Calling Hillary Clinton “Hillz” has been declared sexist — despite the fact that she herself has used the nickname before.

During a segment on FusionTV’s “Come Here and Say That,” host Alicia Menendez (who is the daughter of New Jersey Democratic senator Bob Menendez) was discussing examples of the media’s “sexist coverage” of female candidates — including a study conducted by women’s group UltraViolet that found that their titles are dropped more often.

“So it isn’t former senator, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — it’s just ‘Hillz’!” Menendez said.

Just one problem: “Senator, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton” has actually called herself that.

As pointed out by an article in the Daily Caller, Hillary autographed a picture for Adam Smith, founder of the “Texts from Hillary” Tumblr, with the following message:

“Adam — Thanks for the many LOLZ.”
Hillary
‘Hillz’”

#related#For the record, the media also uses a few nicknames to refer to Hillary’s husband Bill (who is a man) — including “Bubba” and the unfortunate “Slick Willie — as they have done with several other male politicians: George W. “Dubya” Bush, Ken “Cooch” Cuccinelli, and of course Joe “Creepy Uncle Joe” Biden.
