John, John surely you are not that naive. Of course no one will say it, some psychologists call it involuntary misogyny, as long as she stays at home ,has the meals on time and looks after the kids it is fine. but let her get ambitious and it hits the proverbial fan.

In other words if a male doesn't like the thought of Hillary Clinton as President he is, Ipso facto, a misogynist. Got it.

It was not only Hillary,they gave the same sort of ride to Julia Gillard in Oz and Dilma Rouseff in Brazil. I suspect that even Angela gets some of it as well.

Did you read it all?

Don't think anyone said that. Some are, some aren't.

You haven't answered the question. Dismissing the arguments of anyone who disapproves of Hillary as involuntarily misogynistic could be a sign that your own position is weak to the point of being beyond your ability to defend.

Yes, that would be illogical, if anyone did that.

Look I just got my copy, read the article, thought that the author made a good case. You see I was married to a very strong, very accomplished woman and saw first hand how she was treated by men. So maybe that experience gives me a slight bias.

The media does treat her differently then they treat Trump. Watching Washington Week last night I found it shocking that even the female talking heads were doing it.

Hillary is a bit of a geek and would prefer to speak of plans for the nation. But when she does it is ignored. She has lately resorted to doing exactly what Trump does. She is criticized strongly for doing this but it sure gets him media coverage. Like the lame stunt he pulled at his new Washington hotel in declaring that Obama really is American then blamed Hillary for starting the birther rumor.

I confess to a bias in favor of women and look forward to the day when we pass the ERA. It was two men who denied our claim under the EEOICA but it was a woman who proved them wrong and showed them why. If you want a job done right my experience says give it to a woman.
