摘要 2016 年总统竞选期间，人们对希拉里·克林顿 (Hillary Clinton) 患肺炎的反应表明，有人试图将她的健康危机转化为不良品格的表现，或者约翰逊 (Johnson, 2010) 所说的“kakoethos”。我们认为，对克林顿的批评表明了与女性健康和领导力相关的性别歧视双重标准。除了探讨总统竞选中候选人健康问题的历史并描述克林顿面临的双重标准之外，本文还解释了这种言论如何旨在使克林顿失去合法性，同时将任何女性标记为过于歇斯底里而无法领导白宫。这篇文章展示了“kakoethos”固有的性别歧视本质，以及它如何激活进一步限制老龄化女性领导人的双重束缚。
Abstract Reactions to Hillary Clinton’s bout with pneumonia during the 2016 presidential campaign revealed an effort to turn her health crisis into a sign of bad character, or what Johnson (2010) called kakoethos. We argue that the criticism of Clinton demonstrated sexist double standards related to women’s health and leadership. In addition to exploring the history of candidates’ health issues in presidential campaigns and describing the double standards that Clinton faced, this article explains how such discourse aimed to delegitimize Clinton while marking any female as too hysterical to lead from the White House. The article demonstrates the inherently sexist nature of kakoethos and how it activates double binds that further contain aging women leaders.
