I visit Digg too!
This comment made me laugh so much. Digg is almost impossible to read when politics are going strong.
maybe i'm not the best guy to bring this up, but no-one else has.
i don't like the way hilary clinton is getting treated in all of this. it seems to me that a lot of people are just focusing on attacking her personally and the amount of times i see words like bitch, cunt and other gross sexist insults get thrown at her makes me think a lot of it is to do with her being a woman. she gets a lot of flack for not being likable or relatable, or whatever, but really she isn't any worse than many of the other male candidates have been. she's not anywhere near as charasmatic as obama is, but she isn't some cold fish up on the stage.
i don't think i'm stepping out of line saying that a lot of the stuff that is said about her, and there is a lot of it in this topic, comes from a cowardly hatred for an older woman who is trying to make a serious attempt at taking power.
I think they use the sexist insults because calling her DICKFACE doesn't really work so well. I really don't think it has anything to do with her being a woman, it has to do with her being a
really really fucking smug woman with a bad attitude. Ugh, the kind of smugness that radiates from her has nothing to do with being a woman, it has to do with that being her personality. I'm perfectly willing to just call her an asshole from now on if it enforces the fact that her being a woman isn't the issue.
