Camille Paglia: Sexism has nothing to do with it.

I love this article because Camille Paglia addresses all of the things I have been wanting to write about Hillary but have hesitated to follow through on so as to not feed into the claims of sexism that many of Hillary's supporters have held up to shield their candidate.

Which by the way is a sort of preemptive censorship. I feel the same is true of anybody who claims every criticism against Barack is racist. Fortunately the latter much more rare.

I especially love this passage: For all her claims of media bias and ill treatment by her male fellow candidates, Hillary has got off absurdly softly in this campaign. No one — neither her rivals nor mainstream journalists — has had the guts to explore or even list the bursting catalogue of past Clinton scandals, in which Hillary was nearly always hip deep.

Charges of sexism have become Hillary's rote strategy for evading scrutiny. But by entangling the noble movement of modern feminism with her own knotty psychodrama, Hillary is reinforcing hoary stereotypes about women. Will every losing woman candidate now turn on the waterworks and claim to be maimed by male pride and prejudice?

I mean really which rational thinking person could disagree with that statement?
