Let's take a few moments to watch a maestro at the top of her game

92. You don't seem to know (or care) that you are contributing to dog-whistle sexism

Every time someone (male or female) says something like "she has an irritating voice", or "she's hysterical" or any other statement that points out the simple "female-ness" of a woman and compares it to how much better the "male-ness" is of a man, it is (intentionally or not) signaling that it's still...in 2018(!)...okay to marginalize and discriminate against women for things they can't change, such as their voice or the fact that they pee sitting down. You just joined team Trump and his misogynistic views, did you realize that?

Your comment is the gender equivalent of black stereotypes that I'd assumed we all agreed are WRONG and DAMAGING, so we DON"T ENGAGE IN THEM, not only because it's simply fucked up, but also because it signals to others that it's acceptable to do so.

I don't give a damn about your personal opinion. My beef isn't about your thoughts on Harris as a political figure; think whatever the hell you want. But PLEASE stop giving men (and women who are happy to live in 1950's America cuz' the men-folk are better at running things, you know!) your approval to judge women based on something they have no control over.


A man would do a better job because he has a low, calm voice? OMFG, are you serious??? We are better than this. We NEED to be better than this or women will continue to be denigrated for simply being women. Any lights going on now???
