Why do some females hate Hillary Clinton?

Question

First off, I like Obama, so it's not like I'm a big Hillary supporter.

And, I get that many males are threatened by a strong female leader with (God forbid!) ideas of her own. But, what did Hillary do personally that upset women?

Is it she doesn't bake cookies? She is not feminine enough? She stood by Bill after he cheated? What is it?

Two things to keep in mind...
I asked why "some" women HATE her. I did not use encompassing language. And, I also did not phrase it as if I expect all women to like her just because she's a woman. But, there have been some enlightening answers as to why there are some women who are so troubled by her.

Answer 1

Not this girl.......GO HILL!

Go ahead, give me lots of thumbs down, I can take it!

Answer 2

Same reason males hate Hillary-they don't like her or her politics or both. Females use the same reasons men do to hate her, there are plenty of conservative US women who still vote. It's unfair to say she should have left Bill, since she couldn't have made it in conservative America as a divorcee, but since when are Americans fair?

Answer 3

I keep reading comments about how she is unqualified and will bankrupt the country with her healthcare proposal. However, I would like to ask these people if they believe that she is less qualified than what we have right now. We have someone who only got into elite universities as a result of his family connections, not because he was a brilliant student. We also have someone who ran four businesses straight into the ground. How is Hillary any less qualified than that? Also, she can't possibly bankrupt the country with her healthcare plan because the country is already bankrupt. Our current administration keeps on throwing money into an occupation of another country that is completely unwinnable and has no end in sight. How do you "win" another country's civil war? We couldn't do it in Vietnam or Korea so why would it happen now?

Answer 4

Hillard couldn't have won either way regarding Bill's cheating. If she had left him and been the first White House couple to divorce while in office the conservatives would have roasted her for that just as they have about her "standing by her man" and working through the infidelities.

I don't dislike Hillary so I can't answer your question. I think she's tough, smart, ambitious, compassionate, politically savvy, a hard worker and if not for her connection with Bill's baggage I think she would also be electable.

Answer 5

Some women dislike her because, as Canadian women told Maureen McTeer, "If you have it all, people will wonder why we can't."

Answer 6

I think some women (and men) feel that she should have left her cheating husband, and when she did not those women and men couldn't help but wonder if the reason she stayed was one of political expediency.

And if that is the reason she stayed, I'm not sure I like her all that much either...

Answer 7

Well, maybe they are smarter than even you give them the credit for. And I don't think, in most cases, that the females that are critical of her feel threatened by her.

Hillary is a proven crook, doesn't think well on her feet, and appears to have never observed a past, current or proposed spending program she didn't/doesn't like.

And she married a philandering craphead that has likely bumped off more people than Al Capone.

I don't have a problem with a female becoming president. But I certainly don't believe she is the best choice

Answer 8

Hillary is not a strong female leader. She is a shrill power hungry socialist without a moral center. She has a strong political machine assembled with Bill. There are plenty of women that I could respect as a leader. She has accomplished almost nothing on her own and wants to ride the coat tails of her philandering sociopathic husband. Her attempt at taking over health care in secret as first lady was a major fiasco. Why would any female (or male) like her??

Answer 9

I don't know or care if she bakes cookies or not. I just don't agree with her politics. I would like to see a woman get elected. Just a better one than her.

Answer 10

I personally don't like Hillary because of how she conducted herself in the wake of the Clinton/Lewinsky sex scandal. For ANY woman to claim that she didn't have the slightest inkling that her husband was as unfaithful as Bill was... she's either the biggest liar in the world, or entirely too stupid for ME to trust her with the big red button. I don't admire or pity her for sticking with Bill... Bill is little more than a means to an end for her and it is completely obvious that their relationship is not based on love and intimacy but on politics and business.

On a political level, I think she's lacking interpersonal skills, she has absolutely no charisma, she's forcing everything about her personality, she never directly answers a question, never owns up to her own mistakes (But Obama sure as hell did when he admitted to snorting coke), is power hungry, greedy, and neo-communist in her leanings and her political goals are makeshift band-aids on the real socio-economic problems of our nation at best. They won't change a damn thing in the long term.

No... in 08, I'll be on the Obama bandwagon too.

Answer 11

I really don't know why people have such a reaction to her. Personally, I'm indifferent. I'll vote for whatever democrat gets the nomination; however, Hillary isn't my first choice. I think she's too hawkish for me, but she seems completely brilliant. Oh well.
