It’s because she is a woman. Other people in this thread are complaining about Hillary Clinton. Obviously sexism is expected on this site but this is especially blatant.

On this same thread, I have seen comments about Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Robert Rubin, and Barney Frank. Is it really sexist to complain that a well-known public official gets paid millions of dollars (while out of office for a short period) by the same institutions that she eventually gets to regulate?
