Are Power Pantsuits the Solution? (The Daily Beast 4/14/10)

Building 4112 · Moderator

Yea, I really like the way Michelle dress when gardening, and the $500 shoes she wore to a free food giveaway...........says it all.

Sanders · Diamond

That is petty and lame to focus on the clothing.

Now, if you want her to dress like a penguin and completely loose her femininity, I say no. I think she is striking a good balance. And, she is focused on her work..

So, Kate Betts, GET OVER IT! And if you want to compare, start comparing real work.

I for one am glad to see less articles about legs, calves, knees, elbows and wrinkles. More of MSM and left-wing has focused lately on her work as SOS and I would really like it to stay that way.

Sanders, some weeks ago I signed up with a group of women (Lady Rothschild?)
project to get more women in focus on bill boards, and in education, etc. It was
visual concepts for promoting women now, and in the pass. I have not heard from the group, and they might want to see this kind of article.

I can't find the group here, can you help? thanks

I don't understand why can't she dress however she wants. They need to get over the facination with hillary's clothes and defitnely not compare her to big belt wearing current first lady. They have decided to go the safe route with michelle so all anyone will care about her right now is what she's wearing and what fresh veggies she's feeding the kiddies today.

If not that group, please let me know with anything else you recall about it.

The New Agenda would also probably like to know of the article at the top of the thread.

BTW, Lady Lynn Rothschild is being honored (I believe on May 6th) by The New Agenda.

Well this Kate Betts is a regular rocket scientist, isn't she? With the very serious, world changing issues Hillary addresses daily, the best this woman can do is to criticize her clothes. GMAFB! Well, I guess she can't find any other flaws, so fashion will have to do. My guess is that as busy as Hillary is, fashion is the last thing on her mind - as is the case with many very intelligent, powerful women who are called upon to work non-stop. She does an excellent job, has an extremely high approval rating, and is focused on helping women the world over. She is dedicated to promoting women and women's rights - even for this author, who rather than thanking her or even just acknowledging the tirelessness and commitment with which Hillary does her job, has chosen to criticize her wardrobe?!?

In the words of the Church Lady, "Isn't that special?"

Freespirit - can you remember when they critized her for her "tears" in NH? It came from all angles, and when we said they were sexist, they denied it.

Oh, Building, How well I remember. I recall how outraged we all were. And, I swear, I can think about all of the sexist jokes and criticisms MSM made about A SITTING SENATOR and former first lady, running a serious campaign for the highest office in the land, and I get so angry I could spit nails. How dare they?! The small minded media hacks, who have done nothing greater than to write about what other people do, and THEY have the gall to attack this woman who has done so much to better the citizens of this country and the world?! Damn, I still can't believe all the crap that happened in 2008.

Building the name of the group is Equal Visability Everywhere. I love it. We do have them posted. One good thing about 2008 was the awaking of women. Groups like EVE and TNA are going to help us get into the White House.
I am sick of women and men talking about nothing but fashion when it comes to women. First of all NOT all women like fashion. I personally wear women's pants not baggy and sweats which is unisex. I also like men Hoodies.
I think comparing fashion sense is ridiculas. I don't give a damn about how MO dresses. Hillary wasn't the best dresser as First Lady but she was one hell of a First Lady.
I am starting to hate Hillary in the role of SOS I am disquested by our policy in Isreal. I want her to get out. I am still hoping she will use this as an excuse to run for Gov. of NY.

You're welcome! Yes, it is a good site. I showed it to my kid. :)

Definitely women need more visibility in all areas.

Visibility is one thing, endorsement is another. I would be very careful with endorsements to ensure they are qualified candidates. Hillary was and is a phenomenally accomplished woman who is fit for the top job. I do not see another close to her; not at present.

Yes, freespirit, no single person comes anywhere close to what Hillary has accomplished; yet the level of ridicule hurled at her was incredible.. and it still is. It's amazing how much she has done in her life and we are damned lucky.

Back to thinking about this article, I wonder if it is more acceptable to wear skirt and behave like men. I wonder if that makes women more acceptable to men. what if such a person did not have a pro-female position or has no history of working for women's issues? Would that make the person a feminist or someone who is accomplished woman to endorse? I doubt it. Yet, there are many out there who wear skirt and have no accomplishments to talk of that has anything to do with women but want all the women's votes and endorsements. What's worse, they have all benefited from the serious work of women like Hillary and have nothing positive to say about Hillary. When she does work hard in her own best interest, she is dissed. What for? Wearing color pantsuit? Being a loyal employee? What a joke! We can expect her to wear colored pantsuits and we can expect her to be a loyal person.

We should be lucky to get Hillary to run again. If not, we will enjoy her as long as we can in her public life before she moves into private/corporate life.
