The wisdom of Hillary Clinton’s strategy for dealing with
the repugnant sexists among us is to be expected. The woman has risen above
sexism throughout her public career, and she brings years of experience to
squelching attacks from Neanderthals in the media, government, and the public
at large. She sets a good example for women of all ages trying to find their
place in the world.
Sisterhood becomes even more powerful when we take a lesson
from Hillary:
As her book tour winds down and she considers whether she'll make another attempt to shatter the "highest, hardest glass ceiling," Hillary Clinton spoke with Glamour editor-in-chief Cindi Leive for the magazine's September issue.
When it comes to sexists, the former secretary of state has generally
maintained a policy of disengagement. Leive asked Clinton how she's
managed to smile through the often malicious gender-based criticism
she's received, especially during a time as tense as her 2008
presidential run. Clinton shared her "guidelines" for dealing with
sexist bullsh*t.
