The Anti-Feminist
Camille Paglia on Hillary Clinton:
"Whatever her official
feminist credo, Hillary's public career has glaringly been a subset to her
husband's success. Despite her reputation for brilliance, she failed the
Washington, DC bar exam. Thus her migration to Little Rock was not simply a
selfless drama for love; she was fleeing the capital where she had hoped to make
her mark ..... In Little Rock, every role that Hillary played was obtained via
her husband's influence - from her position at the Rose Law Firm to her seat on
the board of Wal-Mart to her advocacy for public education reform. In a pattern
that would continue after Bill became president, Hillary would draw attention by
expressing public "concern" for a problem, without ever being able to organise a
programme for reform ..... The argument, therefore, that Hillary's candidacy
marks the zenith of modern feminism is specious. Feminism is not well served by
her surrogates' constant tactic of attributing all opposition to her as a
function of entrenched sexism. Well into her second term as a US Senator,
Hillary lacks a single example of major legislative achievement. Her career has
consisted of fundraising, meet-and-greets and speeches around the world
expressing support for women's rights."
