Hillary Clinton Snapchats an Empowering Video, but the Internet Only Cares About Her Haircut
Hillary's back, but so are the old stigmas.
Hillary Clinton recorded what was meant to be an inspirational Snapchat Discover story on Wednesday — clad in red for International Women's Day, she gave a call to arms for the future. Unfortunately, the internet didn't spend too much time listening to her words.

"There's a lot to fight for," Clinton says. "Planned Parenthood, education, healthcare, jobs. Every issue is a women's issue. So stand up, resist, run for office, be a champion."
A wonderful, short speech to be sure. Unfortunately, it was her looks, yet again, that commanded the most attention.

@mic focusing only on a woman's looks and not her body of work is mysogyny that you are partaking in 😒

For the millionth time, Clinton can't escape opinions about her appearance overshadowing her words and deeds.
And, of course, the internet was quick to weigh in with its many, many, many different opinions.
Fortunately, at least some were supportive.
Hillary Clinton is def going for that "let me speak to your supervisor" with her new haircut.

Maybe one day her words will be more of a conversation piece than her hair. But we won't hold our breath.
