If all you've heard is the last three episodes and the (accurate) mild critique of the Clinton campaign's strategy isn't to your liking, I really don't think you're going to enjoy the content of this podcast.

Frost/Christman ep 2 was pretty good. Much more acceptable volume levels (hope they can keep it up without being in the same place!) and some interesting ideas for future episodes.

This is such an exaggeration of what was said though. The point was that the glass ceiling exists in large part because society normally gets away with a lot of misogyny, but the GOP has overplayed their hand with Clinton to such an extent that it became impossible for society to ignore the sexism it normally does. This doesn't minimize her or any other woman's struggle or take credit away from her, it's just pointing out that people being super obvious about their animus to the point where they forget to code it often supports the argument that said animus exists in the first place.

This was an interview with a woman whose book was explicitly about diminishing Hillary's feminist accomplishments. The goal of the piece is to take credit away from her. That's exactly what the statement "misogyny made Hillary's career" does.

quote:

I mean, would you take issue with saying that images of white southerners beating on peaceful black protesters helped advance the cause of the civil rights movement by forcing the broader public to confront the virulent racism it had previously been content to overlook? Would you be upset with someone saying that footage of police shootings has helped Black Lives Matter gain support and legitimacy?

No, I would have a problem with them saying black americans have benefitted from police brutality.

quote:

There's a reason Clinton's campaign has made a point of having her and her female surrogates continually bait Donald Trump. It's because they know that it helps her when he says outrageously sexist poo poo. I don't see what's controversial about this.

There's a big difference between "Hillary is good at confronting sexism and emerging victorious" and "Hillary benefitted from misogyny."

I'm not sure I'd characterize the assertion that Hillary is attempting to hijack the democratic party with a bunch of neocons to defeat the real liberals as a mild critique but I take your point.

Yes and therefore when democrats say "wow at least we're not as bad as those assholes" and prove it by passing an anti-racist, anti-misogynist agenda, they have actually accomplished something positive and noteworthy. People suggesting these statements and actions were just a smokescreen to resist full socialism now are either blinded by their privilege or by their need to grind that ideological ax.

It's pretty weird to suggest caring about welfare and mass incarceration are things only the privileged care about.

No, the book is explicitly a critique of the policies Clinton has supported and enacted from a feminist perspective. It is a collection of essays written by a bunch of feminists. I honestly don't know how you arrived at your characterization of it. There are good, legitimate reasons that a lot of people see Hillary as a feminist icon but that doesn't mean she's the ur-feminist and every policy she has ever supported becomes feminist by association. That's absurd.

Also, black americans have not benefited from police brutality, but the movement to end police violence against black Americans has clearly benefited from the most egregious examples of said violence becoming highly visible, which is the actual corollary to Hillary Clinton, since she's a politician trying to implement policy and not just some woman.

quote:

Nobody's saying she benefited from misogyny. We're saying she's benefited electorally from her opponents being such reprehensible assholes that their misogyny comes to define them. Even against Obama, she got a lot of positive, sympathetic press after he made his lovely comment about her being "likable enough." The fact that his comment made people feel for her obviously does not erase the fact that it was sexist and hurtful.

I agree that it's also true that she's very good at confronting sexism and emerging victorious because, again, you can believe two different ideas at the same time.

The one where women and people of color vote for democrats because they represent their interests as opposed to the one where they've all been tricked by crafty neoliberals.

So misgyny made her career, but that didn't benefit her? What?
