To be a likable woman candidate just follow these simple rules: Don’t be old, don’t be young, don’t be middle aged, don’t be serious, don’t be funny, don’t be loud, don’t be quiet, smile more, don’t smile too much, don’t wear that, or that, here is a Handmaid’s costume.
Don’t be too pretty, nope not pretty enough, don’t be too fat, don’t be too thin, don’t be too ambitious, don’t be too reserved, don’t be too outgoing, don’t be too strong, now you’re coming off as weak, don’t dance, don’t swear, you’re not wearing THAT are you?
Don’t have children, children hurt your career, why don’t you have children? do you hate children? are you even a woman if you’re not a mother? don’t be single, don’t be divorced, your husband is going to influence your policy, don’t be stoic, my god you’re so emotional.
Don’t speak too loudly, you sound shrill, don’t speak too softly, no one will take you seriously, don’t dress frumpy, don’t dress sexy, that pantsuit is too masculine, that skirt is too feminine, don’t get Botox, don’t have wrinkles, are you serious with those shoes?
Don’t remind people too much of Hillary, don’t win the popular vote, don’t lose the popular vote, take a hike, lol that lady takes hikes, make me a sandwich.
