Reply #28: It is sexist to classify her, a presidential candidate, as simply a wife. The media created this, [View All]

not Hillary or Bill Clinton. They did not invent the terminology, name calling or story line. It would not even be in their interest to do so. The media is promoting it. The media is taping him and putting it on tv more than any other campaign supporter, because he is the former president and her husband. Then they make a story out of it, ie; 'Hillary is first, foremost Bill's wife'. 'Good cop/bad cop", etc... etc.... Of course they are allowed work as a team, they are married, just like other candidates whose spouses and family campaign for them. Why is there's a double standard for her?

Every candidate welcomes recognizable support, from celebrities to family and spouses. There is nothing wrong with that. As I've written before, would you have faulted JFK and RFK for this?

"Billary" has been all over the internet and media. The media has spouted "co-president", not Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton has repeatedly said in debates 'I'm here. I'm the one running'.

This is why some Dem leaders have asked Bill Clinton to try and not react to the media prodding so much, but I imagine it is hard when you see your spouse maligned, by the media, and a person feels repeatedly attacked.


"Mrs." is sexist and inappropriate because it identifies her by her marital status. Ms. is the only actually non sexist address for a woman. "Mrs." has not been used in academia or where a woman has a professional title or position of authority for many many years.

The most respectful address that should be used is "Senator Clinton'.
