Katie Halper looks at Susan Bordo’s paean to Hillary Clinton, The Destruction of Hillary Clinton, and her related OP/ED in the Guardian, and observes that she gets the facts wrong, contradicts herself, and removes any agency from women who disagree with her:

……… Your piece sets out to blame millennial feminists and show us what we did wrong in supporting Sanders, but it winds up illuminating your own failings, sadly not uncommon among certain Clinton supporters, especially those who chose to blame everyone and everything but Clinton for her loss:

• An over-identification with Clinton and her biography that eclipses appreciation of young women’s lives and hardships and the political differences

• Basing an argument solely on personal impressions, vague remembrances, mental and emotional associations

• A condescending tone with occasional unconvincing gestures of respect and understanding for your younger sisters

• Misleading statements, omissions, falsehoods or indisputable error, here related to Clinton’s statements on superpredators and warranting an immediate editorial correction

This is just a brief excerpt of what is a point by point “Fisking” of what is a self-absorbed, incoherent, and deeply dishonest screed.

It is well worth the read.
