Hillary Clinton said in an interview this week that the female candidates for the 2020 Democratic nomination are unjustly facing the challenge of not looking "aggressive" or "angry" — and must instead take a "Goldilocks path" of looking just right.

“How does a woman stand up for herself on the biggest stage in the world without, No. 1, looking aggressive — maybe a little bit angry — that somebody is behaving like that, being willing to go toe-to-toe, when there are so few memories embedded in our collective DNA where women do that?” Clinton said in an interview on the podcast “TBD with Tina Brown.”

As the Democratic presidential nominee in 2016, Clinton and her supporters have argued she faced a double standard as the first female candidate from a major party seeking the nation’s highest office. Women, she said, often face scrutiny and criticism for perceived qualities or traits that would not be applied to men.
