It’s difficult for a woman to be perceived as both tough and likable, Hillary Clinton said Friday, lamenting that women are constantly being judged by their looks. “Yes, I think it’s really hard. To be honest, I think it’s really hard,” Clinton told R&B singer Mary J. Blige in a 30-minute interview on the premiere of Apple Music’s “The 411 with Mary J. Blige.” “I don’t know why it’s so hard, but, you know, I think it’s rooted in, you know, tens of thousands of years of how people’s lives have been defined, what it’s meant to be a woman or a man and how society was organized.”
