Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton struggled Wednesday night to answer a question about why she took more than $600,000 in speaking fees from Goldman Sachs in one year.
“Well, I don’t know. That’s what they offered,” she said…
Anybody who watched the townhall yesterday knows that Hillary didn’t “struggle” with the idiotic, sexist question. She dismissed it with a joke because she’s by now used to decades of sexist moralizing about women’s “rightful role” in society. It’s truly admirable that she can be so gracious about this endless badgering. (The quote is from MSNBC that is shamelessly shilling for Bernie and if you go to the original source, you’ll see that the stupid fuckers accompanied the lying piece with a photo where Hillary looks confused and about a hundred years old.)
The most disappointing thing is that I found this ridiculous quote gleefully reposted by a female academic. One would expect a professional, intelligent woman to be a but more aware of the realities of sexism, but no such luck. Well, I shouldn’t be surprised, given that the academic in question once wrote a disgusting, vicious libel about my university. You all know the kind of work we do and the student population we serve and can imagine what kind of a superficial, snobby person would want to spit on us from her ivory tower.
Please contrast all this infantile mud-slinging with my invariably respectful yet not obsequious coverage of both Bernie and Hillary.

Speaking of sexism and Hilary, the latest Republican candidate meme is about spanking Hilary as if she was an errant child in need of correction. If you Google Spanking Hilary, then you’ll get lots of hits. (Pun intended)
For example:
“Hard to believe we have to have this conversation, but here we are: GOP candidates, you must stop pledging to “spank” Hillary Clinton. You must stop suggesting voters should “spank” her. You must stop fantasizing about spanking her on the debate stage. Do you even realize how this makes you look? Surely you do.
The latest would-be spanker is New Jersey’s absentee Governor and flailing presidential candidate Chris Christie , who would like to both paddle Hillary’s rear end and subpoena her.”

It’s interesting how they both fear and desire her. The most patriarchal, conservative men, I find, secretly dream of a powerful woman to take upon herself some of their burden.
