just because, for a change, the other people running actually got tough with her.
"In so many ways, this all women's college prepared me to compete in the all boys club of presidential politics," the former first lady told hundreds of students.
"We need to shatter that highest glass ceiling," added Clinton, who is trying to become the first woman president. "We can make history."
As she sought to mobilize student voters with a nationwide campaign, her words alluded to the pummeling she took on Tuesday night against six male candidates at the Democratic debate in Philadelphia.
She's trying to look like the female outsider and appeal to women, particularly those who have experience trying to crash the glass ceiling in business, to vote for her. I myself absolutely agree that there is a glass ceiling and that women need to figure out tactically how to overcome it IF they want to be seen and paid just like men in high-powered positions. But I don't agree that trying to compare being actually asked questions that she needs to answer, truthfully and with her position clearly stated, is an attempt on the part of the men (yes, Men. Not Boys) that are running for president. And it's simply not fair to try to convolute the two.
Look. Any person, whether male, female, black, white, hispanic, in order to take on the presidency, needs to be able to withstand criticism, questions about policy and positions, and not resort to hiding behind a skirt excuse, so to speak. What if Obama said "Hey, You're all Ganging Up on Me Because I'm Black!" just because he got asked a question he couldn't quite answer. In the same way it is wrong for Clinton to use the Female card.
