“….Hillary’s ‘I won the popular vote’ claim is like the producer of Hangover saying his movie really won the Oscar for Best Film in 2010, and not The Hurt Locker, because more people watched it so the votes of the Academy’s members don’t count.
The system is the system
Hillary lost because she’s a woman?
She spent her entire campaign playing up the need to ‘break the glass ceiling’ by making her the first female president, as if somehow America is the only country that matters with regard to political gender equality.
The political glass ceiling was first smashed decades ago, in 1960 when Sirimavo Bandaranaike became first female Prime Minister of Ceylon.
And it’s carried on being smashed ever since.
Indira Gandhi became first female Prime Minister of India in 1966;
Golda Meir became first female Prime Minister of Israel in 1969;
And in 1979, Margaret Thatcher became first female Prime Minister of Great Britain.
Our current Prime Minister, Theresa May, is also a woman and she is very likely to win a landslide election victory in the UK’s general election on June 8.
In 2005, Angela Merkel became first female Chancellor of Germany and is still in office today.
In fact, there are over 20 female world leaders currently in power.
Yet apparently, Hillary was thwarted from becoming President by misogyny, in a country that is widely considered to be the most progressive in the world for women’s rights.
And if her sexism claim is true, then why did 51% of white women in America vote for her male opponent? Hillary’s ‘I won the popular vote’ claim is like the producer of Hangover saying his movie really won the Oscar for Best Film in 2010, and not The Hurt Locker, because more people watched it so the votes of the Academy’s members don’t count.
