What the fuck are you talking about? Nobody mentioned quotas. Quotas always come up when non-white people and women are mentioned, as if that’s the only way we can have a job.

I’m not even wearing lipstick right now.
Orrin Hatch, who recently declared that the senate should not even hold hearings on a nominee, on Garland
I like his name. He sounds like someone from Anne of Green Gables.
Oh honey it’s cute you think we’re upset about women not getting paid as much. We’re upset that this illustrates a giant bias many of us have been pointing out consistently. Bernie not having women in top positions tells me he has some internal biases that frankly horrify me because none of his supporters want to…
He is a visionary and an idealist. Something very exciting for voters. He is not, I don’t think, an executer. He shouts that the governor of Michigan needs to resign. Clinton sends her staff there to help them navigate working with the feds. She also posts links to Flint fundraising. Sure she is pandering but at least…
Have to say that I’m really, really disappointed in the Sanders campaign for its lack of self-awareness while filling the senior positions entirely with men.
This describes my views so perfectly and so much more eloquently than I can.
Especially because they give him credit for voting progressively. How is that impressive at all? Our candidate SHOULD believe women deserve paid leave, fair pay and bodily autonomy. What has Bernie done during his time in government to advance the rights of women?
I know this is an unpopular concept among a lot of people voting in this election cycle, but . . . “the establishment” makes the fucking laws. You can fight that, but it’s not going to change any time in our lifetimes. (And whoever wins the election this year, even if they’re not “establishment” now, will quickly…
In the context of his crime policies and voting record, I read, in a recent article, this tendency described as “benign neglect,” which I think is quite an insightful term. He’s not malicious — when called for, he supports women, their rights, and equality. But he really doesn’t care beyond that; they’re incidental…
I love how it can be assumed that because a campaign has so many women it MUST BE to “give off an impression of equity”. It couldn’t possibly be because she has a network that includes a lot of women, seeing as she’s been in such a male dominated landscape for so long. And it must be pandering, and not that she…
Yes! Are we to assume that he’ll pick an all male cabinet? Why wouldn’t he if he clearly need Romney’s binders right now.
no it doesn’t. women aren’t in positions of influence in his campaign. That is a huge red flag if you care about gender equality.
EXACTLY!! And everyone is going to scream about his voting record, but like...voting correctly and actually taking an active role in these issues are 2 very different things.
He says what everyone wants to hear without realistic plans to implement them. So when he actually has a chance to implement something progressive, like equal pay and positions for men and women, why would he expect supporters to pay attention to the details when he doesn’t need to?
ilu simply for “somebrody”
The results for Bernie illustrates my problem with him. He talks a great game but he doesn’t exactly inspire by his actions. Focusing on economic issues while overlooking systemic discrimination and unconscious biases is going to result in white males benefiting the greatest. I’m not comfortable with taking a backseat…
