from a unpublished book The Incredible Modern Woman "by Marguerita
“The media is on eggshells about race, but has blinders on about sex and gender stereotyping”
“I’m not such a Mars-Venus person but this is one of those moments where gender is at least a partial explanation.“The hysterical insults flung at Hillary Clinton are just a franker, crazier version of the everyday insults — shrill, strident, angry, ranting, unattractive — that are flung at any vaguely liberal mildly feminist woman who shows a bit of spirit and independence,” she wrote, “who puts herself out in the public realm, who doesn’t fumble and look up coyly from underneath her hair and give her declarative sentences the cadence of a question.”
