It's acceptable for Hillary to invoke gender and charge sexism

[cali]

at every turn.

Can you imagine if Obama had talked about busting the iron ceiling of racism constantly? Or charged racism over and over? It would have strangled his candidacy in its infancy.

Just an observation. I don't have a problem with Hillary talking about smashing the glass ceiling, and undoubtedly she has to contend with sexism, though I do think her campaign and mostly her surrogates, have been too cavalier about tossing off accusations of sexism.

[TTUBatfan2008]

1. I am against sexism...

and there is no doubt Hillary has dealt with a lot of it in her life. But I am against empty feminism too. Saying someone should vote for a person simply because of gender or race or religion or whatever is bullshit, especially if the candidate has supported the War Machine that has killed millions of innocent women around the world over the last 25 years.

[catnhatnh]

2. Just once at a debate

I would like to see Hillary pull the sexism routine and have Bernie just reply "Oy Gevalt!".

[Fumesucker]

21. Damn, I've got a cold and my stomach hurts from coughing

Laughing wasn't any fun...

Now I'm coughing again, shit...

[passiveporcupine]

23. Oh Lordy

I'd love to see that too!

[Punkingal]

3. They are too cavalier about it. And sometimes over the top, as in Secretary Albright's comments.

They try to have it both ways, IMO.

[roguevalley]

4. How about this shit sandwich from Gloria Steinem on the HRC

group:

Feminist activist Gloria Steinem on Friday suggested that young women support Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders over rival Hillary Clinton because they want to meet boys.

On HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Maher asked Steinem why Clinton, who has campaigned on the historic nature of her candidacy, was losing the young female vote.

don’t mean to over-generalize … but men tend to get more conservative because they gain power as they age, and women get more radical because they lose power as they age,” Steinem responded.

As a feminist of her age group, she is full of shit. It doesn't get stupider than this. Imagine that remark made by a man and see how long he would last.

[DanTex]

6. Under the bus goes Gloria!

[roguevalley]

7. first of all, I am assuming as DAN you aren't female.

secondly, she's getting thrashed up the wazoo on her twitter account. Thirdly, she deserves it. If donald trump had said that everyone would eat him alive. I am the same generation feminist as her and I say she's full of shit. She can stay under the bus.

[DanTex]

31. Getting trashed on twitter, huh? No way! LOL.

[roguevalley]

32. you should read it

[beam me up scottie]

33. GOOD.

She deserves it.

[DanTex]

34. Under the bus!

[beam me up scottie]

35. She threw young women under the bus, not the other way around.

Now they're throwing her under a train and rightly so, she sounded like Sarah Palin.

[DanTex]

38. Gloria Steinem is now Sarah Palin. This keeps getting better!

[beam me up scottie]

39. Reading is fundamental, Dan. Try harder. Let me know if I need to type it again for you.

[CharlotteVale]

9. She threw young women under the bus. She for some unfathomable

reason accused them of only supporting Bernie because "boys" did and she disgusted a whole lot of women of all ages in Hillary's name.

[libdem4life]

19. I'm a Steinem contemporary...what a waste of what could have been. But we always wondered about her

[cyberswede]

30. Pointing out when someone says something stupid ≠ throwing them under the bus.

You need to progress boyond black & white thinking.

[beam me up scottie]

40. Don't bother, he'll defend Hillary's surrogates no matter what they do.

[cherokeeprogressive]

41. Underthebus... underthebus... underthebus... underthebussssss! There's that chant again.

Do you dream that? Everything you love going under the bus any time someone doesn't love it too?

[dsc]

15. You seriously don't think women lose power as they age

and that men gain it?

[roguevalley]

16. where did I say that? I didn't say that unless you mean this for someone

else on the drop down thread.

[dsc]

18. These are your words

don’t mean to over-generalize … but men tend to get more conservative because they gain power as they age, and women get more radical because they lose power as they age,” Steinem responded.

As a feminist of her age group, she is full of shit. It doesn't get stupider than this. Imagine that remark made by a man and see how long he would last.

[roguevalley]

24. oh really. thanks for 'reading' my mind. Given that she says

young women only follow Sanders to get dick as one of the responders says, I think she hardly deserves a pass. but that's just me. Whatever makes you happy.

[dflprincess]

36. My niece and her wife were surprised to hear they're supporting Bernie

because they want to meet boys.

[Matariki]

5. When her surrogates are saying crap like what Steinem and Albright said this weekend

it's just insulting and offensive. To me, as a woman.

[beam me up scottie]

8. And to me as well, vilifying and dismissing women who don't support Hillary is sexist.

Implying that intelligent young women who support Bernie are hormone crazed idiots is offensive as hell.

[libdem4life]

20. Absolutely agree.

[JudyM]

25. Absolutely right. Demeaning and shaming ethically principled young women.

[Duckhunter935]

27. offensive to me also

This guy thinks that is just way over the top.

[roguevalley]

10. from her page. she seriously didn't help either HRC or women.

[CharlotteVale]

11. It saddens me that it's come to this.

[roguevalley]

12. some times if you're idolized too long you believe the bullshit. This

remark is a belief she apparently holds and is indefensible. She's getting trounced on twitter.

[beam me up scottie]

13. Good, I hope they let her have it until she apologizes.

And I don't want to hear any whining about how poor Gloria is being bullied by girls. She deserves every bit of venom directed at her.

[roguevalley]

17. agreed.

[Duckhunter935]

28. yep, she brought this on herself

[JudyM]

26. So are we to assume all the young lesbians are supporting Hillary? ....... Not!

[ucrdem]

14. He did talk about it.

There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America.

Does that ring a bell?

p.s. look who was listening:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

22. I know of no Sanders supporters who support him because he's male.

Nor, do I know of any Sanders supporters who oppose her because she's female.

37. It's not her

But Madeline Alright didn't help the situation.
