“Jimmy Kimmel Live” skewered the double standards applied to female politicians in a segment between Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and host Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday’s episode.

Kimmel brought out Clinton’s podium and asked her to start her stump speech.

After just a few seconds, Kimmel stopped Clinton for talking too loud. “It comes off as a little shrill,” he pointed out. “For men.”

It would also be good to smile, Kimmel said, but, you know, don’t force it.

“Ask yourself: Do you want to be president or do you want to be a Lakers Girl?” Kimmel said.
