TIMES
"There is still a very large proportion of the population that is uneasy with women in positions of leadership," Clinton told Gillard, "and so the easiest way to kind of avoid having to look at someone on her merits is to dismiss her on her looks."Gillard compared the chants of "lock her up" that Clinton faced during the election to "the Salem Witch Trials."
"There is this fear, there is this anger, even rage about women seeking power, women exercising power and people fall back on these attacks like you're a witch or you should go to prison," Clinton agreed. "It's not a majority, thank goodness, it's not, but it's a very vocal minority at least in my country. And sometimes these tropes are very much part of the press coverage."Clinton continued to insist that her opponents who claimed not to be against women have since shown that they are misogynists.
