Hey, Hillary: Smile, Girl; Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 3/16/16

Connie Schultz, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; Hey, Hillary: Smile, Girl:

"Fox News' Howard Kurtz tweeted: "Hillary shouting her speech. She has the floor; a more conversational tone might be better for connecting with folks at home."

Uh-oh.

Kurtz's follow-up tweet: "Getting attacked for saying Hillary shouted. Was not saying she was shrill. I've just heard her deliver more effective speeches."

This reminded me of another primary night — the one two weeks ago, when MSNBC cut away from Clinton's live victory speech so that three guys could talk about how she needs to speak more softly...

Some men hear what they want to hear, and too many men don't want to hear from women at all. This is an unhappy century for them, and it's only going to get worse. One grandmother barreling her way toward the presidency is bound to work up all kinds of other women who've had it up to here with the catcall mentality of men who measure our worth by our ability to make them feel better about their limited view of us.

"Where will it all end?" they wonder.

At the White House, I'd guess."
