And as everyone knows, you're entitled to your view.

Do you disagree with me? If so, why not just state your case? Incontrovertible truths such as "you're entitled to your view" or "you're free to breath air" will never change my mind.

I believe you.

Careful: THEY are trying to make the issue, We're not enlightened enough to elect a WOMAN....

Whereas we have to keep reminding people the issue, not THAT woman.

The U.S. has a much lower rate of women in the legislature than most industrial democracies. What is not well-known is that we have a much higher representation of women in the leadership ranks in business than all of those other countries for which I have seen data.

ready to catch up with the rest of the world...We are behind Rwanda and Sierra Leone and all of Latin America

The rest of the world is basically a sh*thole...and "catching up with it" is something to be avoided.

The premise of this piece is that being female is, by itself, a job qualification. It follows that being male is necessarily a job disqualification.

This is textbook liberal sexist bigotry.

The liberal mantra:

1. Blacks are more deserving than whites.
2. Women are more deserving than men.
3. Gays are more deserving than straights.
4. Racism, sexism, and sexual orientation bias (e.g. homophobia) are the primary ills of society.

Believing in the first three is proscribed by the fourth. #1 is racist, #2 is sexist, and #3 shows sexual orientation bias. So, it takes real work to achieve the level of insanity necessary to believe these four rules simultaneously.

Not to worry, the MSM works tirelessly to help us all reach and maintain that level of insanity.
