1993 or 94?

Jane Fonda summed up this view best in which she called Clinton "a ventriloquist for the patriarchy with a skirt and a vagina." (It would be such a great quote, except when was the last time Hillary wore a skirt?).......
They are like her, but they don't like her.
Such is the curious phenomenon of many educated, professional, liberal women of a certain age when it comes to Hillary Clinton, the Los Angeles Times reports. In fact, upper-middle-class women on the left are "historically her toughest crowd," the paper reports.
Why is this? The Times offers a handful of possibilities:
1) They're not as worried about job security as their more blue-collar peers (who are more pro-Clinton), so they feel free to judge the New York Senator as a peer.
2) They're disgusted by the fact that, while they struggled to break through barriers in the workplace, Clinton hitched her star to her man and followed him to the top.
3) They're disappointed by her support of the Iraq war and the fact that she has recreated herself as a centrist.
4) Women hold each other to an unrealistic standard.
5) She's trying to act too much like a man.
"What you may be hearing is the commitment to pacifism that some women associate with feminism," said Wendy Kaminer, a 57-year-old author and lawyer. "It's what I think of as the 'feminine' strain of feminism that sees women as bringing something to the table because they are not militaristic, work by consensus and don't play the boys' game. And Hillary is someone who has played the boys' game exceedingly well."
Jane Fonda perhaps summed up this view best in an interview with the LA Weekly last May, in which she called Clinton "a ventriloquist for the patriarchy with a skirt and a vagina." (It would be such a great quote, except when was the last time Hillary wore a skirt?)
The Times says Clinton has been working to overcome this skepticism from her sisters by appearing on "The View" and telling a Chicago audience that "I'm your girl."
Why this should endear her to feminist peers, I'm not quite sure, but something seems to be working. Support for Clinton among college-educated women jumped from 29 percent in June to 50 percent in October, according to the latest LA Times/Bloomberg poll.
answer: Queen Bee Syndrome
1993 or 94?
Because she’s unlikeable?
Doesn’t matter if they like her or not, they’ll still vote for her in the general.
Which explains why feminists are always so grouchy/bitchy/miserable........they are what they dislike.
Is that photo touched up/changed...or is she that unfortunate to have legs like that?
“Queen Bee Syndrome”
Yup.
Women hate each other. I see it all the time at work and at clubs. They can be nice but they can also be catty b!tches.
Its telling the Times doesn’t mention the real reason feminist don’t like Hillary Clinton. Even Rosie O’donell ‘gets it’.
They can’t believe she didn’t divorce the man that made her a laughingstock worldwide, repeatedly.
Thats whats at the heart of feminist anger with St Hillary.
***Such is the curious phenomenon of many educated***
Educated means different things.
shhooopa, shhooopa, shhooopa...
The sound of her gate coming down the hall.
“And Hillary is someone who has played the boys’ game exceedingly well.”
That must mean Huma plays the girls part.
We had a lady in the office like that, except she took these quick little bitty steps.
One time one of the guys said that Frieda was going to start a fire if she didn't slow down some.
LOL!
;D!
That’s some high friction baby!!
Slow down Frieda!
~you owe me a keyboard~
They don’t like looking at themself...
Good call, they can't figure out why she hasn't dumped Bill. Hill has a huge problem named Bill. She needs him to stump for her to the group that still love him, while trying to distance herself from him with those that loath him.
