A lot of misogyny is unconscious. Some of the most vicious misogeny is from women towards other women. One insidious form of it is “selective feminism” - a theoretical support of other women that really only applies to women that we like.

It's been extremely difficult watching you and Tulsi be erased from this primary season, but history has been written and I know we will look back and see that you both helped to rewrite the rules. 🙌🙏

I support *people* based on who they are and their ideas/decisions. I don't support a woman (or a man) based on their gender. In politics or out, it is your character that counts.

I think you make a fantastic surrogate Marianne. I would love to see you more involved in politics not less

This is why in politics I stick to #policyoverparty. Warren did not stick with M4A. Therefore, she did not get my vote. I would whole-heartedly vote for a woman who truly and unwaveringly supporting Bernie's policies. I don't look at gender before policy.

Yes! It was particularly ugly in the institution of "work". As an HR exec, I was pained by how women would tear each other down at work, instead of lifting upwards. Seems a leftover for "competing for the best males" biologically.

Ok I support you but I must admit that I did not understand the topic or the subject. That is ok as it is just like talking to my wife and daughter. They are way over my head as well. They keep me around because I am lovable!

So you're voting Nikki Haley in 2024? Nice!
