Now it’s sexist to call Hillary only by her first name

Article here. Excerpt:

'Forget Madonna, Marilyn, Liz and Oprah. While it may be a testament to those icons’ power and fame that they can be recognized simply by their first names, it’s apparently a sexist degradation to Hillary (does she still use “Rodham”?) Clinton to presume the same standard should apply to the former first lady.

Don’t let the fact fool you that there’s literally a “Ready for Hillary” PAC, either. The pros get to call this their way; the antis, not so much. If you don’t have anything nice to say about Hillary … Clinton … don’t say you weren’t warned if her supporters start calling out your overt sexism the next time you forget to use her full name.

“[S]ome Americans, mostly women, don’t think the former secretary of state, U.S. senator from New York and first lady should be called by just her first name,” McClatchy reported Tuesday in a story that made liberal use of the “some people say” journalistic device.'

... the reign of terror begins should she actually a) run and b) get elected. The McCarthyist-style persecution won't come from the Congress but instead the WH. Much worse. And, it won't be a paranoid anti-Communist but a paranoid feminist leading the charge. Oddly enough, the first victims of such loons tend to be chosen from within their ranks. (Eg: Hitler and his "purge" of the S.A., resulting in hundreds of summarily executed brownshirt leaders, followed of course by millions of executed, i.e., murdered, Jews, Romani, Poles, trade unionists, Catholics, homosexuals, political dissenters of all kinds, and tens of thousands of other enslaved and adjudged "inferior" peoples and POWs.)

As for just how her craziness will manifest remains to be seen, but I guarantee it won't be pretty. The Hildebeast's nature will be fully revealed should she get the Big Chair in the WH.

Just because it is in print, doesn't make it true. This is an example of bad journalism and a "fluff piece". The article referred to does not give any examples and fails to answer "who, what, where, when". For all we know the author may only know one person who thinks it is sexist to refer to former Senator Clinton by her first name or it may even be just the author's personal opinion. There is no evidence that "most women" feel this way.
