  • Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"

    I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

  • The Spite Vote

    I enjoyed your article and found many points you made to be right on the money. In particular, I find the attitude of disgruntled Clinton supporters who say they won't vote for Obama to be ridiculous and thick with irony. Their displaced anger and willingness to cut off their nose to spite their face in the name of battling sexism is laughable. ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • Recycling your drivel

    Recycling your drivel would not produce alternative energy, just toxic waste. I would add it was a combination of Sexism, Ageism, and billionaire boob George Soros that did Hillary Clinton in, plus all the panderers in love with Soros' money but pretended it was about something ...

  • Hitchens and Women

    It's ironic that Hitchens, who penned ''Women Aren't Funny'' appointed himself a pundit on the topic of when misogyny doesn't exist. Hello! Hitchens? The fact that mosquitoes don't bite you does not prove they're mythical! You're hardly in a position to discuss the topic of sexism (or lack of same) with any authority at all. That said, although ...

  • This wasn't sexism, it was Hillaryism

    I am staggered by the writing of some women these days. Hillary was WRONGED? They TOOK it away from her? Worse, they STOLE it from her? And, my very, very favorite, it was SEXISM. None of that is true, ladies. Let's look at the sexism in this campaign for one moment. (As an aside, I am a 52-year-old white Mother, and have seen plenty of ...

  • Hillary as Feminist?

    Although I am the same age as Hillary Clinton, I am as disappointed as Meghan O'Rourke in Hillary as a female candidate. Feminism frees both men and women to be authentic. It liberates us from the tyranny of roles, frees us from chasing the reaction of the peanut gallery-- but we must take responsibility for our choices, and not try to whine our ...

  • Best exegesis of the Clinton campaign I've ever read...

    Thank you for this clever, knowledgeable, and hopeful analysis of the Clinton campaign. As an educated woman, I struggled with my support of Hillary Clinton because of her ambivalent feminism. To my mind, she embodies the gender problem of our age: women are liberated - free to be ''just like men.'' There's a difference between a strong woman ...

  • How about actually seeing the movie???

    The author writes ''Or so I've gleaned from watching a few episodes of the TV show and reading reviews of the film.'' What makes this guy qualified to write this article?? He hasn't even seen the movie or more than a few episodes.... A surprisingly familiar case of an unprepared man being deemed qualified by the media to espouse his point of ...
