Hillary Takes on Sexist Question

HILLARY CLINTON 200910 x390 (getty) | Advocate.com
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took a moderator to task during a “
townterview” Thursday in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, for asking which designers'
clothing she likes to wear.
The Daily Intel reports that after a number of serious questions at the
panel with students and young professionals, the moderator, whose gender was
not clear from the transcript, decided to take a lighter approach and ask
questions that would “touch some personality of Hillary Clinton.”
Asked which designers she prefers, Secretary Clinton responded by saying, “
Would you ever ask a man that question?” to audience applause.
Moreover, the Daily Intel reports that Secretary Clinton had just moments
before advised a young female lawyer about how to deal with sexism during
the townterview
According to the transcript, Clinton said, "It requires, for a woman,
usually in today's world still, an extra amount of effort because I think it
's — the fact that women are still sometimes judged more critically. If you
are in the courtroom or you are presenting a case, it still is a fact —and
this is not just in Kyrgyzstan, this is everywhere — that when a man walks
into a courtroom it's rare for someone to say, 'Oh, look what he is wearing
."' [Laughter] But if you walk into a courtroom, or any young woman walks
into a courtroom, people are going to notice. And that will be an additional
requirement that you have to meet."
On Friday, Clinton announced that her service as secretary of State would be
her "last public position," putting to rest persistent rumors of another
presidential run. She said that she planned to turn to advocacy work on
behalf of the world's women and children. |
