Television commentary against Clinton plunged to disgraceful testosterone-charged lows: first reprimands for sounding like a “scolding mother” and a “nagging wife”; then “every man’s first wife” and eventually a “she-devil” and a “white bitch”. At times, it was a struggle to remember that political punditry did not always sound straight out of men’s locker rooms.
