Topic	Hillary on why she lost to Trump
Inviso 04/08/17 8:53:13 AM #54:	Kenri posted... ExThaNemesis posted... "shrill bitch" is somehow an unacceptable gendered misogynistic attack says the group of people that have been guffawing over "tiny hands" "orange" and "fake hair" for six months I mean, none of the latter are misogynistic or even gendered. Where's the hypocrisy? Yeah. Donald Trump has proven time and time again to be a self-centered, vain asshole, and what you cited are examples of things specifically regarding him as an individual (with the hair and tiny hands being things he has a personal history of commenting on.) "Shrill" is one of those words that exposes a double standard in how women are viewed in positions of power. A man can yell and scream and bellow, and unless he loses his goddamn mind to the point of looking like a crazy person (Howard Dean), this is accepted as "passion." But women like Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren or Carly Fiorina immediately get cast in a negative light and called "shrill" when THEY speak up, because it reassures those pre-existing biases that women who speak up are bitches, and your average person doesn't want to deal with that. Hence Donald Trump's "nasty woman" comment during the debate when Hillary wasn't doing anything especially nasty (especially in comparison to the things HE'D said in that debate.) --- Touch fuzzy.
