The UnFeminist
I still fail to see why Clinton's defeat is somehow due to misogyny or feminism. Clinton has never been a feminist in as much as she always deferred to men as the path to power:
"In using her marriage – notably her eight years as first lady, which was often invoked as evidence that she would be “ready on day one” – as her launch pad, Mrs Clinton has more in common with the wives and daughters who inherited high office in dynasty-friendly regimes in south-east Asia and Latin America. It contrasts with leaders such as Angela Merkel and Margaret Thatcher, who were elected to run Group of Seven high-income countries under their own steam."
Clinton never had the conviction or courage to live her own life according to what she allegedly believes. No woman who dismissed the victims of sexual harassment because her husband abused them is a feminist.
