Steve Bannon got a 60 Minutes feature & Sean Spicer got an #Emmys cameo, but Hillary Clinton needs to "shut up & go away"? Mmkay.

(47,209 posts)Only one of dozens was vocally supportive of Hillary. His wife was shocked to here their wives making excuses for DT too. It was steeped in some of the ugliest misogyny I'd ever seen, the crap they were writing on FB. I know they thought they were being all macho but, it was so bone headed and gross. What a bunch of jerks. They're the urban counterparts to the WWC man filled w rage in the rust belt. Strange that they all did so well and always lived Dems until they were black, or women.

(14,531 posts)willing to believe the lies about Clinton used those lies as an excuse to not vote for her. They knew the pizza planet story wasn't true, but globbed onto it anyway. The same with all the other shit. How many women stay with their husband after he cheated on her? Tons, but with Hillary she was supposed to leave him to satisfy their blood lust. The ironic part is that if Hillary left him, she would be attacked for that instead. Her opponent has had 3 or 4 wives and many mistresses, 5 children from 3 different women and never once was that an issue.
I remember reading after Chelsea announced her pregnancy it was stated that Hillary made her get pregnant to boost her image. No shit.

(47,209 posts)Asshole was stalking her during the debate- everyone knew that was messed up!?!Chris Matthews posited that perhaps she wa slying when she said it bothered her, because she's such a strong tough woman. She only gets compliments when it seems they use it as a way to say she is lying. Lying about that? Give me a break. It's a sickness.

(6,917 posts)I've enjoyed seeing Ms. Clinton on every TV show that mattered and other places on TV. I see no conspiracy to keep her down. BTW, I was amazed at the dozens of Twitter responses to Spicer's appearance saying "Spicer should just shut up". Same with Bannon...he's been met with "he should STFU."
Ms Clinton is not a victim, she is a strong woman that was robbed in the worst election theft in history.

(1,236 posts)is GOP privilege vs. anything not GOP. All media forums seem to have quite the love for providing time to GOP reps, to include allowing them to be rude, interrupt opponents and provide much more voice.
This is definitely a rigged system, but not just rigged exclusively for while males.

(6,043 posts)It is destroying us. The worst outcome is what it does to our children. They are not prioritized.
The Flint lead-poisoning is one example but it is everywhere.
I think many men understand that we need to make the cultural shift and that it will benefit them too.
I have begun to shudder when I see fat cats like Tillerson in positions of power. What sort of man would push Exxon-Mobil deals knowing full well the effects of a poisoned earth on our children.
People like Tillerson have been trained in that Male Superiority Model from birth. Some have the imagination, empathy, and guts to change. Many don't.
Poisoning the village well and charging for the water.
