No woman has experienced sexual harassment en masse like Hillary Clinton during this presidential campaign. There’s no reason to think it will stop if she wins.
It’s not just Donald Trump. Clinton haters broadcast their harassment on T-shirts, buttons, car bumpers. There are even billboards and dolls. She’s regularly called a bitch and a cunt. Told to smile more. To smile less. Her looks are constantly rated and found lacking.
Clinton’s run for the presidency has unleashed a deep unease many people, men and women, feel about powerful women. Swirl that discomfort with the brazen misogyny of her opponent and his supporters, then top it off with decades of Hillary hate fueled by various conservative politicians and conspiracy theorists and the result is, well: Trump that Bitch.
You know we tend to think of Hillary Clinton as this incredible resilient and tough minded person who has been dealing with these attacks for the majority of her life and has grown a skin thick enough to protect her against anything.@realDonaldTrump you couldn't pay me enough money to vote for that evil bitch! Trump has my vote!!!!!!!— P.nut (@pnut1601) October 20, 2016
But can anybody really become tough enough not to feel anything in response to these incredibly disgusting comments?
I would like think of myself as a hard ass, but I have to admit that if I had to face what Hillary faces on a daily basis I am not sure I could get myself out of bed some mornings.
We think that she is the toughest woman on the planet, but we forget that she was once somebody's little girl, is now somebody's mother, and also somebody's grandmother, and that underneath it all she is just a woman trying to plant her feet in a place always reserved for only men, and that for that reason alone she is facing a never ending barrage of hate that no woman, no man, no person, should ever have to face.
No we should not only support Hillary Clinton simply because she will be the first woman President.
But neither should she be vilified simply BECAUSE she will be the first woman President.
Yet GOP women who are more honest than Hillary can be called cunts etc.
ReplyDeleteDemocrats have zero standards or morals.
Shut up alicia.
DeleteThe best part is that is the only excuse they have to 'Vote for Trump'.
DeleteIt's sad that republicans can take no criticism of their behavior without trying to turn it around on the other party. That's how toddlers argue.
DeleteWithout being more specific, how can we know which GOP woman you are calling a cunt.
DeleteFuck off!!
DeleteI haven't heard any Democrats using that kind of language.
DeleteBeaglemom
Name ONE, Alicia.
DeleteIs that what your Mom calls you since she is tired of supporting your lazy repuglican ass Alicia?
DeleteThat's what her dad calls her because he would know.
DeleteYes, it really WAS despicable for John McCain to call his wife that name, wasn't it?
DeleteSt. Augustine, Florida's oldest child is still crawling behind her Democrat parents and mooching free meals from them.
DeleteWhich ones? PayMe, Coulter, Bachman, MR. Marcus Bachman?? Mrs. "I was an escort, but high priced" tRump??
DeleteI have cruised many site both Republican and Democrat and hands up the language that the Republicans dole out is shocking. Shocking because they all say they are God believin' people. Not! Only when it serves them to try and minipulate the mass their way. Would someone please tell me do they want a better world, or do they want to rule the world? I am confused on the Republican agenda.
DeleteJust as we saw racism crawl out from under it's rock when President Obama was elected, I expect to see more sexism when Secretary Clinton is elected. But it need to be remembered that women make up over half of the population! Continue at will, you dumb assholes!
ReplyDeleteWe also hold the majority of economic power, the problem is women don't stick together.
DeleteWe have Melonmia and Sarah Palin as just two examples of women who not only excuse "locker room talk" but use sex to get what they want.
But Melania's waaaay more successful that way than Sarah. Like Sarah told her daughters, we'll never be good enough.
DeleteG -
ReplyDeleteHave to admit I got tears in my eyes reading your comment. I don't know how she maintains her composure. I have said the same of the Obama's.
The next eight years are going to rough for her - and us.

