(15,805 posts)Longstanding gender biases already diminish women as being unworthy of equality, pay, civil rights, human rights and reproductive rights. They are denied respect, their accomplishments are automatically tagged with asterisks, their intelligence is questioned. Unlike men of similar stature, there is no recognition of a woman's earned skills, experience or expertise, and no respect for her accumulated gravitas, clout, and power. HRC hits every one of those buttons, and the media damns her for both negative and positive stories, so the built in biases are hard to ignore, but generally accepted by the public.
This is a repetitive story that effects many women, not just powerful public figures. When a woman breaks out the stereotyped image that society uses to force them into the traditionally acceptable roles of submissive sex objects, mothers and housewives, and she instead becomes an assertive, outspokenly whole person, she challenges the patriarchal society's purview that men are still the ruling class and superior to women in every way.
Women still have a long way to go to attain parity.
