Vox: “Nasty woman" becomes the feminist rallying cry Hillary Clinton was waiting forCalling Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman” may have been the best thing Donald Trump has ever done for her campaign. […]
During the third debate, Trump fired off his most respectful attack when he leaned into his mic and blurted out that Clinton was “such a nasty woman.” Well, he did say no one respects women more than him.
And that’s when Donald gifted women everywhere the “binders full of women” of 2016, prompting many to take to social media to reclaim an insult Trump lobbed at Clinton and, unknowingly to him, at all of them too. The hashtag #ImANastyWoman spread like feminist wildfire, launching a conversation about the way successful women are often treated differently than their male counterparts.
In that moment, Trump did for Clinton what she hasn’t been able to do with female voters: He made her relatable.
