There are several western (and non western countries) with female leaders. Why are American white men so against HRC?
There has been much said about the Commander in Chief forum, and how HRC never smiled. The white male Repubs made a point about that. If she had been a man, I highly doubt they would've said anything about it. I'm not a huge HRC supporter (I'm actually a former Republican), but I don't understand why American white males are sexist in this regard. I know, I know.. she's crooked, unfit, blah blah blah.. but honestly, the same argument can be used against Trump. So, is it because they are sexist? Would they, could they even admit it to themselves? |

| Are they? I haven't heard this from anyone. If anything it's other women who have said this. |

Who says they're against her because she's a woman? Maybe they don't like a lying, conniving, corrupt, ethically bankrupt PERSON as president, and have decided she is worse than Trump. No good choices in this election.
Just like everything isn't about race, not everything is about gender. |

| Why do you generalize? Plenty of white American males are not afraid of a female president. |

Given that a huge majority of white men are voting for Trump, I don't think this is a generalization. |

OP here. But like I said, same can be said about Trump. He is just as morally bankrupt, hypocritical, conniving, and a liar as much as she is. Is that it's ok for a man to be like this because it shows he's tough, but if a woman has these traits, she's just a bad person? |

OP here.. like I said, would these men ever admit it out loud, or even to themselves? |

| Most White males I know are voting for Clinton so your statement is a non-issue. |

why? He's just as bad as she is. Why is it that he can say horrible things, but if she does it shows she's heartless? The crap he said about the Gold Star family was pretty heartless, too, no? But his supporters backed him. If she had said anything of that sort, she would've skewered. Oh, wait, she was skewered for stating that Ms. Smith didn't remember it the same way she did, and that wasn't even close to an insult as what Trump stated about the Gold Star family he insulted. |

But you don't know most white men in this country, and the polls are backing up my statement that most white men are voting for Trump. |

| I don't know why. But they truly are. Men hate a "bitch" - and they've put her in this corner. Even my own husband! He voted for Obama, if Biden was running he would vote for him...so why not HRC?? They all have similar policies. It's bc she's a female, I think. |
