If that is true, it may be she is that way due to being in the forefront of equal rights for women when if a woman wanted to make it in a man's world, she had to fight dirt with dirt to get ahead. If that is so, we all owe her a debt for getting to where she is and I do salute her for that. It's a shame that young women take so much for granted and haven't a clue what women before them have gone through to earn them their place in society. I remember not getting hired because I might get pregnant. I also remember not being able to get birth control without my parent's permission until I was married at 17 and had my 19 year old husband's permission! There are many more instances like that that young women just don't encounter any more. Whether I want Senator Clinton in as president or not, I do admire her for her drive, ambition, and assertiveness.

In a way, she can't win for trying. If she didn't fight dirty, they'd ridicule her for being too nice, for being a pollyanna, all sweetness and light, as if those are bad attributes. But, when she fights them the way they fight, she gets knocked down for that. IF she were a man, they'd think business as usual.
