Hillary Clinton’s Woman-Bashing Is Why Women Find Feminism So Distasteful

Hillary, dressed to go out.

The Federalist
Hillary Clinton’s comments suggest so much that is wrong with today’s feminist movement: it’s both anti-male and anti-woman at the same time.

 . . . "Men Are Bad, Women Are Helpless
"Of course, the #MeToo campaign demonstrates that a lot of women feel they have been treated badly, perhaps more than some of us may have wanted to recognize. That shouldn’t be ignored. In fact, I urge more conservative feminists to publicly accept some of these problems and not overlook real grievances.
"But Clinton’s comments weren’t simply problematic because they cast men, once again, in a negative light. What was even more egregious but seemed to escape notice by some is that she also stripped women of any free will, a posture the modern feminist movement has increasingly adopted. Whether it’s a conversation about the so-called wage gap, the political gap between sexes, or sexual assault on college campuses, feminists more and more overlook how women make choices, and those decisions contribute to the realities of our society.
"It’s hard to argue that women in America today don’t have more choices than ever before. But progressive feminists like Clinton frequently rob them of their free will by putting the problem—and the power—in the hands of men. One doesn’t have to be a Trump supporter, or even voter, to be bothered by Clinton’s willingness to refashion women as objects of their husbands’ political leanings rather than free agents of their own."
