I am getting so tired of the Hillary Clinton bashing campaign. Time after time I keep hearing derogatory comments about Hillary Clinton and the media seems to be turning a blind eye. When Don Imus made a racist remark about the Rutgers Women’s basketball team, there was a national outrage and he lost his job. I can think of at least a dozen media commentators that have made sexist remarks about Hillary Clinton — the first woman to come so close to a presidential nomination — and nobody seems to care.
So what’s the message we’re sending to women? That it’s perfectly acceptable to make derogatory comments towards women? I get it, racism is NOT ok. Why not apply the same standard to sexism? Why is it OK to treat an entire gender with this kind of hatred? (more…)
