Hillary Clinton says she would govern differently than a man

Article here. Excerpt:
'In excerpts released Thursday, the Democratic presidential candidate suggested she believes women govern differently than men.
"I just think there are some areas where our own life experiences really prepare us to be more receptive," Clinton said. "I do think there is something in the governing or organizing approach. I just think women in general are better listeners, are more collegial, more open to new ideas and how to make things work in a way that looks for win-win outcomes."
...
Asked whether she has seen sexism change over the years, Clinton said it might be less pronounced but it's still "prevalent in our political scene."
"There still is a double standard, there's no doubt about that," she said. "I see it all the time where women are just expected to combine traits and qualities in a way that men are not. And it does make running for office for a woman a bigger challenge. It's hard for anybody, but I do think that women bear that extra burden."'

She is right -- there IS sexism in politics...
... and she has only to read her own quotations to see it!
Then would she govern like a woman?
If Hillary had said "I will govern like a woman," then AT LEAST I would respect her for pure, honest, simple, sexism, not tinged with misandry.
Of course, if she HAD said that, it would have then beckoned the question "How DOES a woman govern?" And then she would open herself up to honest criticism.
Instead, by phrasing it in the negative "NOT like a man," she does two things at once: 1) reverals her sexism and 2) engages in subtle and soft misandry (technically, two different things).
Essentially, she is saying that men do not goven well. The only issue, is that she is too afriad to say it honestly and directly. And that fear, to me, speaks of an inability to govern.
(If she had just admitted she thinks women are better, AT LEAST I would respect her for her honesty. She is disgusting.)
She'd govern like a feminist
That's the biggest problem with her.
not to worry
she is falling in the polls like rock. even faster than she did in her last outing against the other feminist candidate, barry the bungler.
