Joke of the day! Ask a male politician about designers, and it would probably be considered polite chit-chat. Ask Hilary Clinton, and it's sex DISCRIMINATION, men!

Tbf, it is. The interviewer admitted they wouldn't ask a man it.

Context, people, please! If Clinton was asked about designers as if it were more important than matters of state, then that's a problem. If someone asked her about designers as a personal interest query, then Clinton needs to lighten up.

This isn't "political sex discrimination", it's moronic journalism.

Show me one man who can name at least 3 designer suit labels that doesn't work in the fashion industry, and then I'll personally petition to have interviewers stop asking women what designers they wear. I'm not even a big suit wearer, but I have 3 of them in my closet, and I have no idea who made them, nor do I even care.

The name of the interviewer isn't stated in the picture, nor what news site they're affiliated with. Maybe it was some light-hearted 20Qs column or maybe that particular person is interested in fashion and thought they personally might bond over it.
Public figures get asked who they're wearing all the time, including men, BUT women almost always wear more extravagant clothing, especially when it comes to dresses, so it's only natural that people's curiousity would be more piqued about women's clothes. Most suits are going to look the same, people don't really care about them, but take a look at a Red Carpet and see how many women are going to wear similar dresses.
