Ms. Renzetti seems to have missed the point: Ms. Clinton isn't being "shushed" because she hasn't had her say, it's that pundits want her to let go of the electoral pulpit (which she has had for at least 10 years) because it's time for someone else to occupy the spotlight.

It's simply not possible to try to generalize about women in politics from Ms. Clinton's example. Say what you want about Kathleen Wynne, she did win her premiership fair and square. Same with Christy Clark and the other female provincial premiers and state governors. These women are far more plausible role models for encouraging women in politics than a former First Lady and U.S. Senator with an attitude of entitlement.
