People need to start coming in terms with the fact that women are now sucessfully going after what they want and it's about time society deals with it.

Although it's true that a few men still just plain don't like ambition in women at all, that's relatively rare. The way it manifests itself usually, is that a woman IS obnoxiously ambitious, and she gets the most press. I think this is what's happening with Hillary. She's not obnoxious like Kathy Griffin, but in ways that would be a problem if she were a guy.

In our society, it's fine for a woman to be ambitious as long as she acts as the supportive wife. In other words, she pushes her husband along in his career and is content to live in his reflected glory. For some reason, many people have a problem with her ambition is she is doing it for herself. It's as if it's all right for her to push her husband or even children into careers even if those people might not really want them but there must be something wrong with her if she pushes herself.

The only example of a too-ambitious woman I can think of is Demi Moore's character in Disclosure. Hillary isn't too ambitious — she's ambitious enough for politics.

Double standard; the same as when an aggressive male is viewd as a great leader while a woman who is aggressive in the workplace is seen as a b***h.

After the feminist movement of the 60's and 70's woman were told they were the equal of men. It was there body etc
Traditional men viewed this with disdain. Married couples fought,divorce ensued,fractured families resulted and we are were we are today as a result. R.I.P. Ozzie& Harriet.
The liberal press only foster's this belief. If there is a woman's issue they look to the group NOW for answers.A radical lesbian man hating group with less than 100,000 members.There are 150,000,000 woman in this country!!! Do they speak for all of them?

Sexual double standards. Men who act this way are admired women who do this are considered shrews, selfish, and hated.

"Ambition" is against the female's nature. Hillary is against God and going straight to Hell.
