Hillary in 2069. She brings her crap on herself. I don't tink that she is Domineering. Look at Bill. He does what he whats do do with whom he wants to do it with. She refuses to get out of an abusive relationship. In a crisis she would panic.

I wasn't actually talking about her politics - I was talking about the way she is treated in the media. It's OK to make "Bitch" jokes about her, but it's NOT ok to make black jokes about Obama. We have 'progressed' into a more 'PC world' where some topics are off limits because it it degrading to a segment of the population. The topic for discussion here is "Social Stigma of being a Dominant Woman". I am pointing at a prime example of how a woman is treated if she strives for a position of power. She is far more criticized than a man doing the same thing.

A point often lost on people with their own stigmas about how the world treats them.

As a man, call a woman "sweetie" or "hon" you'll get your head handed to you and you get the "YOU SAID WHAT????!!!!" look that can cut diamonds....I've been accused of everything but being the second gunman on the grassy knoll for doing just that...but go to a bar or a restaurant as a man, and that's ALL you get called by the women waitresses, because they think it endears you to them.

Go figure.

Actually, Obama just recently apologized for calling a female reporter "Sweetie". I happened to think that wasting the air time on television was one of the stupidest things I had seen all day.