Cry we must!
I second your comments. I think Hillary Clinton showed the most amazing composure during the debates, especially during the third one. How dare Donald Trump make that remark about her being a "nasty woman"!
DeleteBeaglemom
The only way this country can start heal this festering sore of misogyny and vitriolic hatred for women is to elect a woman for president. Hillary has the fortitude and intelligence to take on this task.
DeleteI agree and I believe the only way to stop it is to "punish" the bad behavior.
DeleteThe republicans got away with a lot for example calling Obama a liar during the SOU,there should have been sanctions for such uncivil behavior.
I'm appalled at what Republicans utter in this campaign - pure hate and evilness!
ReplyDeleteWomen are going to come out in droves and vote for her and she's going to cream Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton is able, experienced, kind, has a great sense of humor, laugh and smile, a wonderful wife and mother and she is loved by many throughout the country.
I'd be embarrassed to call myself a Republican!
And, the guy that is wearing that above T-shirt should be carted off to jail! Using that nastiness on his T-shirt in front of women and kids - in a large crowd - is appalling. He's an idiot!
Vote Hillary Clinton! She is the ONLY answer to become our next POTUS! I have no doubt she'll do an outstanding job!
"She's a c-word" that's not deplorable?
ReplyDeleteHe is a c**t. His children came from a c**t. That is what he is stating with his tee. His female children are c**ts. Gop have no moraks.
ReplyDeleteHillary can laugh all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on January 20, 2017.
ReplyDeleteVote everyone as soon as you are able. Don't wait until election day.

DeleteWell written Gryph!
ReplyDeleteIf This Hillary Clinton Ad Doesn’t Make You Cry, You Are Dead Inside
ReplyDeleteMartha Soltani also explains that the work Hillary did for the Children’s Defense Fund, to make sure disabled kids can get a good public education, contributed significantly to Sara’s ability to become the woman she is today.

You bet I cried. How gorgeous.
DeleteEvery Republican mother should see it.
THIS is the record from the past 30 years of Hillary Clinton's public service that people need to know about.
DeleteEveryone who gets to her level of politics has to have made some questionable deals, made lots of mistakes, lied and misled the public to some extent, and traded favors. Our broken political system doesn't allow people who haven't done those things to rise all the way to the top.
However, the work that Hillary has done for children, for women and for families since she first left law school speak to her character and her motives. Sure, she's benefited from her life in the political system, but in the end she is there to serve the people of the United States. No one can honestly say that about the candidate on the other side.
3:29 Thanks for a voice of reason. I totally agree.
DeleteYou can't be in something as decisive as politics, especially at the highest level without mistakes and major attacks.
People just don't seem to get it. The more you get out there doing things the more mistakes you'll make. Best to learn from them and make yourself better because of it.
Those who don't want to risk tend to want to attack those who do. Because it is easier to attack then to face the truth.
(At least in this political situation we are living through.)
I am glad Hillary is busy and can forget the losers.

Go with the women, Hillary.

Just finished my early voting and I went with a straight Democratic ticket.
ReplyDeleteI've done my part, anyone else?
Oh, and for the guy in the above picture? If it weren't for who and what you call "c**ts", YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE!

