Is sexism strictly an American phenomenon? That’s what Whoopi Goldberg asked to former Clinton press secretary Dee Dee Myers. Appearing on the April 22 edition of "The View" to promote her book "Why Women Should Rule the World," Whoopi, noting that there has never been a female president, framed her question in this fashion.

Ummmm, has she ever been to an Arab country? Is she familiar with a religion known as Islam? Has she ever heard of the Taliban?

In fact, things are so enlightened overseas that planeloads of chicks depart the USA every day to cast off their shackles and realize their dreams.

Has she ever been to an Asian country? Has she ever been to macho Mexico? Is it possible that she's as dumb as she is homely?

Is Whoopi uniquely superficial in her thinking? Or are all American Jewish black women with dreadlocks as superficial as she is?

Geez Whoopiez, we only have one president elected every 4 or 8 years for HOW many people? We have many leaders and CEOs and other important women in this country. It’s not about the vagina; it’s about the character and politics of the choice. We really should stop identity politics and elect the best and the brightest. Who cares if they stand up to pee or not?

Ms Woopie...

Could be possible... I mean is there even the slightest chance... is there any way at all, that you might consider a loss by a woman candidate to be even remotely related to her outlook and proposed policies?

Just wondered. If not, then you are willing to slander the majority of voters, rather than accept reality.

Nice job there WOMAN! Who are you to preach to others?

Well, to those in the Vagina Monologue culture, it is all about the vagina. Hillary is a vaginal American. That’s all that matters to some people.

Has anyone ever thought, that with talk of sexism, i.e. some people won’t vote for Hillary since she’s a woman, that there are people out there who are voting for Hillary ONLY because she’s a woman????

Is Whoopi uniquely ignorant and uninformed?

Sadly, no...

Who does Whoopie support for the Dims nominee this year? She probably could learn something from that.

“Whoopi Wonders: Is Sexism Uniquely American?”

This question could only come from someone who is totally, functionally illiterate. If she can read, someone needs to get her a library card.

I have no sexism toward Whoopi. I’ll make her chop wood equally with the rest of the bull-dykes.

Let me see here, if I do not want to vote for Obama I am a racist. If I do not want to vote for Hillary I am a sexist. Just can not win here.

"Do you think that this issue, this, this idea that women can’t do the same things as men is strictly an American idea or is this a worldwide idea?"

Yeah, just an American idea. The rest of the world is renowned for it's empowerment of women, especially the fat, whiny, ignorant liberal ones. Book a flight for Riyadh or Rawalpindi right away to enjoy the empowerment the rest of the world showers on women.

Doesn't The View also feature some woman who was convinced the Earth was flat? The ignorance on display by the women on that show is breathtaking.

Yes of course it is. I mean look at any country with dictatorship, communist leaders, arab states, and just about any other country around the world. They are all filled with women, and not men in the highest position. Sexism is of course America’s problem, and we all hate it for it.

Dee Dee Myers quote: And hopefully at some point in the not too distant future, I don’t know if it will happen this time, but sometime soon hopefully the American people will put aside gender and elect a woman.

Hmm, put aside gender and elect a woman. Maybe we have "put aside gender" and simply haven't liked the 2 whole female, liberal candidates who have run?

Nah, that CAN'T be it!

Yeah, Whoopi. In the entire history of the human race, sexism did not exist. Until the evil US came along, that is. We unenlightened neanderthals invented sexism. As a matter of fact, the freest women on Earth live in Arab countries. sarc/

Don't forget:

If I do not want to vote for McCain I am a cut-nose/spite-face defeatist who wants to see a Dem in the WH.
Talk about a lose-lose-lose situation...

Women have never anywhere had it as good as in America
