Why Do People Hate Hillary Clinton So Much

Marianne Cooper, a sociologist at Stanford’s Clayman Institute for Gender Research and the lead researcher on Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, says that women who are successful in areas that are culturally coded as male are typically seen as “abrasive, conniving, not trustworthy, and selfish.”

What’s happening to Clinton, says Cooper, “happens to a lot of women. There are millions of people who will say about another woman: She’s really good at her job, I just don’t like her. They think they’re making an objective evaluation, but when we look at the broader analysis, there is a pattern to the bias.”

Here we go again. Women don't need this happy horsehyte to demand and receive respect. I have known plenty of women who were true leaders , who commanded respect from men and women alike , and didn't need any excuse for it. They were respected because anyone could see they deserved respect. These are things one earns, and as such, do not need some condescending nonsense in order to be attained.
