The article I chose was from the New York Times titled, “HillaryClinton’s Everywoman Moment” written by The Editorial Board and was published
on September 27, 2016. The article is about how Hillary finally got her moment
to put Donald Trump to shame with his attitude towards women. During the debate
she let him talk and talk for ninety minutes then it was her turn to tell the
world. In recent news an old beauty queen of Trumps spoke out against him and
told her story. The story she told was about how nasty he was to her because
she was Latina woman. When her and Trump knew each other she said he would call
her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” and I’m sure countless other names as
well. When she accused Trump of these accusations he didn’t deny them at all
and he basically said they all have deserved it. Clinton was addressing basically every woman
in regards to being put to shame by males. Apparently it worked because she has
mostly females on her side and she is still trying to get even more on her
side. Trump from my opinion doesn’t have many females on his side and I think
after the debate he isn’t going to get much more. Not only did Clinton want to
shame Trump she also wanted to bump up her votes and it was probably easy for
all the women to side with her.
Being a female myself it made me think less of Trump than I already
do. But after hearing how he degraded the woman made me hate him more. Clinton
was right to call him out during the debate and let the world or mostly the
women of the world know how he really is. I agree with almost everything the
author said and how she/he explained it. The author was also right in saying
that the debate turned into a “big-screen version of what women encounter every
day. “ It’s true because women go through that every single day but as soon as
someone important gets blamed for it, it becomes a big deal. The article made me think more about how our
government is going to be if he is elected president that’s for sure.
