This is confusing. Born in 58, boomer, I am Wuuuhmaan! Well, anyway, my whole reaction to this article is: "huh?"

Ferraro and Clinton don't know what it's like to be called niggers, but they sure know what it's like to be called bitches. I've been thinking lately how easily people call females bitches. Is it with even more ease than people used to address blacks with the n word? Does anyone say "I'm not gonna say what s/he is but it rhymes with trigger?" Probably not, but to just come right out and say a female is a bitch is not going to get most folks shunned.

"Hillary looks poised to grab this moment and milk it for all it's worth..."

Yea, that really jumped out at me too ... It's one thing when a lot of the readers say that stuff, but I definitely paused ... who wrote this? one of Josh's regulars. huh. What to think?

eliottness, the point of my comment "we hate strong women" not including your mom, your wife, or yourself (if you happen to be a woman) is: strong women are somewhat celebrated until they try for power positions, which is when they generally become bitches. So yes, you can support a strong woman in your personal life (some of your best friends may even be women!) and still be prejudiced against women, and have an interest in trying to shut women up. Saying a woman is shrill, hysterical, accusing her of going "waaaaa!" are all tried and true methods of achieving that goal - to get a woman to shut up.

By shutting a woman up men and their female enablers can continue to revel in the status quo and the exercise of that power.

DF, "Accusations of misogyny are being used here as a disguise for, "WAAAAAAAAAAH, it was supposed to be MY TURN!""

It is misogynist of you to accuse me of crying when I am only contributing to the commentary.

Someone earlier responded to CT Voter with some names of women he/she could support - one was the name of a dead woman, another the name of a Canadian born woman... When people say sure, I'd vote for a woman, just not HER, like CT and Desiderio, I want to ask, which high achieving women in the political arena you do admire and support as a presidential candidates?

We hate strong women. Even though it's okay if you, someone's wife or your mother is strong.

I really find the comments that this (new?) crowd of readers at TPM makes about Clinton supporters insulting and arrogant.

I've been reading here for years, and have posted 2 or 3x, sent a few emails. Problem is, I have absolutely brilliant observations, but when I read through the comments, they've already been made by other brilliant people. I assume someone has already said the exact same thing, but I didn't bother reading through all the comments this time.
