lambasted by males for having the audacity to actually aspire to be President...as Mr. Ferdman puts it "since that moment in the 1990's when Hillary Clinton decided she would become President." Gee, Mr. Ferdman, how very uppity of her. So much for telling children in this country that anyone can grow up to be president. Of course, if you don't have a penis, that ambition will be held against you and used by political hacks to equate any dream you might have (to hold an office that only men have held for hundreds of years) as evidence that you are...what? Ambitious? Hardworking? A Dreamer? Want to lead and improve our country? Feel you could be a positive force for the USA? What a sexist double standard. Right up there with Ferdman's ridiculous mega-sentence about why it is ok to lie about a failed campaign and basically create his own "reality".
