'Hillary Clinton is too ambitious to be the first female president'

By Gerald Collins

The writer of this article above states foremost that he thinks it is time that a woman became the president of the USA, but lists many reasons why it should not be Hillary Clinton.
Collins states how he does not like the way Clinton is so self-promoting and acts like she knows better than anyone else (which brings about the idea of Clinton maybe appearing too intelligent and too headstrong for a woman to become President).

He expresses the case for why it is time for a female president (‘women can be just as smart and qualified as men’) but at the same time, there is a small hint of male chauvinism. By stating ‘I'd rather see a female presidential candidate who wasn't so focused on herself and her political aspirations’ and how she should ‘start thinking about acting a little more ladylike’, gives off an impression that she should not take on a ‘man’s job’. If a male candidate was focused on his political aspirations it would probably be seen as ‘normal’, but because Clinton is an intelligent woman with aspirations, Collins is criticising her for it.

When he states ‘not to mention the fact that, as a working woman, she should take those precious Sundays to spend some time with her family, not to meet with the press on national television’, it begs the question would he say the same thing about Obama?

Collins seems to contradict himself slightly in this article, and seems to just confirm some of the prejudices against Clinton for being too intelligent and headstrong and maybe too much of a ‘man’, which she has been criticised for by feminists as well.
