Hillary Clinton

In Gail Evans book "Play Like a Man Win Like a Woman", Chapter 6 "Six Things Men Can Do at Work That Women Can't" she lists those six things she believes men can do in the work place that women can not!  Let's take number one because it's been in the news this last week and addresses Hillary Clinton's tearful episode the day before the New Hampshire primary. Gail Evans writes - They Can Cry. You Can't.  She goes on to say "Men can get away with tears because it's unexpected. Men believe powerful people don't cry. If they do, they must have an excellent reason.  Women on the other hand are expected to cry.  And when we do, men think it's because we're giving in to a natural instinct or worse, they think we're using tears as a game prop, a tool to manipulate them into feeling guilty."  So the question is why did Hillary cry?  Whether Gails theory is true or not what is true is that perception is reality and in Hillary's case it seems that most of the men interviewed do indeed see her tears as manipulative.  I have watched that clip over and over again...and believe she was "feeling" what she was saying. Perhaps she's been trying to HOLD BACK those tears for a very long time because she's read Gail's book and knows it's something she shouldn't do? I wonder what Gail thinks? When you think about it the impact of that moment may have even given her an edge the next day and ultimately the WIN in New Hampshire.  What do you think?  Come back next week for #2....Georgia Dudley, Founder, Empowering Women Network, Inc.
