..the problem began by you saying using the term "Billary" was sexist, when it's easily apparent that she's where she is because of getting her start via a marriage to Bill Clinton, the sine qua non of what "powerful man" means. Both of them, in fact, embrace the term. Or did, until this recent run for the WH ---where she now both wants to use him and to hide him all at once. And as someone from a long line of feminists, I resent "sexism" being shouted when in fact, it's nothing of the sort. Ill-deserved outrage hurts feminism.
By her own admission, she's an inept politician. In fact, it's well known that the health care effort that was "her baby" in the 90's failed because she alienated so many people in formulating it. And instead of having an ACA in the 90's we had to wait at least 16 more years. Certainly doesn't look like she'd have the trajectory she's on, purely through her own talents.
And it stands that her choice of job, after all that great ground breaking education, was in corporate law. Not environmental law. Not labor law. In fact, she soon became a board member at WalMart, where she voted for management over the workers.
Prejudice implies unconscious bias. I'm not prejudiced against her. I see her all too painfully clearly. I would no more point to her as a role model for my daughters than I would Margaret Thatcher. Because of her policies, which I'm not going to iterate here.
Have a nice day.
