Clinton Supporters See Sexist Backlash

Many women who support Hillary Clinton—and even some who don't—find that the New York senator's bid for president has unleashed unsettling sexist hostility in the workplace and elsewhere, the Wall Street Journal reports. A woman shouted at by a stranger for her Hillary bumper sticker says the "level of venom" always takes her by surprise.

From the 38,000-member Facebook group "Hillary Clinton Stop Running for President and Make Me a Sandwich" to the Pittsburgh law office where male lawyers voice the consensus that women are "too emotional" to be president, the tone of attacks prompts even Obama supporters to ask: "Why is it OK to say such horrible things about a woman?"
