Election year sexism against Hillary Clinton brought me closer to my mother

9. Ah yes, @ demdebates when her opponent showed himself..

This understanding crystallized during the debates: fingers pointed, repeatedly, toward Clinton’s face; the curt way she’s called “the secretary”; the booing and the constant talking over her – and the fact that she has to stand there, calmly, and take it, lest she be “too shrill” – makes me ache with rage.

Reminds me of when we were told by Skinner to be more nice and we wouldn't get Hides by the majority here on DU. Yeah, that worked out so well. "Power corrupts" that's not an adage for nothing.

Thank you for this, workin'~
