Hillary Clinton went back to the sexism well in a recent interview with New York magazine. In her Monday cover story, Clinton explained to NY mag’s Rebecca Traister that she frequently has supporters tell her they admire her accomplishments, yet will not vote for her because she is a woman.
“I really admire you, I really like you, I just don’t know if I can vote for a woman to be president,” Yahoo reports she told Traister.
“I mean, they come to my events and then they say that to me,” added the former secretary of state. “Unpacking this, understanding it, is for writers like you. I’m just trying to cope with it. Deal with it. Live through it.”
Clinton also added that it’s normal for men to fear that “[female] ambition will crowd out everything else — relationships, marriage, children, family, homemaking, all the other parts [of life] that are important to me and important to most women I know women.”
“I think it’s the competition. Like, if you do this, there won’t be room for some of us, and that’s not fair.”
