Gender

As a woman, I wanted to be on Hillary’s side throughout this campaign, but she constantly turns me off because she seems to be playing a game. Hillary strikes as a politician, the kind of politician who says all the right things, who puts down their opponent and focuses on their minor flaws and mistakes. I wish that Hillary would stop playing this game and be more real with people. I think in some ways Hillary is trying to compensate for her gender. She might feel that she needs to be as hard, detached, and strong as a male candidate or that she must play the men’s game in order to beat them. I just think she would do a lot better and win more support if she would just be herself: an intelligent, confident, capable, and articulate WOMAN.
