You would think that the women in this country would be proud that a woman has made it to a point where she can be elected for president. I just don't understand the hate for her.

Republican or not. I don't understand why a woman would not support another woman. Look at what the women of our past went through to get our right to vote. It's more of a movement issue than Dem or Rep.

I'm not experiencing that where I live, but I know that some women, especially younger ones, have a problem about her staying with Bill after he cheated on her. They say it makes her look weak. Their youth is part of the problem. Wait until they're older and they have the experience of seeing friends and family deal with the pain of infidelity. It takes more strength to stay, work, and save a marriage does it does to pick up the phone and call a divorce attorney. I don't think many of them have a clue about real strength or what it takes to make a marriage work.
Some women are just harder on other women than they are on men. But overall, most women I have talked to are positive about Hillary Clinton. I've been surprised at the number of men I know who intend to vote for her also. And I live in an area that is largely Republican.
A lot of the hate you see on here is from the whole Hillary Hate Brigade. They flock to questions about her to leave their inane mutterings about socialism or just a general hate that seems to have no logical base to it. Most of them are Republicans who are scared to death she can actually do it. Some of them are just buying into the whole "a woman can't be President" thing. Nonetheless, her numbers continue to be strong, and she has a lot of support. I'll be very surprised if she doesn't end up with the nomination.

I think that Hillary does enjoy a lot of support from women voters. The support, of course, is not universal because women voters are diverse in their political beliefs. I am a Democrat, and although I am proud that a woman is for the first time a likely Democratic presidential nominee, at this point I have not committed to any of the candidates.
My main concern is that a Democrat be elected president. I feel that the Republicans have done so much damage in the last eight years, in carrying on this war with Iraq, in putting forward policies which have been injurious to the environment, in appointing anti-choice justices to the US Supreme Court, etc., etc. Therefore I intend to support whichever Democratic candidate looks like he or she will have the best shot at getting elected.
Of course, right now it looks like Bush is so unpopular that whichever Democrat gets nominated will be a shoo-in, but unfortunately, Democrats have a long history of shooting ourselves in the foot.

This is simple, women feminist played a huge role in development of women rights but now have made it an extreme. If a woman wants to stay home and raise her kids she's looked down upon. Hillary is a far-left liberal, which translates to; Let's allow a man dressed as a woman teach elementary school. Let's have woman on woman flaunt themselves around kids. Most of all lets make big government be our God.
The beliefs of the liberal left (Pelosism), don't sit well with law abiding, moral based Christians (over 80% of America). People see this view as an attack on our country, its values and its people (most of our laws and constitution are deeply rooted in Christianity). I know this may be a little harsh for words but it points to the truth of the matter. She's a wild-eye liberal and her ambassador would be sent on a mission as "roaming ambassador to the world."
Do we really want an adulteress, womanizer to represent us to the world? If you want a woman to run, think Condoleeza Rice, ten times smart, stronger and not a liberal.
Hope other have a better answer but that's what I've noticed.

This is a difficult and interesting question. I am a democrat and in many ways would love to see a woman President. However, Hillary seems like an opportunist...it seems like she HAS to run for the office because so many people have set her up for that position, including herself. Her passion and enthusiasm seem forced, unlike charismatic Senator Obama. She also switches her rhetoric to suit her political goals at the current moment, which leads to some confusion. Would she be a good President? Probably...but her abrasive personality will lead to overall unelectability...women are pretty good at spotting fakes unlike men :)

I agree 100% with Elway. We must think alike. Anyway, you can't go by the so-called women that say they hate her in YA, because they're probably not women at all. Many of them are just kids, and others are probably male trolls in diguise. Go by the polls results, that's closer to reality!

1. She made all those remarks against women who actually enjoyed being stay-at-home moms back when his, I mean, her husband was president.
2. Being a woman who is going to run for president does not mean she will be a good president. I would not vote for a woman simply on the basis that she is a woman. As it stands, Hilary is running on a platform that I do not support... I am completely against the Democrat foreign affairs agenda.
3. Her inability to stand against her own husband's womanizing tendencies (infidelities) does not promote confidence in her ability to stand up against threats to America from within or without its borders.
Now, Condoleeza Rice? I have confidence in her ability to be president. Too bad she isn't running.
**EDIT**
If it's ONLY about the fact that she is a woman, and not whether she's a Dem or a Repub, then PLEASE. I beg of you, vote for ME! I, too, am a woman. And I sure as hell could use that presidential paycheck!

merely inquire from me. i'm a woman, and a lesbian at that...merely the form of guy or woman the Dems are concentrated on. No way would I vote for Mrs. Clinton, and that i even abdomen the thought-approximately balloting for a Democrat.

Well if you think women are united like the blacks in the USA you are forgetting that women tend to have some brains and can think for themselves; unfortunately the blacks in the United States have demonstrated otherwise through their protests of the trivial matters. After all, young women are getting degrees more than their male counterparts. The only reason why the women in 1970's united is so they can be absolutely counterproductive and then sue for sexism. So most women see all Hillary is running on is the coattails of her husband. To those who say Hillary was the brain when Bill was running things defeat all praise to Bill. So in general she has a lot of enemies, and I think the Democrats are going to lose the election should she be the presidential nomination.

The general comment I hear is about trust, and respect and honesty and an egotistic power trip,,,,,,,,,you know stuff they do not like, trust or respect.
By the way, Hill is tanking in the polls.
