NEW YORK – Women discriminated against in America? Since yesterday, the individual battles, that of Hillary Clinton under attack by Republicans to doubts about his real state of health and that of Jill Abramson, editor of the New York Times, ousted and humiliated in the public square has become a collective struggle. Jessica Valenti on the Nation has no doubt that the discrimination suffered Jill Ambramson is sexist. Dylan Byers of political attacks: “I would have written a piece as if it were a man,” writes Valenti.

And Carly Fiorina, former CEO of HP is even more direct: “Do not tell each stupid women are worse paid than men, have to work more than men to make a career if they exercise authority and are branded as neurotic as men are just tough. The case Abramson summarizes the two conditions, but semplicemtne, it had character. ” The case Hillary Clinton is far more complex and subtle. The accusation came from Karl Rove, former top political strategist of the Bush White House and still super-active in the Republican Party.

“His fall of 2012 could have produced brain damage. We do not know the whole truth, “said Rove last night taking another step forward with respect to the statements of a few days ago. – But it should not even show up as a candidate … “.

The Republicans talk about age and health problems. In November of 2016, Hillary Clinton would be 69 years. Too old to become “Commander in Chief” say the Republicans. To this add the state of his health would be much worse than you think from the neurological point of view, because of the fall. And exhume the grave incident of Benghazi, which led to the killing of the American Ambassador in Libya, which has opened an investigation.

All this, says the Chairman of the Republican Party Reince Priebus leads us to a clear prediction: Hillary Clinton will not run for the presidency, in a month when you will have to make your ad, give up. An attack silly, especially since the Republicans have a problem with the female vote. An attack that has galvanized and unified the basis of women. Peter Hamby of CNN last night he had no doubts: “The Republicans are playing with fire, they should be more ‘cautious in discussing the age of a woman,” he said. But if you talk about it even in small provincial town.

The Topeka Capital Journal for example, wrote: “Women in leadership positions still have mountains to climb.” Kathleen Parker in the Washington Post writes: These two episodes have brought a feeling of injustice in the collective brain of women. ” Conclusion: Hillary will be a candidate and will have a good chance of winning the presidency especially if your competitor will be Jeb Bush. But the attacks persist, the polarization will continue and the idea that Democrat Hillary Clinton will become the first female president of the United States is a nemesis worse than the one that brought the first African American, Barack Obama to the presidency.
