I don't think this even requires sexism on the part of individuals; it's built in to the way ambitious women are portrayed in our society, so if people aren't careful they'll uncritically absorb the sentiment regardless. Actually the main reason I feel compelled to point this type of thing out whenever I see it is that I myself had a vague dislike of Hillary (though nowhere near enough that I wouldn't have voted for her in the general) until around halfway through the 2016 primaries when I was challenged by a friend about what exactly she had done that was especially objectionable and came up empty. Insider trading? Calling people superpredators? Hillarycare? Insulting homemakers? Voting for the Iraq War? Getting paid $200k-250k per speech to give private speeches to Wall Street banks? Benghazi? Emails? Not supporting tax cuts for the poor? Carried interest? Obamacare? The list goes on and on and on. I mean, if you don't think any of those things, or anything else she's done, are reasons to dislike her, then yeah, you wouldn't have much reason to dislike her. And I guess you don't care about any of those things. But let's not pretend that people had no reason to dislike Hillary other than that she was ambitious. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:946470620] in Biden \| 40...
