Keli Goff: How Hillary Clinton is more secure than any other brave man

, Hillary Clinton, has been instrumental in his two decades on the national scene, most of us in two lives. Soon was the insinuation that it was a woman of truth, because he had the audacity to not stay home and “make biscuits”, as he put suddenly, and worse, do not be afraid of your choice. There were embarrassing rumors about her marriage, and even more embarrassing confirmation of some of them. See walk on the lawn of the White House with his family after the sad reality had finally emerged on the Monica Lewinsky scandal was easy to believe that ever faced a humiliating moment under the microscope of the media.

But we recently learned that it is not true.

Clinton last week, a woman who graduated from Wellesley and Yale, he worked in the Senate and as secretary of state, just an endless cycle of media coverage for not wearing makeup.

A Google search for “Hillary without makeup” is more than 3 million results. But a Google search for “Hilary (with one L) was without makeup” is more than $ 20 million. (Apparently, most of us can not mean the name of the Secretary correctly.) Throw in a search for “Hillary Clinton without make-up”, with over 2 million hits and over 25 million searches for Photos of a Secretary of State, without which, as a way to put your “Warpaint.” For a quick comparison, if you do a search for “Hillary Clinton (Iran)” would generate a little over 22 million results. No, I’m not kidding.

This means that about as many have tried in a few days to a photo of Secretary of State without his makeup, in their search for any information concerning the orientation on how to deal with the Iran since he joined the cabinet in 2009. Just think for a moment.

Why is the media and everyone else, so obsessed with makeup without Hillary?

For starters, the media always obsessed with how women look in the eyes of the public, in a way tha t never has been, and probably never will, with the men. Although Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton seem to have little in common beyond the ovaries, also with a history of being objectified by the media throughout his public life.

As Huffington Post noted on one occasion, “In 90 years of tracking Hillary Clinton’s hair was a national pastime” (and to test the presentation.) With a single search for “Hillary Clinton”, and “strip” yields over 200,000 results. I can only imagine the Internet black hole that was found to disappear when it actually was “Hillary Clinton Wears power.” Aside from the endless references to his clothes and his hair, there are countless references to his weight and body type. (Apparently, many “experts” for a long time he was convinced he had to dress to accentuate your positive physical attributes, while reducing the negative. Because, after all, must be one of the their major conce rns when dealing with a major diplomatic leaders of the world) who committed the cardinal sin of daring to use -. oh! – The tail of a horse has been compared to a Bond film. And no, I do not mean a Bond girl or antagonist. She met a man.

Meanwhile, Sarah Palin was relegated to the pinup fantasy right. Paper, some might argue that the mind is like, but the role of media in the perpetuation of less surprising. Conservative writer Rich Lowry notorious critics of his performances in the debate to learn more as a letter of admiration to the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, a review of the results legitimate. There were articles on longer hair, his glasses. And then, of course, there was no closet-door. When it was discovered that the Republican National Committee spent more than one hundred thousand dollars for a new wardrobe and makeup for Palin to “Welcome to the reconstruction of the national scene,” marked the moment when a turning point for the disastrous c ampaign of McCain and Palin. Only he should not have done.

Although the measure was clearly stupid policy, the callousness of tone deafness of the crack, and during an election in which the problem was the definition of the economic struggles of Americans who do not have six figures (and certainly never be able to spend so much for clothes), from a purely practical point of view of the campaign has done anything wrong. How do I know? Because I’m not on television or in photographs, almost as much as Palin was a week during the campaign, but you will be amazed to see the comments in the report I received from my appearance or clothing in a post that I write rape or contraception or something much more important than my dress.

The reality is that women are considered more severe. The McCain campaign knew it. Well prepared and accordingly have criticized anyway. (Speaking as Loehmann loyal to myself, yes, I’m sure you could find a cheaper clothes, but as a ny hunter knows the real deal, bargain-hunting takes time and time is the most valuable asset in a campaign. So is just like a personal shopper to fall from a hotel suite with lots of goodies and leave with a ticket of $ 150,000.)

When it comes to Palin and Clinton male colleagues, not “There is no comparison. Each year, the means to participate in its annual” What is the president of the chairman of the age? “analysis, which essentially counts the number of new hairs on President Obama’s’ has won his last years at work, but beyond that I have no idea what label fits President Obama is using, or that your links are. Really? In the same way, I have no idea who cut the hair, Newt Gingrich, but I know more about Calista Gingrich hairstyle I care because it was covered extensively during the GOP primary, as Michele Bachmann ‘do before he was fired .

In response to rumors about his appearance without makeup, Clinton appears the same cold that apparently makes it appropriate for her role as Secretary of State. Laugh of the controversy, said, “I am so relieved to be in the stadium are in my life right now … If I wear glasses I wear glasses. If I wear my hair I’m pulling back her hair back in a moment … is not just something that deserves a lot of time and attention. And if others want to worry them take the worry for a change. “

Only criticism is not laughing matter. Why tolerate criticism regarding our appearance – and how women are essential to direct the appearance of other women – are another way in which men cease to maintain the advantage, at work, on average, and yes, politics. For example, as critics noted, during Campaign 2008, Clinton and Palin had to wake up an hour earlier than their male counterparts just to get her hair and makeup done, to avoid the kind of news coverage of Clinton has suffered the last couple of days. I’ve heard from other women who have speculated that Hilary without makeup is less likely to be taken seriously as a white tip to Hillary, a feeling confirmed when I played with the idea of ​​going au natural on television, in solidarity. verdict of f riends interested? This would not be good for my career. That this remains a problem today reminds me of Ann Richards said. “Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did. Just a step and with high heels. “

And if she were in the apartment I’m sure your wardrobe would be criticized and their actions were not considered good enough.

The fact that Clinton has finally the confidence and courage to stop worrying about what critics have to say about her appearance puts her miles ahead of most of us, many of which have been caught out the trash without a touch spell, much less an officer of the company. also puts her miles ahead of most of their male colleagues. Therefore, for all its potential adversaries of 2016: You have been warned.
