Hillary Is Weirding Out Young Feminists
20th January 2016
I can certainly believe it. She certainly weirds me out.
It seems, however, that there is a group of “other voters” — i.e., ones not predisposed against Hillary — for whom the Clinton sex scandals have resonance. That group is young radical feminists.
For them, according to this report in the New York Times, what resonates is Hillary’s role in attacking women who spoke out against her husband’s behavior towards them. They tend, it seems, to agree with Donald Trump who says that Hillary “was not a victim; she was an enabler — some of these women have been destroyed, and Hillary worked with” her husband to accomplish their destruction.
For young feminists, this isn’t “old news.” Many of them are learning the details for the first time. And although one can say that to raise the matter now is to “relitigate” it (to use one of President Obama’s favorite dodges), the “litigation” occurs under a new set of rules.
