“If you really want women to vote for Hillary, pick on her clothes and her tears. Call her strident. Call her bitchy. But if you take gender out of the equation, then women are going to weigh her other qualities on the same scale as the guys.”
The above does not sound to me like “the sisterhood sticking together no matter what,” it sounds to me like “demanding equal treatment” and entirely reasonable.
If the “sisterhood” sticks together when people call Clinton a corrupt nanny-state socialist with delusions of competence there’s something wrong.
But if the “sisterhood” sticks together when people go off on Clinton’s clothes, looks, or demeanor that’s a rational response to discourage unfair treatment of women for being women.
