I was asked by a reporter today if my running for Congress is a "vanity campaign." Would a man ever be asked that question?

@marwilliamson I think not. I also think many men would not ask that question.

No! “@marwilliamson: I was asked by a reporter today if my running for Congress is a "vanity campaign." Would a man be asked that question?”

@marwilliamson @EverydaySexism probably not, but a question like that will not derail you. You have strength, vision, empathy.

@marwilliamson Heck no! Go get 'em, Marianne. You are a DYNAMO, and we believe in you and your vision. :)

Absurd! RT @marwilliamson: I was asked by a reporter if my running for Congress is a "vanity campaign." Would a man be asked that question?

@marwilliamson curious if the reporter was a man or a woman...
Replying to @marwilliamson
@marwilliamson no he wouldn't. It's because he sees you are successful already and doesn't understand the good you intend you do!
Replying to @marwilliamson
@marwilliamson Perhaps more men *should* be asked that...
