Katie,
Thank you for having the courage to speak out about the sexism in the media against Senator Clinton. I have been appalled watching certain news programs during this primary season where reporters spoke with utter disrespect against Hillary and thus against all women. I work in a helping profession and I cannot believe that women continue to have to deal with this type of abuse today. We have so much further to go. I am also appalled at other women who act like their sexist counterparts against their own ***. This should never be tolerated. Women united will be a first step in stopping sexism! It is our time to stand up and be heard!!

Katie,
While I am glad you run with article. I am wondering why you did not feel this way during your interview with Hillary Clinton a few months ago?

Katie,
Thank you so much for speaking out! We need woman like you who are out there speaking out for woman. Not only for me but for my daughters and granddaughters. I am 19 but I am thinking that when my daughters are born I want to know that they can be anything they want to be.
Do not let Keith Olberman intimidate you, if you do not stand up for yourself, his sexism keeps on winning.
Thank you for speaking out, you just made a new fan.

Thank you so much for speaking out so strongly on this distressing issue, Katie. Obviously, I agree with you and I wish there had been some way for the sexism to be broached during the campaign by people who were not related to Senator Clinton or Senator Clinton herself. Senator Obama''s "Annie Oakley" speech was a perfect example of the sexist put-downs and he got away with it. I hope that others will speak-out in the support of your statements.

Thank you for addressing the bad behavior of your colleagues. It is rare in the mainstream press.

Katie,

Thank you for speaking out against the blatant sexism directed against Senator Clinton. Never in our history has a candidate been so vilified by her opponent, her own party, and the media. It is a testament to her character that she held her head high throughout the entire tawdry ordeal.

We will remember in November!!
