If Donald Trump were a woman...

I'm sure he would still be considered a racist. As to hair, or at least appearance, there have been any number of comments on Clinton's appearance, so why not?

If he were a woman people would be much tougher on him for his lack of intelligence. He'd basically be Sarah Palin.

Maybee....

I think if he were a woman we would be much less tough on him in matters of integrity. Issues of corruption in his previous positions, for example, would be glossed over as just politically motivated attacks.

You're not suggesting Clinton has gotten a pass on integrity issues, are you?

Among liberals? Absolutely I am suggesting Clinton gets a pass.

Well, if you specify liberals only, you are right.

I'm not so sure about that. Hillary lost credibility and trustworthiness. I think she lost a lot even among liberals.

I think there is much truth in the following article.

I have to disagree, maybe because I feel more sympathetic to women under fire.

Many of Clinton's "scandals", in my opinion, just aren't.

1. She insulted some Trump supporters and suddenly it's the issue of the campaign. Meanwhile, when a guy refers to Mexicans as murderers and rapists, and never really apologizes for his remark, it fades into the background.

2. She got sick. Big deal! I flirt with pneumonia 3 times a year. (I haven't gotten it in 10 years, but I flirt with it.)

3. She lies sometimes. Well, guess what, she's in politics.

4. Worried about her emails? Listen to what bobsal has repeatedly said about Bush and his lost emails, and how it was a non-story then.

So that's Clinton, let's move on to how we treat another woman, Michelle Bachman, someone whose views I find, well, deplorable. I think she, too, gets treated unfairly.

When she was running in the primaries in 2012, many people posted ugly pictures of her. Many others decided to focus on the power dynamic of her private relationship to her husband. There, too, you had cheap shots based on nothing. Scandals that really weren't.

I like your summary, because I happen to agree.

Somehow, his facial expressions when he makes offensive remarks does remind me of a woman. Hooey...

That's not a woman it's a duck.

MR not ducks.

I am sure most of you know this is intended as a counter to the "If Hillary Clinton was a man..." thread. But this is my point, there is more sympathy for women under fire.

Hillary Clinton's biggest weakness is her integrity. This runs against typical gender stereotypes because studies show that women are considered more honest and trustworthy than men by most Americans. And the most damaging attacks against her will be those that target her integrity.

Are these fair? I think so. McCain was attacked for his integrity based on the Keating Five (where he was cleared after an investigation) and his marital history (which is hardly relevant).

Her mishandling of her health issues will be rolled into general attacks on her integrity (and other candidates have been questioned based on health issues). I think it is a stretch to say that this is anything different than the attacks that male candidates face.

Question for anyone who chooses to answer...

Hypothetically speaking... if George W. Bush could run again and was running again, would you consider his missing White House emails a valid attack against him as part of a political campaign?

I think so.

So? Women can't be racist?! That's the most bizarre assumption I've read on a2k (and we have a lot of posters suffering from schizophrenic disorders posting/touting some of the scariest conspiracy theories online).

All sorts of people, no matter their gender, their ethnicity, their religion, etc... can be racist.

Max gets a bit hysterical re women's rights. It's all rather pathetic.

Since his platform is to "make America great again," he might be considered a good potential Commander In Chief that would not be considered namby pamby by enemies. Possibly a Protestant Joan of Arc?

I think the many cartoons on Trump's hair speaks for itself.
