Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand: Bernie Sanders Not Qualified for Gun Control Advocacy Because He’s a Man

Article here. Excerpt:

'Gillibrand wants the debate over gun control to be refashioned into a “women’s issue,” instead of a complicated dispute related to hunting or the Second Amendment.
...
She suggests Sanders’ maleness prevents him from relating to mothers who have lost loved ones to gun crime. She also states that he “doesn’t have the sensitivity he needs to the horror that is happening in these families,” adding, “I just don’t think he’s fully getting how horrible it is for these families.”'

If the good senator had said something similar about blacks, well, she'd be tarred and feathered.

But men, especially white men--well, they're fair game.

So, Kirsten believes that it is women and only women who have children and grieve when said children are the victim of a violent crime? Wow. How insulting! Someone as ignorant and solipsistic as that has no business in politics, IMO.
