“The Trump Effect”—And How It’s Affecting Me

Men Also Offended by Trump’s Vulgarity

Hillary Clinton and the Politics of Motherhood
Paula Fass: Drawing on older traditions, through which women influenced public affairs, Clinton spoke to ideals of protection for families and social inclusion. Clinton and her campaign hope to make these ideals just as appealing today.

Charles Hayes: The often-heard declaration that anyone would be better as president than Hillary Clinton is so steeped in the ethos of misogyny that to deny this reality is blatantly hypocritical. It’s equivalent to saying anyone would better than a neurosurgeon to operate on your brain.
