什麼使女性不信任希拉里?
不要微笑

希拉里·克林頓正在對一個威脅使用總統權力將她關在監獄裡的人進行攻擊。一個男人誰吹噓犯下性攻擊,公開承認不繳納稅款,並堅決支持普京克里斯托弗。

然而,每次特朗普在昨晚的辯論中撒謊,做出威脅,或以一種危險的方式隱藏在她身後,她笑了。她的眼睛瞪大了,不知不覺,他們皺了皺,她笑了。但是,人們看到的不是娛樂。這是諷刺和蔑視。那個笑容中有一些東西,有一絲恐懼。它感覺到假,我相信它使人們不信任她。

她不應該微笑。我們都不應該。我們正面臨著深淵。

我知道關於婦女的雙重標準的所有論點,如果你不笑,如果你是嚴峻的,賤人,意味著你。所有的女人都被困在那個束縛中,那個死的,如果你做的,在我們大多數的生活中,如果你不,不要。也許微笑是自動的,一個tic。

她需要放棄它。打開媒體教練誰告訴她是可愛的。停止試圖可愛。我們需要她認真。蒂姆·凱恩和麥克·潘斯在辯論中都笑了笑。特朗普什麼都沒有,只是皺眉,每個人都說他做得比預期好。我不相信安吉拉·默克爾會在那個舞台上微笑,或者Theresa May,或者Nicola Sturgeon。

一個好的領導者引導她的追隨者的情緒;她不試圖與他們自私。我認為克林頓將是一個好的,甚至是一個偉大的領導人。但首先,她需要告訴我們她明白情況的嚴重性。她需要幫助我們承擔我們的焦慮。有人不得不告訴她:不要微笑。

Don't Smile

Hillary Clinton is running against a man who threatens to use presidential power to put her in jail. A man who brags about committing sexual assault, openly admits to not paying taxes, and tenaciously supports the kleptocrat Vladimir Putin.

And yet, every time Trump lied, made a threat, or loomed behind her in a menacing way in the debate last night, she smiled. Her eyes widened with incredulity, they crinkled, and she grinned. What people saw, though, wasn’t amusement. It was sarcasm and contempt. That smile had some gotcha in it, and a hint of fear. It felt fake, and I’m sure it made people distrust her.

She should not be smiling. None of us should. We are facing the abyss.

I know all the arguments about the double standard for women, how if you don’t smile, you come off as grim, bitchy, mean. All women have been trapped in that bind, that damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t, for most of our lives. Maybe the smile is automatic, a tic.

She needs to quash it. To fire the media trainers who tell her to be relatable. To stop trying to be likable. We need her to be serious. Neither Tim Kaine nor Mike Pence smiled during their debate. Trump did nothing but scowl, and everyone says he did better than expected. I don’t believe Angela Merkel would smile on that stage, or Theresa May, or Nicola Sturgeon.

A good leader channels her followers’ emotions; she doesn’t try to ingratiate herself with them. It seems clear to me that Clinton will be a good, maybe even a great, leader. But first, she needs to show us that she understands the gravity of the situation. She needs to help us bear our anxiety. Someone has to tell her: Don’t smile.
