It may have something to do with Hillary's gender for some people, but for most I believe it's her vicious campaigning style and her DLC connections.

It's not because she's a woman, it's because of the kind of person she is.  I get embarrassed when people say criticism of her is gender based.  If you want to play on the A Team, then don't pull the "Poor Pitiful Pearl" act and don't be a crybaby.

Women have suffered and do suffer inequities in this society.  Hillary is not one of them.

"Women have suffered and do suffer inequities in this society.  Hillary is not one of them."

Bullshit.  Do you think if she'd been president and cheated on Bill with an intern, the reaction would have been the same?  Do you think the public would have lauded him for standing by her?  

I hate the Clintons & the DLC, but I am loathe to be so dismissive of Hillary's own experiences as a person.

As Boo said: this isn't personal.

I think she's referring to Hillary in the context of this presidential campaign - Hillary hasn't endured anything foreign to every other presidential candidate in 2008, and she has flung more than her share of manure as well.

Hillary has run a horrible, dirty campaign.  Does that justify sexist language against her?  No.  Booman's been great about keeping that shite out of the frogpond, but it's been all over the internets.  Has Hillary's campaign and candidacy suffered because of sexism?  Overall, I'd say no, not at all.  However, I have been appalled by the sexist language coming out during these primaries.  

It's possible to simultaneously believe that Hillary Clinton is horrible and that she's being mistreated somewhat because of her gender.

It is indeed possible to simultaneously believe that Hillary Clinton is horrible and that she's being mistreated somewhat because of her gender, just like it is possible to simultaneously believe that we are affected by the gravitational pull of Earth and the gravitational pull of the moon...

I, too, have been appalled by a lot of the language over at places like dKos against.  That said, did you ever consider that it might be a reaction to the way the actual Clinton campaign has attacked Obama based upon his race?  Or perhaps also misogynistic reactions to misandric language (alebit more subtle) from Clinton supporters?

Let's not pretend the sexist language is only traveling towards one candidate in the blogosphere.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to you country.
