Female Senators: Hillary Being Held to Sexist Standard -
Patriot News Daily ^ | 2/15/2016 | Staff

Posted on 02/17/2016 4:57:32 AM PST by HomerBohn

From the moment Hillary Clinton dropped her hat into the ring, everyone who was not a brainwashed feminist radical knew that she was going to play the "sexism" card every chance she got.

So far, she has attacked both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders for using sexist language against her, and now her supporters in the Senate are jumping on the bandwagon as well.

In an interview with The Hill, Senators Barbara Mikulski and Dianne Feinstein said that Clinton was being held to a different set of standards than is typically applied to her male competitors. "Many of we women feel that there's a double standard. What's being said about Hillary is what women have heard for centuries. You're too loud, you're too aggressive, you're too pushy. Why do you want the vote?" Mikulski said.

Okay, and is there any doubt that if the media was criticizing Clinton for being too soft-spoken, too passive, and too demur that Mikulski would levy the same charge of sexism? "I think women go through a magnifying glass that men do not," said Feinstein. "Look at Trump. Talk about braggadocio, talk about arrogance, talk about shouting, talk about demeaning, talk about insulting. It's all there." So true. Trump has never been criticized for any of this. Not once.

Every single candidate in this race has been picked apart based on their appearance, their demeanor, their tone, and everything else that is supposedly only happening to Hillary. Feminists have the remarkable ability to prevent anything that contradicts their worldview from getting inside their tiny brains.

Frankly, why shouldn't Clinton be subject to unique criticism based on her gender? She's the one who has made her gender one of the primary reasons that she should be elected president. How can it be that it's important to elect a female president if there is no difference between a man and a woman? Or are we supposed to believe that being a woman is only a positive and never a negative? And if that's the case, wouldn't that be the very definition of sexism?

Women are not exempt from scrutiny, and they don't get to cry foul every time someone calls them out. If the media can relentlessly mock Bernie Sanders's age, Donald Trump's hair, and Chris Christie's weight, then Clinton's shrill tone is fair game. If she's going to be president, she's going to have to run the same gauntlet as anyone else. To give her a handicap...well, that would be sexist.

The Senate's two premier Democrat water buffalo garbling some inane comments about 'sexism'.

Clinton swiped Two hundred thousand dollars worth of furnishings from the white Hut after Billy Goat's term ended.

She lost Six billion from state department funds.

The duo have 48 people on a killed list.

She has lied time and time again. How can Americans cast a vote for a liar & thief? She is owed nothing.

Plus, it would be revolting to see her fat head every time one opened a newspaper or washed a newscast.

The MSM will be fawning all over her with their legs tingling.

Every time I see an angry looking Hillary, waving her fist and yelling, I hear this:

“Pick up your socks, take out the garbage, and cut the grass! What’s the matter with you?”

It must frustrate Hillary to no end that a large percentage of her anticipated female supporters are going for Bernie rather than her.

If one were going to put forward a female candidate and promote her gender as a major qualification, would Hillary be the first name that comes to mind? I think not.

Through a magnifying glass? Who taught these idiots to speak?

Hillary through the looking glass (that she no doubt cracked by looking in it).

Her Howard Dean moment! Not that it’s gonna matter. This is where being a woman protects her from ridicule unlike a male politician.

She is so frustrated that Huma will be worn out attempting to sooth her troubled mind.

Snap-On-Tools to the rescue.

What do you expect from two fatheads?

This is the last term for the tired old lesbian Mikulski. Good riddance, but the clueless voters will conjure up yet another fat lesbian to take her place.

California has delivered time and again these two idiots Fineswine and Boxer proving that the state is a lost cause.

It’s apparently not a problem that most of her career happened because she was Bill’s wife.

She is of course being held to a double standard. No husband would be accused of enabling his wife’s dalliances.

I didn’t realize there was male treason and female treason.

Libs don’t want women held to different standards but they DO want some minorities held to different standards (testing,hiring,behavior).

Confusing !
