Hillary Clinton responds to a question from a 15 year old school girl in a Pennsylvania suburb of Haverford, who spoke about the damage done by Trump's crude comments about women. The girl Brennan Leach, asked Hillary Clinton, how Mrs. Clinton could help girls understand that they are much more than their looks. Clinton told the girl that "many women online were being bullied," and that this had to stop. She told the largely female crowd in Haverford gym that "Lets be the best we can be. Lets be proud of who we are."  The girl Brennan had lost a friend to suicide last year, and was especially concerned about the effect on girls of bullying at a period of middle and high school, which is a sensitive time for girls growing up. Trump had made many disparaging comments about women during the entire election campaign in 2016, without the kind of media sense of shock that one would have expected for such comments during previous moments in American history.


Hillary Clinton and questions about the effect on young girls of the crude comments on women during the election campaign of 2016

The election campaign of 2016 will be remembered for the crude comments on women made during the campaign. The sense of shock and ostracism of such comments in the media was absent in the way it would have happened in previous moments in American history. The question at a gym in Haverford, Pennsylvania suburb, was typical of the angst expressed by young women about this situation.
