Apparently, polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere, ambitious, inevitable, entitled, over confident..." are all sexist codewords, LOL Romney probably wishes someone had told him "out of touch" was a sexist codeword. :D

NY Times Reporter Shares Warning She Got from Hillary Volunteers About ‘Coded Sexism’

A New York Times reporter tweeted yesterday she received a warning from a group of Hillary Clintonsupporters about certain words that shouldn’t be used in Clinton coverage because it’s “coded sexism.”

Times political report Amy Chozick said she was contacted by a group called HRC Super Volunteers (a cursory Google search doesn’t reveal much about them) and listed certain words that shouldn’t be used about Clinton.

Which words? Well, this is what Chozick tweeted:


Amy Chozick ✔ @amychozick

A group called HRC Super Volunteers just warned me "We will be watching, reading, listening and protesting coded sexism..." (1/2)


@amychozick

2/2 Sexist words, they say, include "polarizing, calculating, disingenuous, insincere, ambitious, inevitable, entitled, over confident..."

Also sexist, according to HRC Super Volunteers: "Secretive" and "will do anything to win, represents the past, out of touch..."

"You are on notice that we will be watching, reading, listening and protesting coded sexism..." the email reads.

And yes, in case you’re wondering, of course a bunch of those words have been used to describe Clinton’s potential Republican male rivals.

The 13 words you can’t write about Hillary Clinton anymore


Hillary Clinton has been in the public eye for a very long time, which means much has been written about her -- including quite a few adjectives. But some of these adjectives are now off-limits.

That's according to the Clinton "Super Volunteers," who have promised to track the media's use of words they believe to be sexist code words. The New York Times's Amy Chozick tweeted a missive she received from the group (which we would note is almost definitely not connected to official Team Clinton) on Wednesday:

So these words are now off the table: "polarizing," "calculating," "disingenuous," "insincere," "ambitious," "inevitable," "entitled," "over-confident," "secretive," "will do anything to win," "represents the past," and "out of touch."

Also apparently off the table: "tone deaf" -- at least according to a new Twitter account that appears to be from the group:

The thinking here, of course, is that these kinds of words are attached to Clinton in a way that they wouldn't be attached to male candidates -- that people wouldn't call Clinton "ambitious" if she weren't a woman, that there is a double-standard for such traits.

But do the media actually use these words to describe Clinton? Well, yes, but only if you loosely define "the media" as "the conservative media" and "people who don't like Hillary Clinton."

In fact, if you Google "Hillary Clinton" and "calculating," there are 140,000 results. The first slew of results come from conservative outlets like The Daily Caller, The Blaze, Breitbart, the Daily Telegraph and also the Republican "America Rising" super PAC. One result comes from the Los Angeles Times, but it's a defense Bill Clinton lodged in 2007 against the attacks.

"Calculating" is almost completely something used to attack Clinton or describe the attacks on her. The same goes for "disingenuous," "insincere," "entitled," "secretive," "over-confident," "represents the past" and "out of touch." These are all loaded words and not terms used casually by mainstream media journalists like Chozick to describe a politician.

The same cannot be said for some other words. "Polarizing" is a word that has long followed Clinton, as has "ambitious," and "inevitable."

And some of these words should indeed be reined in -- if not necessarily for the reason this group wants.

"Polarizing," for example, is a word that now describes pretty much every well-known politician in the country, up to and including Barack Obama and George W. Bush. The politician who isn't polarizing is the exception rather than the rule. And it usually means that the politician just isn't well known enough to be polarizing. Yet.

And while we're at it, go ahead and retire "inevitable," too. We've been talking about it for a while, sure, but it's probably been overdone (not too mention it aims to predict the future). Now it's all about whether Clinton gets any capable primary opponents. Until then, call her a huge favorite and leave it at that.

As for "ambitious," nobody runs for president without having an extraordinary amount of ambition. Not Ted Cruz, not Barack Obama, notMitt Romney or Jeb Bush, and definitely not Bill Clinton -- all of whom have had their unusual amount of ambition chewed over by the media.

Actually alot of women ive talked too including liberals think that Hillary is a bitch, and studies have shown women are harder on other women then men I wouldnt be surprised if she got less of the womens vote than obama, but I havent looked at any of the polls. The far left feminazi crowd, the ones who find clapping offensive and want to replace it with jazz hands,they will vote for Hillary no doubt, but they were never going to vote for a republican anyways.

I really don't see the need for this, since no one in the mainstream media would dare criticize the most brilliant woman of our lifetimes. Particularly if they wanted to keep their jobs.
