Good thing she didn’t cry herself:
She handled that well but I’m not a fan of using children thus. Kinda icky.
“Why do you think Clinton is having trouble reaching young women?
Okay Hillary, got it, you want to play the socialism card again. We all get it, you deserve to win, no one else, you’re the best, blah blah blah. Good luck on stealing the nomination, hope nothing gets out that might implicate you. Well......anything else.
For what?
Was it reductive of Gloria Steinem when she said ladies were only for Bernie for the BOYS? I think all this pearl clutching over the use of the word uterus is the disingenuous part. Hillary’s the one bringing up her vag all the time. So why can’t we all make the point she shouldn’t be prez just cause she has one? I am…
Yeah, because this place isn’t known for “no one cares about your boner” and I have NEVER, EVER heard someone say “because of his penis” before. Wow, you guys are really on a roll on this one.
Well he was kinda quoting a woman who said that to him...
Of course, there are no men who can know what it’s like to be in that position. However, Sanders is openly advocating for 12 weeks paid parental leave through a 2.2% income tax across the board. Clinton has yet to release any concrete plans or policies to the effect of providing new parents with paid leave.
That’s Clinton’s stance, “I’m a woman, therefore, I’m a feminist, therefore you women should vote for me.” Sadly Steinem, and not-so-surprisingly Albright have hopped on that narrative. Mike’s statement was a call to evaluate the efficacy of claiming one is a social ally who is telling you to “be patient” resting on…
Ok but like....women are people, and people are sometimes stupid and too emotional about shit. Being a feminist doesn’t mean you never criticize other women or question why they’re pissed about something. In my feminist opinion, this uterus comment is not worth getting upset over. That’s not a gendered judgment…
I actually do see Hillary’s gender as a point in her favor—having more diversity represented in the most powerful positions in our government is a valid and important end in and of itself. It’s just that that one point is vastly outweighed, in my eyes, by all the points that go in Sanders’s favor when it comes to…
I wish I could give this comment more stars.
All I’m saying is that it’s probably better that we don’t all just lose our shit over the word “uterus.” Last I checked, it is not a slur, and I don’t think that Mike, or Elliott (the woman he was quoting) meant it as such.
And saying Hillary’s female-perspective may be an asset to the presidency is not the same as demanding women ‘vote with their vaginas’. I’m tired of this getting so twisted.
And it doesn’t make you upset that the Clinton camp most definitely did say women should only vote for her?
you’d better fucking believe it
We are the team that drinks before noon, right?
Team “oh for the love of god” checking in.
