Act Like a Man

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

As I said in my previous, I will give Hillary Clinton credit where credit is due and gave a great political speech last night, but the true test will be whether her supporters get on board.  The problem with most of them, usually the middle-aged women who came of age in the feminist movement, is they don’t know how to act like men. 

These are the people who say women and men should be treated equallly up until the point that they actually are.  Feminists will whine and complain about how Hillary Clinton was treated unfairly by the media, when she wasn’t.  She was treated just like a man.  

Men get tough questions, tough scrutiny and a tough time.  And so do female candidates who want to be taken seriously.  They don’t cry, they buck and get in and fight.

In addition, whenever feminists get into the debate and their position gets the same scrutiny as the opposing side, they quickly retreat and say they are being treated unfairly because they’re women.  No, you’re get the equal treatment that you asked for.

The middle-aged feminist supporters who think Hillary was teated unfairly by the media need to get a clue.  They need to stop being angry, bitter and clinging to their bras.  They need to buck up.  In other words, they need to act like men.
