She didnt say they were, she said it was possible, a little bit of difference there and a misleading title there.






The headline was a bit deceptive, but that is not new for NewsMax. The part that bothered me was listing her qualifications as the first woman who did this, the first woman who did that, etc. That is sexist. To say that it is possible that her opponents might be motivated by sexism and then to go on and make a sexist argument in support of her is a little too much for me. Those who support Justice Brown do not do so for gender related reasons.

I do not think that is sexist, not in the least, but you also must look at it in the context of the conversation also. The conversation is about her qualifications, and to the lesser extent what Matt Lauer dragged out of her, about chauvinism. So what if she pointed out that she was the first woman to do this or that, it doesnt lessen the argument one iota. They werent lies, they werent exaggerations, they were point blank facts. If it was a male candidate they would be ointing out his qualifications, and by doing so they wouldnt be taking a male centric point of view. THe fact that you and so many here are so insulted by the facts of the matter is frankly astonishing, and it belittles you to take such a insignificant matter, and blow it up into some feminazi screed is very disheartening.
