I figured out why I don't like Hillary.

This has been bothering me because I am a real supporter of women. But I just haven't ever taken to Hillary. Now part of that is because I live in the Midwest and I haven't had much of an opportunity to even hear what Hillary is about. She never seems to be where I am listening - like on Lehrer in the evenings.

But here it is and I am probably going to just get killed for this - but at least I am aware of why I feel the way I do.

I have been unfortunate enough to have worked for some really awful women. Its almost like they took everything good about women and threw it in the trash. And then took the very worst traits of business people and made them their personalities. I can't really explain that. But simply getting rid of anyone who is not completely insinc with you is really not a healthy way to manage. And the getting rid of seems to always be by subterfuge. If you have ever run into this you will recognize what I'm saying immediately.

That said - there are some really bad men managers out there, too. But the awful women managers I've run into have affected me a lot more than the men.

And Hillary reminds me of those women. And I can't seem to get beyond that. And I don't think I'm even giving her a fair shake.
