Hating Hillary

February 6th, 2008 Comments Off

Frank writes on Listics: “Stanley Fish fishes around the Jason Horowitz article in GQ, but neither man can quite bring himself to call the Hillary hating what it is. Jason? Stanley? It’s MISOGYNY … I am puzzled about how the topic of “hating Hillary Clinton” could be addressed without either writer (or their editors) making a single call-out regarding the misogyny and sexism that underlie so much of the vituperative ad feminam critiques.”

Way to go, Frank! And here I thought the only man who could really “get” what it’s like, being on the receiving end, would have to be black.

Like Chuck D, who elaborates so well on John Lennon’s somewhat prescient, “Women are the niggers of the world.”

Yessah boss, we is. We’s mighty careful what we do, where we go, how we talk.

Remember, however low a man, there is always some one lower than he. Whom, as he wishes, he may treat like dirt, ignore like dirt, take for granted like the dirt beneath his feet.

If Hillary is elected, this will be more interesting than Obama drawing racists out of the woodwork—they already been drawn. But the weird silence of men on the ugliness of misogyny, the horror feminae … know any guy who speaks up on that?

Besides Frank?
