One thing I would like to hear Hillary say tonite (please join me)

I would like for her to acknowledge that tomorrow morning she fully expects to hear a critique of her clothes, her makeup, and her voice.

My reason is that I think by acknowledging that this is what will happen that she will stop it from happening without explicitly calling out the sexism of it. I hope it will shame the media.

Is the victim card like the woman card? Or what was that mocking atrocity I read about, a "deceased woman card"--I heard someone suggested even a Kickstarter to get that excrement produced.

Gross.
