Hillary Clinton, the former US Secretary of State, has revealed that she can't bear any sexist remarks or misogyny, referring to Julia Gillard's recent speech.

She expressed her grievances towards the former Australian Prime Minister's speech in the Parliament which had shocking sexist remarks and said that being in politics leaves no room for sexism and especially people with such high standards shouldn't deliver such prejudiced speeches, News.com.au reported.

She added that though US and few other countries have overcome this malpractice, there are few more who have a long way to go.
