Hillary Makes a Passing Reference to the Demands of the Patriarchy


Quote of the Day

"Barack would get up faithfully every morning and go to the gym. I would get up and have my hair done."
-- Hillary Rodham Clinton


Hillary's observation about the gendered demands of the patriarchy is cited by the AP as a quip which she made in passing at a New York fundraiser. Now that the woman is no longer on the campaign trail, she is free to find the time to exercise.

We are still waiting for Barack Obama to be required to devote time to having his hair done.
