(8,879 posts)As if a female President of the United States (if that were to happen) would be responsible for domestic duties, such as decorating. Gee, it is not like she would have more important things to do!

(11,417 posts)If I asked if Bernie will decorate the White House is that sexist?
I think people have a hard time with females in rolls that were previously male.
Hillary will probably be our first female President. If she decorated the White House as First Lady that's what we would expect. If we ask will she do it again as President that is sexist because in the past the president was a man and we did not think he would decorate the White House. So to not be sexist we have to assume Hillary as president will not decorate the White House. If we ask will Bernie decorate the White House we are perplexed. Sexist or not?
I think it is sexist to see decorating the White House as not the President's job because in the past the president was a man.
