Is Hillary Clinton a victim of sexism?
Post the London Mayoral elections, C&N, etc, we now have a transatlantic version of a rather quaint new notion by those who don't like democratic results.
Instead of it being any failings of the candidates in question, the reasons are a weird mix of failings on the part of the electorate to know what's 'right', and being too dumb to understand that they are being hoodwinked by those who are 'wrong'. The solution being advocated by some is that only those (who, and by what measure?) entitled to have the 'right' opinions should be allowed to speak, and hence shape others' views 'correctly'.
It would be silly for me to say I have no interest in the next leadership of the USA, but as a Brit I at least can declare one, stand back and offer subjective opinion.
Mrs. C would not be my first choice by her actions and words, and those around her. Mis-speaking, catastrophic memory-loss and fantasist behaviour are not encouraging traits in a national leader.
