"Elliott’s response does illuminate the strategy behind Trump and Sanders’ secondhand sexism, though: If you want to belittle an opponent through misogynist rhetoric but don’t want the backlash, don’t do it yourself—repeat someone else. But as Killer Mike’s case demonstrates, it’s hard to keep sexism at arm’s length while reaping its rewards."

2. Leave it to them to make degradation of women societally acceptable

They've never accepted equality across the board & never ever will.

Yet, Steinem had to walk hers back as did John Lewis.

Double standard. Sanders/Trump is not one election I am looking forward to.

8. Yeah but-but-but...it's...it's - CLINTON!!11

Hillary doesn't promise "free stuff".

He does.

Ergo, he's better'n her!

6. km even pawned it off as being something someone else said. A familiar tactic

We all see Trump use the tactic frequently. Some people say blah blah but not me. or So and so said blah blah blah but I'm not going to say it. I mean he clearly just said it but we're too stupid to get that?

It's the weakest possible form of plausible deniability.

7. Every woman who has used vagina or uterus to belittle voters for HRC is a traitor, imo.

I hate fake feminists who think they are so edgy, they get to throw women under the bus for irony. That just opens the door to hipster misogyny, and that train is hardly ever fucking late anyway. You give tacit permission to let a man use the same rhetoric, and you lose your complain about patriarchy card, as far as I'm concerned.

9. That's the 'cool girl' phenomenon

"I'm not like those other prisses, I'm cool, see I'm one of the guys." Nope. Doesn't work like that.
