I didnt say that misogyny has anything to do with judging her abilities. I am saying that misogyny emerges in the manner of criticismused by many who hold her abilities in low regard. This is a thing a lot of insecure men do to women in general.
I do like strong women and direct women, who don't do sexual favours for promotions. They got promotions through hard work and on merit. I call them ball-breakers. |

I appreciate your support, Wyot. Thank you. And I agree with your comments.
It seems that even some black men may have a problem with Kamala Harris because she's a woman.
Obama tells men to drop ‘excuses’ and support Kamala Harris over Trump |

On Trump and his lies, well yes he knows how to spin plenty of yarns I'll not disagree with that but if anyone thinks Harris, and Walz too, have not been fabricating all kinds of claims in the past month or two they haven't been paying attention. Too many to mention infact, from guns and fracking to making things up about his personal backstory in Walz case time and again that are provably untrue yet are brushed aside as just mis-speaking when called out.
What's happening in the States at the moment is that Trump is so demonised by vast numbers of opponents that anyone will do to get rid of him and they (Democrats) are proving unable to see the quite clear flaws in their own candidate, although I think many know it deep down in just the same way they all knew it about Biden's age and declining mental aptitude but chose to ignore it until it blew up in their faces on TV and they could no longer pretend. |

Maybe because Harris is useless and out of her depth. She could put her election policies into action, Biden is still in charge...right?
Perhaps so GM but there is also misogyny - it's in the language, the comparisons. |
