OUCH! Has anybody noticed how much Andrea Mitchell is flailing?

[calimary]

31. That one got so bad that, around our house,

she was known and referred to as Andrea “oh but her emails” Mitchell.

It got to the point where I started to suspect a deep jealousy rearing its ugly head in DEEP resentment of Hillary Clinton. I was in a similar situation in a much different arena when I was still working. There were women I worked with who resented me for no other reason than because I had some job they thought they should have had, but I’d gotten there first. There were a couple who actively tried to screw me over because of it. I still carry the scars of “knife wounds in the back”.

You’d have thought that, when women finally started making inroads on the air (mid-70s to early 80s), we’d all be celebrating each other and pulling for each other and sharing that sense of historic accomplishment together as a united front. “For the movement” kind of thing. HAH! Fat chance! It was often more like “every woman for herself.” Some of ‘em could stab you in the back and you’d never even feel it - until too late.

It was really disappointing and discouraging! I thought it wasn’t supposed to be that way, because “sisterhood” and all that. SHEESH was I wrong.

I found that the worst and sneakiest saboteurs (at least who I encountered or tried to work with) were inevitably female. No guy ever reacted or treated me that way.
