2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: As a woman who fought for gender equality in the 1970s let me define sexist for you.... [View all]Something for the next moderator(s) to consider. Anderson Cooper seemed unwilling to mean it when he repeated to Clinton her time was up. And that happened several times.
Off topic, but I wonder if anyone tabulated the speaking time each candidate took.

Standing up for yourself while being interrupted is not the same as a snarky comment.

Is that to be read "we'll wail and gnash our teeth hoping to influence the way it plays out?"

Thank you for clarifying that! I certainly prefere it being a misunderstanding than the alternative.

You cannot take the high road on this because you have played the gender card.

It's not sexist to treat a woman disrespectfully, but it IS sexist to call someone out for doing it?

Who says she can't handle herself? I haven't heard her complain about this - it's an observation
