Laura McKenna looks at some of the anger behind Hillary Clinton’s core demographic.
I can see some of that. I know at least one woman who will vote Republican if they don’t nominate Hillary, because she’s convinced it’ll be the boys’ club kicking women under the bus again. (Whether I agree with that thinking or not is immaterial, the thinking is obviously there.)

Most women — myself included — don’t experience these forms of soft sexism until later in life. We’re sailing through school work, out pacing men in the classroom. It’s only when the hard realities of family and work hit that women understand that they get the short end of the stick.
It’s not sexism that’s the problem. It’s “sailing through school work”, being coddled. That’s no preparation for the harsh realities of life.
If Hillary wins LOOK OUT! The next sex scandal we’ll be talking about will be in the White House. If she’s been unable to control Bill all this time, I doubt that’ll change after she’s president.
This primary season, which has been remarkable for so many reasons, will be remembered as one that shone a bright light on the low but steady levels of anger in women. Older women may be channeling that into a vote for Hillary, but younger women get it, too.
I get it. I worked hard and did not ever fit in any man games. I’ve always felt life is hard for each of us in different ways.
On Hillary and my vote? Nope.
