I more often wonder why George H. W. Bush stayed with a bug-eyed woman that looks like his grandmother. . . .
Lordy.

Allow me to explain before you get out the pitchforks and torches... women are brutally tough on one another. Ask a defense attorney on a rape case who he wants on a jury. I bet he'll say women. Women will look for something that the victim did to make her responsible for the attack. Was she a slut? Did she dress provocatively? Did she make overt overtures? Once they satisfy these questions in their mind, THEN, they'll determine the guilt/innocence of the guy sitting on trial.
Although I do think women are hard on each other, especially when it comes to elections. It's my opinion that the majority of women DO want to see a female president, but that it has to be the PERFECT one.
I'll admit that I got a little pissy about Hillary when she made that comment years ago about "I'm not the stay-home-and-bake-cookies type." That annoyed me because I WAS staying home with my young kids, and baking a fair number of cookies!
Ignoring all of the back and forth on the Clintons... this divide is pretty much the undoing of women.

The fact is that Hillary is not going to have an easy go of it with women. Her "breakdown" did wonders for her status with women (many thought she was a blindly ambitious machine), but a lot of women will continue to judge her harshly for the personal as opposed to the professional. Many women I know vehemently oppose her because of the way she handled Bill and scandal. I used to feel the same way... then I wondered what it was that people were expecting from a political family in the public eye. A lot of women STAY when they are being abused and cheated on... in a way I think the reflection they see through Hillary is too tough to take.
