Why Clinton Will Keep Her Chill Against Trump’s Sexism In The Debate
She’s been facing bullies her whole damn career.
So expect her to keep her chill on Monday night, when she faces off with Donald Trump, the most blatant misogynist to ever grace the presidential debate stage.
The gender dynamics going into this first widely anticipated debate are so loaded and unsubtle, it’s almost comical. But, essentially, Clinton’s been prepping for this moment for the entirety of her career ― from at least the time she had to face down hostile comments when she was taking the bar exam to some infamously charged moments in debates during her Senate run in 2000 and her failed presidential bid in 2008.
Like any woman who’s spent her entire career navigating through male-dominated corridors, Clinton’s become fairly adept at turning blatant and subtle sexism to her advantage.
“She’s heard it all before,” said Deborah Kolb, a professor emerita at Simmons College who advises female executives on their careers and is the author of Negotiating at Work. When advising women on negotiation, Kolb likes to counsel them on what she calls “the turn.”
That is, when someone puts you down and you turn their negativity back onto them. “So somebody says, ‘you look tired today.’ Implying that you are not up to the work,” Kolb said. “You can say, ‘I am certainly tired of that kind of comment.’”

So cool bettyellen!
Bullies never do, they do not like to be confronted. No wonder they were confused. 
Good job, bettyellen!
