Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton said female candidates must deal with a “double standard” from pundits and “keep forging through it.”
“We are still living with a double standard,” Clinton told CNN’s Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning. “I know it. Every woman I know knows it, whether you’re in the media as a woman, or you’re in the professions or business or politics, and I don’t know anything other to do than just keep forging through it, and just keep taking the slings and arrows that comes with being a woman in the arena.”
The volume of Clinton’s voice on the campaign trail has been discussed by the media. She called that interesting.
“Sometimes I talk soft,” the former Secretary of State said. “Sometimes I get passionate and I get a little bit excited. I don’t know any man who doesn’t do the same thing.”
“I’m so used to this,” Clinton then told Tapper, telling voters to judge her by her record, not by her gender, with just a few days until the New Hampshire primary.
