I agree with you democrattotheend Jun 2016 #1

Okay. 99Forever Jun 2016 #2

If you're voting for inequality and discrimination, I have nothing to offer beyond contempt. nt procon Jun 2016 #5

Ya, because he thought that argument was brilliant. Lordy. Nt seabeyond Jun 2016 #20

"My problem" is that you openly discriminate based on gender? 99Forever Jun 2016 #58

Look at yourself; still ordering women around. procon Jun 2016 #63

I didn't "order(ing) women around, I asked you a simple question. 99Forever Jun 2016 #67

The desire for knowledge first requires an open mind and tolerance. procon Jun 2016 #68

You could just answer the question instead of twisting yourself into a pretzel... 99Forever Jun 2016 #69

You are talking as if we already have the level playing field, just as Sanders did and his fail. seabeyond Jun 2016 #88

People that discriminate... 99Forever Jun 2016 #95

And you insist on proving that point. boston bean Jun 2016 #96

Ignoring fact doesn't win your argument. seabeyond Jun 2016 #97

I asked a perfectly valid question of the OP. 99Forever Jun 2016 #106

No. And I told you why it is not a perfectly valid question. Yet you ignore reasoning again. seabeyond Jun 2016 #107

You are not the judge here. 99Forever Jun 2016 #112

Opinion is not fact 99. You argue opinion. I gave you fact. seabeyond Jun 2016 #114

Right. Because we know that sexism against women is a thing of the past. athena Jun 2016 #30

Yes, I do have a problem with it because that continues discrimination apcalc Jun 2016 #80

Do you believe that reverse-racism is real too? Darb Jun 2016 #100

Where you live, you apparently don't endorse reading comprehension. GaYellowDawg Jun 2016 #133

Ahhh.. isn't that special? 99Forever Jun 2016 #137

How do you respond to someone exclaiming: Herman4747 Jun 2016 #3

Show me where men's privilege have suffered the same discrimination as women. procon Jun 2016 #4

This isn't about discrimination!!! (Unless you're deliberately... Herman4747 Jun 2016 #7

You don't even recognize that you are part of the problem, do you? procon Jun 2016 #12

Well, thanks for the insult. But... Herman4747 Jun 2016 #16

To think that being a woman is a mere matter of anatomy athena Jun 2016 #50

Dude, you are the best. Nt seabeyond Jun 2016 #24

It isn't about discrimination for you. Says it all. seabeyond Jun 2016 #21

People vote for men because of their gender all the time. athena Jun 2016 #32

Okay. Does the tendency of others to discriminate by sex... Herman4747 Jun 2016 #37

Oh, so you think that sexism is a thing of the past! athena Jun 2016 #43

Why do you change the subject to Congress? Herman4747 Jun 2016 #45

You're the one trying to change the subject. athena Jun 2016 #46

You asked but a single question, which I had thought was rhetorical: Herman4747 Jun 2016 #62

I made points, to which you did not respond. But I will respond to your so-called "questions". athena Jun 2016 #76

stop digging..... Florencenj2point0 Jun 2016 #77

Faulty logic here. Just because men were elected it does not follow that gender was the criteria. TheKentuckian Jun 2016 #70

Why, then have we had 44 male presidents? athena Jun 2016 #79

No question sexism has played a giant role especially considering for quite a few of the 44 TheKentuckian Jun 2016 #91

The candidates are not close. athena Jun 2016 #108

I also think it is either lazy or fingers in the ear to throw around misogyny TheKentuckian Jun 2016 #136

No one would be supporting Sanders if he were a woman. athena Jun 2016 #138

I require no agreement to be correct. I hope you find a way to value who you are and TheKentuckian Jun 2016 #139

I have no idea what you're talking about. athena Jun 2016 #140

Depends. In the days of JFK,gender and looks were def. factors. MichiganVote Jun 2016 #84

I was absolutely thrilled to vote for Obama, not least BECAUSE he was black. The same with Hillary. Squinch Jun 2016 #90

I'm sorry, but claiming sexism against men when throughout history, we have had 44 males presidents boston bean Jun 2016 #98
