Hillary's gender bender

In the Telegraph, Toby Harnden tells us that women are deserting Hillary in droves and are swooning over Obama instead. Poor old Hillary has made a major miscalculation. She assumed that because she was a woman – and a feminist to boot – she could take the women’s vote for granted. Stuck in the seventies mindset, she failed to realise that today men are the new women. Obama is far more ‘feminine’ than she is. That’s because he does open, warm, hopeful, sunny and casual whereas she does rational, shifty, stern, finger-wagging and uptight. Having doubtless spent her entire life as a feminist trying to erase all signs of femininity in order to be taken as seriously as any man, she now sees her lifelong ambition about to go down the tubes because her male rival exhibits what are assumed to be womanly ‘virtues’ whereas she embodies male ‘vices’.

 

You’d have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.
