Discussion»Questions»Current Events and News» Speaking of Anita Hill and the Me 2 movement...do you notice no bullies ever mess with women of POWER? They prey on the helpless. ALways.
That is the way of bullies whether they are attacking women or those men they consider weak. Trump tried it with Pelosi on TV and she pinned his ears back and never even raised her voice.
If Hillary Clinton would have conducted herself more like this than her shouting louder at Trump, we may have seen his ears pinned back during the campaign. I agree, Nancy speaks softly and carries a HUGE stick. Hillary could have done that with her political answers in a debate, but she took the hysteria route.
One of Hillary's biggest mistakes, in my opinion, was in the debate when Trump kept shadowing her. She just went on as though he wasn't there instead of turning around and asking him if he would prefer to stand where she was standing. I understand why she tried to keep her cool, but in that case, I would have given him some sass.
She was acting so stupid in that debate. I mean she should have just stopped and laughed at him and called him out for trying to intimidate her. Why didn't she ask him a question? Dare him to answer a question he has no idea what the answer is.
But... she didn't. She made an ass of herself by trying to pretend. And it showed. This is how we need to play the game now. Theatrics. And how to respond to them. Devolving.

That was really weird and creepy for sure, when he did that. So were his words at a rally, after Hillary was seconds late coming back from a break during a debate: "'I know where she went -- it's disgusting, I don't want to talk about it,' Trump said, screwing up his face, as the crowd laughed and cheered. 'No, it's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting.'"

Nonsense. Of course they do if there is something to be gained from it. Repelling abuse is not a matter of power but rather of refusing to play their game. If we don't play then their is nothing to be gained by their playing it. Trying to "outpower" them only involves us more deeply.
