I find it, well, ironic......

[boston bean]

to put it nicely that

Hillary Clinton can be raked over the coals for something a well admired feminist says.

But Bernie gets a free pass for something said on his behalf that was extremely sexist?????

Isn't it just a tad hypocritical??

Does this possibly show a double standard. A hell of a backwards one to be sure? But double standard none the less?

1. Clinton, a woman, is held to a higher standard than a man. Simple as that. nt

2. Both comments sucked.

3. As per usual, a woman

must be at least twice as qualified and twice as good to get half as far.

4. It would be if that were true, but he is being raked over the coals as well

and I still think it is pretty bad when a woman tries to bully another woman to vote by gender after years of fighting people to stop. I, in my own bigoted way, never expected perfect wording from a rapper. The music business on the whole is completely misogynistic, not even specifying certain rappers who have proven to be bad on this, but the whole business.

5. I find it, well, ironic

that both statements were made by well admired feminists who happen to be female. But only one bothers you.

6. It is a double standard, BB

[libtodeath]

7. I find it ironic that a Democratic candidate is defended here

with rw talking points on a regular basis too.

8. Killer Mike was talking about identity politics.

I agree with the premise. While it will be a great thing when we elect the first woman president, that should not trump our need for radical, transformative change. He's no politician. His career is built on telling the truth in a tough way, but I love him because he really cares about people.

Gloria Steinem was implying that millenial women are weak minded, a la the old Connie Francis hit "Where the Boys Are." I was surprised by Gloria's comment, but it was off the cuff while being interviewed by professional jerk, Bill Maher. I still respect her. She was put in the awkward position of trying to explain away the female millenial support for Bernie. That is not something a Hillary backer can do gracefully, so she was in a no win situation. Still, Gloria is great. And so is Killer Mike.
