      Yesterday, I met someone whose balanced thoughtfulness & reason I have always thought well of who said all criticism of Clinton is misogyny

      or has elements of it. What I actually said was 'Really?' and sat there with my mouth open. Here's what I should have said:

      "No. This kind of attitude is well-meaning but comes from a form of feminism that disempowers women.

      It reduces women to gender & forgets that women are intelligent people who have serious & important ideas all of which can be criticised.

      To say criticism of Clinton all about her gender discounts the possibility that she has ever said or done anything worth evaluating.

      Furthermore, 'All criticism of Clinton includes a misogynistic element' necessarily means 'All criticism of Clinton' is bad. Don't do it.'

      If someone can not be criticised, that person can not be the president of a vast & powerful democracy.

          To say that any criticism of a woman's work is misogyny doesn't promote women's equality. It invalidates us as serious & influential people.

          Unless you genuinely think that women can never be wrong about anything (in which case you're mad) you are advocating humouring us.

          Please don't do that. Treat us like normal people. I still have a huge amount of respect for this bloke, btw, but do wish I'd said that! XD

          thanks for this.was having a similar argument with someone. to me it is again taking us back to "let's protect them" situation.

          .@honneybadger Yes! Protecting women from criticism looks very like not taking our ideas seriously. I wrote this about it in a blog.pic.twitter.com/np68P67vA3

          Funny how this isn't a problem with Theresa May. I haven't seen the same accusations of sexism levelled at her critics.

          Apparently there was a comment about how much cleavage she once showed which annoyed feminists. Fair enough.
