Not liking Hillary has nothing to do with her being a woman. It has
everything to do with the hypermasculine values she espouses.
Hillary is that
rare combination, even in our grotesque political landscape, of a
smooth-talking neoliberal with the worst tendencies of a
warrior-neoconservative. You couldn’t say that about Bill to the same
extent, but there isn’t a regime change opportunity, a chemical or
conventional arms deal, an escalated aerial (or lately drone) war, or an
authoritarian friend in need, that Hillary hasn’t liked. If we get her,
we will only be setting back feminism by decades, because her
policies—like welfare “reform”—have always come packaged under the false rubric of caring for women and children.
It’s like George W. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism,” the rhetorical
cover she needs to enact policies, time after time, that erode women’s
and children’s standing even as she claims to be their steadfast
advocate.
