This perceived bias by some men against strong, successful women extends to other parts of social life, including politics. For instance, Hillary Clinton must face these perceptions as presidential candidate.
The former First Lady appears in public wearing business suits and talking about national and international issues with a lawyer's cool mind and sharp tongue.
However, while her rival Barack Obama gets "fired up", in the words of his fall campaingn slogan, Hillary is careful to remain calm. She often says that she likes the kitchen, perhaps knowing that some may be uncomfortable electing a strong female president who doesn't exhibit at least some of the moe traditional "female" traits.
