Leah -- I think the biggest violation is the basic premise that a woman shouldn't be seen, period. Your comment that she was wearing long sleeves assumes that had she been wearing short sleeves their photoshopping may have been understandable. But it wouldn't have been. This is an act based on an idea that women should be completely invisible at all times, that men should be free to walk this planet without ever having to encounter an image of a woman (note the assumption as well that only men will be reading the newspaper). This is not an erasure of Hillary Clinton -- it's an erasure of women. B'vracha, Elana