ReplyDelete‘Journalist’ James O’Keefe’s Dumb Videos Will Send Hillary TO ELECTION JAIL, You Bet
http://wonkette.com/607821/journalist-james-okeefes-dumb-videos-will-send-hillary-to-slammer-forever-you-bet
O’Keefe accuses the groups of “a criminal conspiracy” to DO BAD THINGS. And he has the Trump Foundation's support. How can this go wrong? As O'Keefe gets the goods on campaign, he will probably find Obama's Kenyon birth certificate for the Trump Foundation. Be sure to read the latest on Barffart and check in with Alex and the gang.
O'Keefe is getting no traction and no interest by the main stream media.
DeleteI guess that $10,000 investment by the Trump Foundation should be written off as a bad decision.
How neo-Nazi trolls tormented an anti-Trump conservative for adopting a black daughter
ReplyDeleteFor the past year-and-a-half, the alt-right has used social media to viciously torment Donald Trump’s critics on both the right and the left. National Review writer David French, who briefly flirted with launching his own independent presidential candidacy to challenge Trump, writes on Friday about the awful harassment he and his family have been subjected to over the past year.
In particular, the alt-right made a point to attack French’s youngest daughter, whom his family had adopted from Ethiopia. You see, alt-righters view bringing in children of color to America as the ultimate betrayal of the white race, which is why they had particular scorn for French.
“I saw images of my daughter’s face in gas chambers, with a smiling Trump in a Nazi uniform preparing to press a button and kill her,” he writes. “I saw her face photo-shopped into images of slaves. She was called a ‘niglet’ and a ‘dindu.’ The alt-right unleashed on my wife, Nancy, claiming that she had slept with black men while I was deployed to Iraq, and that I loved to watch while she had sex with ‘black bucks.’ People sent her pornographic images of black men having sex with white women, with someone photoshopped to look like me, watching.”

The Frenches would give the world President Ted Cruz.
DeleteThey won't get an ounce of sympathy from me for attacks on them from their own side of politics.
So the Frenches can't deal with Sarah Palin's crowd? They signed on with the Palins, what else would they expect?
Delete1:31, I'm sorry, but while I agree with you about the parents being on the receiving end, I find it despicable their children are being attacked. Only people like Humpty Trumpty do that sort of thing - and the attackers deserve to be on the receiving end themslves.
DeleteBrancy is unhappy she is now the focus of right wing hate.
DeleteMy, my. Tsk tsk. I am just appalled.
Oh, look. Hamilton is on PBS!

