Is Hillary Hatred simply misogyny?

[DanS]

All the more reason to be suspicious of her power. People can understand the power of the bedroom.

[chequita guevara]

First Ladies have always had considerable power, with some, such a Mrs. Wilson, acting as virtual President during the President's illness. Mrs Clinton was hardly outside the norm. Nancy Reagan was no wallflower herself, controlling access to the President.

The virulent hatred of Mrs. Clinton stems from two sources. First ad foremost, she is the wife of Bill Clinton. The right wing absolutely hated the guy, and anything connected to him.

But a big part of it is she is an unapologetically powerful woman. She doesn't defer to men in the least little bit. Even Mrs. Pelosi and other women leaders in the U.S. make small deferences to patriarchy. Mrs. Clinton does not. Nor can she be shunted into the category of old crones, who are allowed to act like men without deferring to them, like Mrs. Albright.

One gets the sense from Mrs. Clinton that she doesn't need Mr. Clinton or any other man. She has him because she wants him, or at least because having him fits into her plans. Many men and many women too are frightened and disturbed by such women.

I know a lot of folks say that it's merely Mrs. Clinton's politics, but they don't heap such hatred and contempt on her male peers who do share her views.

What's your evidence for all that, Che? I don't deny that she's a mighty woman, hear her roar, etc., but do you have any cause to believe that's why she's hated, or is it all speculative?

Didn't Clinton but her own career on a back-burner for Bill's? That sounds like deferential. I think she's above all a complex person and that the antipathy against her has taken a life of its own.

I hate to do this, but you've done this on multiple occasions now. Would you mind if I pointed out that you have no idea how to properly use the semicolon?

Yes, because it's not true. It is true that I use it with great stylistic license when writing informally, because I don't have a sequoia-size stick up my ass. But that's just me.

Speculative as is the whole assertion that she is the most hated evar.

Point of the matter is there are many more male douche bag senators I hate far worse than Hillary.

I've considered naming myself Semicolon. Would that be a good move?

Using the semicolon with stylistic license is stupid when other tools, such as the dash, would be better suited. If you had simply insulted my mother or pointed out my own grammar errors rather than deny that you used it incorrectly, I wouldn't have bothered to continue this stupid argument.

[SlowwHand]

The argument continues at a seemingly never ending rate; although you both have admitted to trolling.

I vote yes. Semicolons have to deal with half as much **** as colons.

[SlowwHand]

Semi colons are to colons as Captain Hook is to an unhooked pirate. Instant respect.

[Darius871]

Why do we need to keep psychoanalyzing petty male insecurities like this?

Is it really so hard to believe that many people (whether right or left wing) simply find her phony, plastic manner grating on a personal level?

[LordShiva]

Darius sighting!

[SlowwHand]

Fine. I find her extremely grating. It works for me.

But that's not what I said; said I know how to use a semicolon correctly, but chose not to.

Apparently, though, your drunken mother was too busy servicing sailors to work on reading comprehension with you.

Is that better?
