Right-wing blowhards are having a tough time with this whole women-in-power thing in Congress

“Cat Person” laid out the ways men can pretend to tolerance of and even affection for women while also seething with sexist resentment of their power.

The “Cat Person” parable is germane this week. As the new Congress convenes, with a record 102 women taking office, a crew of men in right-wing media and politics seems to believe they’ve tolerated this whole women-in-power exercise for too long.

No wonder Pelosi is running the House, Warren is running for president, Tlaib is calling it as she sees it, and Ocasio-Cortez is dancing. Their enemies are losing strength, while they’re gaining it.

If Octavio-Cortez were a Republican, Virginia Heffernen would be mocking her 24/7. If a Republican used the MF word about a Obama, she would be filled with righteous indignation.

I’m old enough to remember the “right-wing blowhards” fully getting behind Sarah Palin while the lefists a-holes viciously attacked her.

Our issue is with socialism and Cultural Marxism. The sex of office holders is irrelevant to us.

******************************************

Apparently, to them, the two issues are inseparable.
And, historically, that was held to be true too. The *entire* reason the socialists began the push for universal suffrage was because of the belief that females were natural born socialists.

I they are going to talk the talk then they better be ready to walk the walk.

First place to start is ending Title 9.

It's time to put up or shut up!

Virginia HefferFrontHole, October 23, 2018:

HRC’s messaging wasn’t ineffective. She won the popular vote in a landslide & Trump cheated to win the electoral vote, in which—we now know—Russian interference was decisive.

She's a gibbering loon.

Actually, a civics test plus questions specifically about the current election before voting would make sure that the voter had the knowledge to participate.

Preferred the land-owner criteria but that ship has sailed.

I also know many women that should vote and many men that shouldn't.

Perfect example. Nothing wrong with this video. She was in college. But conservatives just HAVE to comment one way or another. Ignore her! Stop giving her oxygen!!

Every single assumption she makes, is demonstrably wrong.’

I could get no farther than this:

“Understandably anxious about impeachment, Republicans decried Tlaib. They pretended not to mind her political zeal, though; it was her coarseness they took umbrage at.”

She and I live in completely different universes.

Yes, a galuxee far removed from reality. You decide if it’s you or he/she/them/they that is there. ;-) Must be awful to be so self loathing.

And, she didn’t fall off. Still think she may be the LRU (line replacement unit) for shotgun joe as the new gaffe-O-matic.

I have yet to meet a single woman whom I would trust to vote for policies bolstering individual liberty (and responsibility) and free markets were it not for the influence of a productive male in their life. And that includes my wife.

Yeah, if she was in college 20 years ago. The fact that she is only a few years removed from that performance, with nothing but a brief career as a bartender to indicate any growth in maturity or seriousness since then, is pretty starkly highlighted by that video.

To grownups, anyway. Seems like precious few of them left in this culture.
