Tim Gunn: Hillary Clinton Fashion Shows Gender Confusion
By Julie Bolcer

Celebrity style expert Tim Gunn appeared on Lopez Tonight and issued a
judgment against the “unflattering” pantsuits that Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton wears, saying, “I think she’s confused about her
gender.”
“Why must she dress that way? I think she’s confused about her gender,”
said the Project Runway star, in a comment that caused audible discomfort
among some Lopez Tonight audience members. “All these big, baggy menswear-
tailored pantsuits. No, I’m really serious. She wears pantsuits that are
really unflattering.”
Host George Lopez introduced the topic and encouraged the criticism of
Clinton by asking at one point how any tailoring could hide “cankles.” He
compared a recent “floral outfit” worn by Clinton to his memories of No
Bugs M’Lady, a type of insecticidal shelf liner used by his grandmother.
Gunn commended the former first lady and U.S. senator from New York briefly
for “her intellect and her tenacity” and service to country before adding,
“I just wish she could send a stronger message about American fashion.”
The comments played poorly among feminists and transgender advocates, who
saw the words as evidence of the double standard faced by women in public
life and the oversimplified understanding of gender.
Jezebel excoriated Gunn for his remarks about Clinton’s “Jersey Shore
style” and questioned why fashion should be part of her job description.
Feministing said the comments illustrated the predicament of women who run
for office, whether the candidate is Clinton, Sarah Palin, or Michelle
Bachmann.
“Spend too much money and energy making sure you conform to the strict
beauty standards of being a ‘woman’ in this culture and you’ll risk not
being taken seriously as a ‘politician.’ But spend too little and you’ll
end up having your identity as a ‘woman’ questioned,” wrote a contributor
to the blog. “In either case, your appearance will be scrutinized in a way
that would be totally unthinkable for a male politician.” | D**S

Hillary Clinton does not have the body for the more "flattering" glamorous
female dresses. I think she makes ok choices in what to wear and looks
alright in them as well. We need a competent SOS, not some glitzy fashion
lady. |
