In an interview with the New York Times published Saturday, Clinton spoke further about how misogyny is used as a tool to hold women back. “This has to be called out for what it is: a cultural, political, economic game that’s being played to keep women in their place,” Clinton said. “The idea that women have to fit certain stereotypes; that’s a weight around the ankle of every ambitious woman I’ve ever met,” she added. “It’s difficult for me to see my story as one of revolution,” Clinton told the Times. “But I was part of the women’s movement that led to a revolution not just in laws, but in attitudes and doors that had been closed to young women opening.”“I’m also conscious of the continuing double standard,” she added.
