girl fight
I can't believe I am about to defend a woman being catty -- especially when it involves Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue Magazine.
From Ms Wintour's latest editorial in Vogue, quoted in a Los Angeles Times Blog:
"The notion that a contemporary woman must look mannish in order to be taken seriously as a seeker of power is frankly dismaying. How has our country come to this? ... This is America, not Saudi Arabia."
The Los Angeles Times blogger misses the point with this:
Precisely, Anna. Right on. Just because you're chapped off that Clinton backed out on your recent Vogue cover, you go and make some silly, snitty statement that plays right into the right wing's criticism of our first female presidential candidate.
Hillary Clinton IS mannish. You don't have to be a member of the vast right wing conspiracy to admit that. I have friends on the far left who agree. But, btw, I'm glad to know where Monica Corcoran's politics fall.
And Anna Wintour had every right to make such comments -- EXACTLY because Hillary decided not to pose for the Vogue cover.
Hillary changed her mind because she didn't want to appear too soft, Hillary was terrified of losing votes for appearing glamorous (through the magic of photoshop) and losing all those votes from the unfashionable po folks she claims to represent.
March on, Hillary Clinton's penis. Keep a stiff upper lip.

With Huma Abedin around, I doubt that will be a problem.
