Vignette 1

Her hardwork seems to be characterized as a relentless petulantism.
Recent Newspaper Headline reads: Hillary Clinton defiant despite Barack Obama’s victory in winning streak."
Perhaps it is an overreaction on my part but it is blanket statements like these that crawl into my skin, making it writh with anger. Here I would most appropriately be characterized as the typical irrational woman and/or trying to attract attention by playing the victim. Emotion, I suppose, is thought to gush naturally from women, like an uncontrollable, but inevitable leak. So when a women who is persistently characterized by stoicism, hardness- male qualities- I guess any display of passion will be considered disingenuous.
