11. Of course being a woman is a big part of it

As all women know, we are expected to be the peacemakers, the conciliators, win or lose. In no circumstance are we to allow ourselves to dominate men, win or lose. We're expected to make nice, give concessions, smooth over hurt feelings, win or lose. Or else, we're harpies, bitches, battleaxes, harridans.

So, yes, it's not surprising that Hillary is expected to reach out to the very people who have slammed her reputation at every turn, who have accused her of being dishonest, even criminal, who have openly hoped for her to be criminally indicted for a faux scandal.

She's the front runner and will be the nominee. If the losers can't deal with that, so what? They deserve not appeasement but scorn.
