine, and aren't judged by their competence.
Even women attacks these women.
I don't consider Janet Reno as having done anything outside of "the norm". As for Janet Reno, ...ya, ...I'm sure it was her feminity and not her competence that made Clinton appoint her as Attorney General.
I've never attacked Janet Reno for her feminity or any perceived lack thereof. It is usually men who subscribe to that tactic. Men and very insecure women.
And only when they goes back to acting traditionally women-like, as Hillary Clinton did, showing emotions, they can be accepted.
I think everyone is missing the point. Hilary's show of emotion, was not about "I'm human I cry".
What she did was relate to her target audience. She put her bid for presidency in the same light as these women's lives. This may seem like a sexist statement, ...but married women with children, ...raising a family etc., understood everything she said and what she didn't say. Maybe you have to be a woman to understand what she did, ...but she spoke Japanese to a population of Greeks, ...and they heard Greek coming out of her mouth.
Truly tragic.
no hedge, ...it was BRILLIANT!
Hillary Clinton gets judged, not by her political platform, but rather by how feminine, or un-feminine she is. How un-attractive she's become. How much of a lesbian she looks like. And bullshit like that.
Only by sheeple. Those who know what counts, will judge her on what counts.
You fail to recognize all of this. You evidently think it's all fine and dandy.
Well, I guess you and I are of different opinions then.
You think I think it's fine and dandy that hilary is judged by irrelevant criteria by people who don't have their heads screwed on straight? No I don't, ...but I think it's fabulous that she was able to get though to some who may not have had their heads screwed on straight, ...and get past the superficial and irrelevant.
