| 3. After all the claims of sexism around here... |
|
... many based on what I believe to be VERY THIN evidence at best, it astounds me that more women aren't upset that THESE statements are in fact, sexist! They are blatantly saying that BALLS are REQUIRED to be President. An inherently MALE characteristic is the most desirable in a leader. And in order for a female to be considered "worthy" it must be at least insinuated that she possesses MALE characteristics - even body parts.
So why no outrage about these statements? I find them awful. If someone accused me of having testicles, I'd throw an absolute FIT.

Coy? It's obvious she hushed Bayh on "testicular fortitude." She hasn't said a word on "cojones," |
