Even beyond that, a lot of very smart people who research women in politics have been trying to move the conversation in recent years beyond simple descriptive takes (How many women are in parliaments? Has there ever been a female executive?) into deeper and more substantive questions. One of the factors that emerges…

Since I’m in the grays and my original comment will probably never get approved, just want to cosign your post. Representation ALWAYS matters, especially in a traditionally misogynistic institution like the military and Pentagon as a whole.

Still better than some old white dude. There’s gotta be thousands of male imperialist hawks who have worked for defense contractors he could have chosen instead.

May Secretary Flournoy help undermine and, with the House, slowly dismantle the CRs that have led our military to endless, unaccountable war mongering.

I’ve read lots of epically stupid Jezebel posts, but this has to up there. By the logic of this article it wouldn’t be good to have a woman President either, since they’d be “complicit in US imperialism.” You know there will be a Secretary of Defense no matter what, right? And they aren’t going to hire a peace…

Anybody thinking Big Baby Cheezus could pull off a “coup” is deluding themselves, dude is lazier than shit and intimidated by stairs

Former Trump supporters are welcome to join me, but I won’t move an inch to meet them in the middle.

I am really frightened and disgusted by people that say “it’s time to come together”, “let’s heal the nation” and other weak “both sides” nonsense. Trump’s large minority of fascist/republicans are willfully ignorant and are quite frankly, evil in their intent. They don’t care that innocent people are murdered in the…

I can confirm that our goal is absolutely a full-blown matriarchy. First we gain the presidency, then we start oppressing the men.

We start passing laws on what elective medical procedures they can have to erode their bodily autonomy, pay them less so they’re more dependent on us, only test medication on women so it’s …

Right, I completely agree, but as an atheist, I don’t feel qualified to tell people what their religion really says. I have lots of Christian, Jewish, and Muslim friends who are ardent feminists, and if they understand their religions to be pro-women, I’m certainly not going to say they’re wrong. I agree that a…

Also, during the centuries of exclusively male leadership, shit got really fucked up, especially since this last one was so concerned with waving his tiny hands around to make himself feel like Big Manly Man, so I for one would gladly welcome the change.

And do note who made up that rule: men.

What a bunch of whiny little assholes. We’ve had centuries of exclusively male leadership, even if Harris does become president life will go on. Also, if your religion tells you that ‘women voting goes against “God’s ordained order of men being the leaders”’, time to choose a new religion.

Recall his deleted Tweet about the Bolivian coup to get the lithium he wanted.

You sound like a fucking idiot, literally things from this article are public knowledge that he tweeted on his PUBLIC Twitter account, how is that not verified/what constitutes verified to you if not LITERAL words that someone wrote themselves? Stop deep throating the rich daddy’s boy who bought a company with their…

(whispered severely)

Also none of these people (including Musk) “changed the world”, not for the better anyway. They just loved to pose as such, and to take credit for others’ work and achievements, just because they were sociopaths.

Anyone that’s worked around the C-suite knows that most of these people aren’t really geniuses... They’re often very bright, yes, but what really rockets them to the top is being such conniving, insufferable assholes that everyone else gets out of their way.

“Because I’m a mammal.”

Actually, it is true—local police don’t even have the authority to issue an Amber Alert, and it is not used for runaways or parental abductions unless violence is implicated. From the official Louisiana Amber Alert state website:
