Numerous other commentators have criticized Dowd for having an obsession with Bill and especially Hillary Clinton. During the 2008 Democratic primary, Dowd published an article titled “Can Hillary Clinton Cry Herself Back to the White House?”, which a 2016 study said “[serves] to reinforce the stereotype that tears and visible emotions are feminine traits and signs of weakness”. Dowd also published a column where she likened Clinton to the “Terminator”, a ruthless cyborg where “unless every circuit is out, she’ll regenerate enough to claw her way out of the grave”; a 2013 study argued that portrayals such as these sought to portray Clinton and her presidential bid as improper and unnatural. According to then-public editor of The New York Times Clark Hoyt, Dowd’s columns about Clinton were “loaded with language painting her as a 50-foot woman with a suffocating embrace, a conniving film noir dame and a victim dependent on her husband”. A 2014 analysis by the left-leaning advocacy group Media Matters of 21 years of Maureen Dowd’s columns about Hillary Clinton found that of the 195 columns by Dowd since November 1993 containing significant mentions of Clinton, 72 percent (141 columns) were negative towards Clinton.

On March 4, 2014, Dowd published a column about the dominance of men in the film industry; in it, she quoted Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment. According to BuzzFeed, “leaked emails from Sony” suggested that Dowd had promised to provide the draft column to Pascal’s husband, former Times reporter Bernard Weinraub, prior to the column’s publication. BuzzFeed said the column “painted Pascal in such a good light that she engaged in a round of mutual adulation with Dowd over email after its publication.” Both Dowd and Weinraub have denied that Weinraub ever received the column. On December 12, 2014, Times public editor Margaret Sullivan concluded, “While the tone of the email exchanges is undeniably gushy, I don’t think Ms. Dowd did anything unethical here.” In August 2014, it was announced that Dowd would become a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine. Her first article under the new arrangement was published more than a year later.
