Sexism in the Campaign
She didn't smile enough? It's a national security forum, not a Mary Kay cosmetics convention.
This is fairly typical. A man doesn't smile and he is "strong", "Tough", "decisive", "Serious"
A woman doesn't smile and she is "shrill", and a "B*tch".
Like it or not sexual stereotypes continue to dog us.

RNC chief critique: Clinton didn't smile during national security forum
Washington (CNN)Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus slammed Hillary Clinton Wednesday for seeming angry and not smiling more during a national security forum.
"@HillaryClinton was angry + defensive the entire time - no smile and uncomfortable - upset that she was caught wrongly sending our secrets," he said in a tweet about the "Commander in Chief" forum hosted by NBC.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Sexism in the Campaign
Hard to take the RNC or DNC chiefs word at face value. They are there for one purpose ONLY ... to promote their candidate(s) and demean the other candidate(s). .
