Hillary Clinton: Media ‘double standard’ on women By: Maggie Haberman April 3, 2014 11:44 PM EDT

Hillary Clinton discussed her work at the State Department, called for young women not to take criticisms personally and rapped the media for treating powerful women with a double standard at the kickoff of “Women in the World” in New York City Thursday night.

Clinton’s appearance on a panel with International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde, moderated by New York Times columnist Tom Friedman, ran the gamut from their opinion on the situation in Ukraine to a high-five between the two women when Friedman suggested toward the end that both women could end up in presidencies — Lagarde of the European Commission, and Clinton of the United States.

She revealed that an entire chapter of her upcoming book about her time at Foggy Bottom focuses on the sanctions against Iran that, her aides have argued, were responsible for setting the groundwork for bringing Tehran officials to the current negotiations over freezing their nuclear production.

When asked by Friedman about her laying “a predicate” for the negotiations that began under Secretary of State John Kerry, Clinton said, “I write obviously a whole chapter about this because this is the kind of … painstaking, microscopic advantages and putting together the international coalition” that effect change.

It “changed the calculus inside the Iranian government,” she said. “It took an enormous amount of effort on the part of a lot of us to put that” in motion.

She also stressed that she was “very proud of the stabilization and the really solid leadership that the administration” gave when she and President Barack Obama came into their posts amid the financial crisis.

Imagine, Hillary Clinton talking a double standard when it comes to women and their rights.

Folks, you’ll NEVER see a more conflicted woman on any subject, than this woman on this subject.

This is her attempt to head of tough questions in advance if she runs. remember Geraldine Ferraro(sp)?

She is planning on playing the victim role

“Hillary Clinton: Media ‘double standard’ on women”

Ya just can’t make this stuff up. ThunderThighs has gotten a pass on everything (cattle futures trade, missing billing records, travel office scandal, Benghazi disaster, etc., etc.). The State Controlled Media have covered her @ss the whole time and she whines about a media “double standard” on women.

The new Big Lie, told over and over.

***
She’s just preparing us for her use of the Obama strategy. Every time someone calls her out for one of her lies or for her policies she will scream “misogyny” the way Obams cries “racism”.
