Oh, this is about Michelle Bachman! I thought it was about the very fashionable Michelle Obama.

Professional women have to deal with and master so much more crap than men do.

How so? I fully agree that historically some women occasionally faced a hostile work environment but what does that have to do with some English fob commenting on a politician's wardrobe selection?

When you see fashion shows on TV what is it about most of the time? Women's fashion! In beauty pageants, why do they have the evening gown competition? Why do they even have beauty pageants?

Do you ever hear a man say, "Do these pants make my butt look too wide? "

Who dominates the "shopping gene"? What do they usually buy? Things that affect their appearance, most of the time! Clothes, jewelry, makeup, etc.

I am afraid you have let the Feminists incorporate you into a victim group.

Your misogyny is showing.

No man in politics gets every little sartorial choice, down to his shoes, put through such scrutiny. Men simply put on a dark suit, clean shirt and acceptable tie and keep their hair cut short and they’re good to go.

Women, however, have to have a wide array of carefully selected clothing, just the right makeup, accessories, and hair plumped just right—and they’re still open to niggling evaluation and criticism.

No back to your cave!