ReplyDeleteYO DUDE!
Ya'll got that screened on a wife beater?
Girls (and boy), we need to steel ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThere is no doubt whatsoever that sexist and misogynist attacks on Hillary Clinton will only increase and worsen when she's President.
I promise you. Get ready for it. Keep your loins girded, Gryph.
Maybe.
DeleteBut I think with a woman in the oval office quite a few of us are going t be speaking up and fighting back instead of keeping silent and turning the other cheek.
Yeah, there are an entire nation of Nasty Women and we're not going to take it any more.
Lol. Your sticky sweet blind adoration bullshit is pretty tough to cut thru on this one.
ReplyDelete...This blog is dedicated to finding the truth, exposing the lies, and holding our politicians and leaders accountable.... lol
We found the truth about you.But we'll keep you in suspense.
DeleteAnyone else struck by all the mean, unhappy faces shown in the crowd? I kinda feel sorry for them and their sad, miserable lives.
ReplyDeleteThey're all realizing that their 5 year limit of welfare and food stamps and WIC is about ready to expire, and the best part is they expect a narcissistic billionaire to fix their lives!
DeleteMe have sad face too, if I'd made a life like these idiots have.
The contrast strikes me when I see pictures of Hillary people at rallies. They always look like they're having such a good time I want to join them.
DeleteDemocrats are optimistic.
DeleteRepublicans are pessimistic. That is why they live in fear and use negativity to try to gain votes.
Okay, look at the guy in the "she's a cunt" t-shirt. Look at his wife. Okay, then realize that these two fucking Cletus's have spawned 3 kids that from the looks of them we, responsible Americans, are paying to raise because these two idiots over-spawned.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Trump is not going to help these poor Hillbilly fucks, in fact he finds them as reprehensible as the rest of us do, but somehow, these Hillbilly idiots with too many children and no cash flow think Trump is going to change their lives. . .I can't wait to see them starve.
I wish there was some way they could get a taste of Trump's America.
DeleteThey are too stupid to even question why he has to become president to create jobs in the USA. He has all those businesses overseas, how come?
No self respecting woman would put up with the likes of the a**hole wearing that shirt... Not only is the shirts and the mans message beyond offensive, demeaning to his own wife and children, it's the word...
ReplyDeleteTHE ugliest word in the English language, and one of the most disappointing things about that is that we haven't an equally offensive word that applies to only men. I have wished for years to find a word that is male gender specific that is as offensive, not to insult, but to hopefully get some men to understand how offensive that nasty "C" word is. When I hear it, it's like someone cutting me with a knife.
Words do matter, they can lift and empower they can cut and demean.
No "real" man would ever use that word to demean women.
This is the saddest election year I have ever lived through. I'll be so glad when this election is OVER, but sad to think about how our new President, Hillary Rodham Clinton will be treated... yes she's breaking a glass ceiling, Obama broke a glass ceiling, at a price. The bravery and fortitude these two exhibit gives me hope. Hope for our country and hope that change will occur in the hearts of those who hate.
Madam President and the First Gentleman.
DeletePresident Clinton and President Clinton.
Sounds pretty good.
There was a time when men would be on the brink of killing if you insulted their honor. Liar, cheat, coward. Calling a man a "bastard" used to mean something. You're right, there is nothing you can call a man to equal the disgusting, derogatory insults they hurl at women. Bastard doesn't have the same impact as Bitch.
Impotent won't do it. You could question his manhood but calling a man a homosexual, fag, queer, etc. is no longer politically correct or a stigma.
Calling a man a dick doesn't have the same impact as calling a woman a cunt.
I think this is because men have historically used vile epithets against women to control them and exert power. They have used the context and their position in society to make the terms more vile than anything a woman can hurl back.
Perhaps we could try referring to men as dildoes, but I don't think that would have the same impact. Aside from the fact that Cletus and his ilk probably wouldn't know what one was.
Ignorance is a disease with these pathetic folk.
ReplyDeleteThey appear to be lacking in self esteem. While I can only be empathic. I am also very concerned that this segment of the human race will never get it! Low rent .
A sea of scowling faces. Try as I could, I could not see a smiling one among all of those in that photo. Very angry people, very unhappy people, all of them. I've told my family members (two of whom are volunteering, like me, at for the Clinton/Kaine campaign office locally in Cleveland) to be *very* careful about who they talk to and how much information they tell...My brother assumed a friend of his was a Hillary supporter and told him he was a volunteer. Boy, did that guy go NUTS on him! I'm especially worried about my *very* liberal mom, who is pushing 80, tiny and very frail. But she is still very vocal and doesn't care who she offends. This can be very dangerous nowadays. I travel aways to volunteer because I want no one where I live (rural Ohio) to know what I am doing. The other day I worked a phone bank, and it felt great! BTW, I also voted early and I highly recommend it, if it is possible.
ReplyDeleteIt is really pathetic how these crazies have taken away our freedom.
DeleteI would love to put a Hillary sign out front, but afraid that they might burn my house down.
Small minds have small vocabularies.
ReplyDeleteThe media has helped greatly repeating the message that there are the angry masses out there, as though it is the whole country.
ReplyDeleteI think they are in the minority and I guess we will find out when Trump loses.
Unfortunately, 7:55, I believe that when Humpty Trumpty DOES lose, we who weren't extremely vocal about supporting him (let alone NOT supporting him!) will find out how badly those jackasses will react. I am firmly of the belief we will see a LOT of violence in the streets, along with great numbers of attacks on minorities and others.
DeleteIt may come to governors calling in the National Guard - at which point we will discover how many of THEM (National Guardsmen AND governors) are in agreement with the violent ones.
Proving once again that repubs. HATE intelligent women or African Americans with high I.Q's. tRumps followers are ignorant, racist, uneducated idiots. Just as tRump said "I love the uneducated" His brand is suffering, since the followers could never afford to stay in one of his hotels, golf at his resorts, eat his steaks. It would be nice to see him open a series of "hot sheets motels" to accomodate his worshipers. Or another bankruptcy.
