Hillary: Women Were More Susceptible to Believing Unproven Rumors About Me

MUSCATINE Let s talk ░░░░░░░░ women for a second ░░░░░░░░ we both care about ░░░░░░░░ and I think most ░░░░░░░░ here do Just getting ░░░░░░░░ to The Handmaid s ░░░░░░░░ the other big subtext ░░░░░░░░ The Handmaid s Tale ░░░░░░░░ how women treat other ░░░░░░░░ especially women with power ░░░░░░░░ who don t have ░░░░░░░░ women who have been ░░░░░░░░ It can be very ░░░░░░░░ the way women treat ░░░░░░░░ women You ve experiences ░░░░░░░░ little bit of that ░░░░░░░░ obviously Hillary I m ░░░░░░░░ you asked about this ░░░░░░░░ write about this and ░░░░░░░░ will start with a ░░░░░░░░ I had shortly before ░░░░░░░░ that I was going ░░░░░░░░ run It was with ░░░░░░░░ Sandberg someone I have ░░░░░░░░ for a long time ░░░░░░░░ really appreciate the work ░░░░░░░░ she has done with ░░░░░░░░ On with the research ░░░░░░░░ with professors at Stanford ░░░░░░░░ the University of Pennsylvania ░░░░░░░░ facts and evidence about ░░░░░░░░ actually happens in women ░░░░░░░░ lives how we are ░░░░░░░░ how we perceive ourselves ░░░░░░░░ said she wished that ░░░░░░░░ who read Lean On ░░░░░░░░ what she thought was ░░░░░░░░ of the major takeaways ░░░░░░░░ that book which was ░░░░░░░░ the more professionally successful ░░░░░░░░ man becomes he becomes ░░░░░░░░ likable And you know ░░░░░░░░ s coming The more ░░░░░░░░ successful a woman becomes ░░░░░░░░ becomes less likable You ░░░░░░░░ our stereotypes our presumptions ░░░░░░░░ what is appropriate and ░░░░░░░░ appropriate are just so ░░░░░░░░ I mean they are ░░░░░░░░ in our DNA They ░░░░░░░░ back millennia So you ░░░░░░░░ to yourself Okay if ░░░░░░░░ is the case then ░░░░░░░░ can we do about ░░░░░░░░ The second point she ░░░░░░░░ equally provocative is that ░░░░░░░░ are viewed much more ░░░░░░░░ when they are in ░░░░░░░░ to someone else I ░░░░░░░░ in service to our ░░░░░░░░ and service to President ░░░░░░░░ as a member of ░░░░░░░░ cabinet in his first ░░░░░░░░ I left the State ░░░░░░░░ with a 69 percent ░░░░░░░░ rating People thought I ░░░░░░░░ doing a good job ░░░░░░░░ I was doing a ░░░░░░░░ job because they could ░░░░░░░░ me standing up for ░░░░░░░░ country standing beside the ░░░░░░░░ trying to solve problems ░░░░░░░░ what was fascinating to ░░░░░░░░ it was really horrifying ░░░░░░░░ fascinating was how effective ░░░░░░░░ was to just begin ░░░░░░░░ knock that down and ░░░░░░░░ get to the point ░░░░░░░░ Oh gosh we do ░░░░░░░░ know what to think ░░░░░░░░ her Sheryl made this ░░░░░░░░ clear She said if ░░░░░░░░ are in service to ░░░░░░░░ else you are viewed ░░░░░░░░ So in the workplace ░░░░░░░░ you go to your ░░░░░░░░ and say I really ░░░░░░░░ Lissa should get a ░░░░░░░░ she has been working ░░░░░░░░ hard you get points ░░░░░░░░ you are viewed as ░░░░░░░░ who is a real ░░░░░░░░ player looking out for ░░░░░░░░ colleagues If you go ░░░░░░░░ say I have been ░░░░░░░░ really hard and I ░░░░░░░░ like to be considered ░░░░░░░░ a raise if you ░░░░░░░░ a woman it is ░░░░░░░░ against you if you ░░░░░░░░ a man it is ░░░░░░░░ These are just attitudes ░░░░░░░░ are deeply embedded in ░░░░░░░░ we see women in ░░░░░░░░ public arena I won ░░░░░░░░ women s vote but ░░░░░░░░ lost the white women ░░░░░░░░ vote I got more ░░░░░░░░ women s votes however ░░░░░░░░ President Obama got in ░░░░░░░░ So the problem is ░░░░░░░░ that Democratic nominees have ░░░░░░░░ contend with have to ░░░░░░░░ out how to communicate ░░░░░░░░ through better Now I ░░░░░░░░ believe that I was ░░░░░░░░ well enough with white ░░░░░░░░ even Republican white women ░░░░░░░░ the Comey letter but ░░░░░░░░ stopped my momentum and ░░░░░░░░ played into the concerns ░░░░░░░░ women have about whether ░░░░░░░░ are making a mistake ░░░░░░░░ their vote I started ░░░░░░░░ door to door in ░░░░░░░░ many many years ago ░░░░░░░░ I was always surprised ░░░░░░░░ I would knock on ░░░░░░░░ door and a woman ░░░░░░░░ answer and I would ░░░░░░░░ I am here for ░░░░░░░░ candidate The woman would ░░░░░░░░ I just don t ░░░░░░░░ enough I don t ░░░░░░░░ to make a mistake ░░░░░░░░ that was my personal ░░░░░░░░ And of course taking ░░░░░░░░ to the last month ░░░░░░░░ this campaign all of ░░░░░░░░ sudden people are being ░░░░░░░░ You know what Something ░░░░░░░░ going on They are ░░░░░░░░ to investigate her again ░░░░░░░░ whatever We could see ░░░░░░░░ a lot of women ░░░░░░░░ particular turned away They ░░░░░░░░ discouraged I do not ░░░░░░░░ them They did not ░░░░░░░░ what to believe It ░░░░░░░░ outrageous what happened You ░░░░░░░░ to see how women ░░░░░░░░ trying to do what ░░░░░░░░ think of as the ░░░░░░░░ thing for themselves and ░░░░░░░░ their family They are ░░░░░░░░ under pressure from people ░░░░░░░░ them There s a ░░░░░░░░ of anecdotal evidence about ░░░░░░░░ So when a woman ░░░░░░░░ she has to work ░░░░░░░░ hard to convince other ░░░░░░░░ that she can do ░░░░░░░░ job that she is ░░░░░░░░ for And we have ░░░░░░░░ progress not enough in ░░░░░░░░ Congress and the Senate ░░░░░░░░ not enough in governor ░░░░░░░░ offices but getting people ░░░░░░░░ feel comfortable about the ░░░░░░░░ level is still a ░░░░░░░░ There are some statistics ░░░░░░░░ my book that even ░░░░░░░░ Democratic women and men ░░░░░░░░ is not 80 or ░░░░░░░░ percent who think they ░░░░░░░░ like to see a ░░░░░░░░ president It is in ░░░░░░░░ high 60 s for ░░░░░░░░ and it s in ░░░░░░░░ 40 s for men ░░░░░░░░ is a lot more ░░░░░░░░ it is for Republicans ░░░░░░░░ just have a hard ░░░░░░░░ thinking about a woman ░░░░░░░░ the White House These ░░░░░░░░ complicated psychological emotional political ░░░░░░░░ issues And if you ░░░░░░░░ there is just one ░░░░░░░░ you re probably going ░░░░░░░░ be wrong So we ░░░░░░░░ to look at a ░░░░░░░░ broader set of responses ░░░░░░░░ appeals to persuade women ░░░░░░░░ vote for other women ░░░░░░░░ then to try to ░░░░░░░░ solidarity around that.”
