Carey Roberts: Sexism rife within the Democratic Party

Article here. Excerpt:

'Sadly, Democrats have become sold on the use of anti-male clichés as their short-sighted strategy to ballot-box success.

Here's Hillary Clinton in 2005: "Research shows the presence of women raises the standards of ethical behavior and lowers corruption." Remember the quip she made about "evil and bad men" made at an Iowa campaign stop? And in New Hampshire, she commented, "I don't know about you, but I like seeing women in charge." (Just imagine the ruckus if candidate John McCain had proclaimed, "I don't know about you, but I like seeing white men in charge.")

Consider Democratic pols like Nancy Pelosi who express misandrist put-downs that range from the haughty ("I didn't come to Congress to change the attitudes of men.") to the imperious ("By electing a woman Speaker, my colleagues turned the old system upside down.")
...
The reason for all this, of course, is the Democratic Party has morphed into the political arm of the National Organization for Women. Democratic candidates casually make sham claims that paint men as ogres and tyrants: "women in the workplace are victims of wage discrimination," "wives suffer from an epidemic of domestic violence," "females were routinely excluded from medical research," and so forth.'

Roberts needs to address the misandry only, not so much the politics.

though I do agree the dems in power are a bunch of honorary women.

axolotl:

You meant to say ornery women right not honorary.

I happen to agree with you though on the political slant.
Misandry is rampant worldwide not jut in the USA.
