If Hillary Clinton slammed a table and stormed out of a meeting with congressional leaders, the major discussion in the press would revolve around the state of her mental health and if it constitutes a national security issue.
Men are allowed to be angry. Men are allowed to act like petulant children and still be taken seriously. Trump just manages to take that dynamic miles further than it’s ever been.
Hell, can you imagine if @AOC had slammed a table during a discussion with colleagues and stormed out of a meeting? Fox News would run coverage on that for days, if not weeks. Women, especially young women, especially women of color, are not freely extended the luxury of anger.
And Trump did this not because he was insulted or talked over or otherwise put upon. He behaved this way simply because a woman told him “no”. Sound familiar?
