SocraticGadfly: Yes, Virginia, sexism in politics exists

Yes, Virginia, sexism in politics exists

Likely, Hillary Clinton did get screwed to some degree, because of it, and not just from any “Clinton baggage.”

LiveScience says:
A new Pew survey finds that when it comes to honesty, intelligence and a handful of other key traits valued in leaders, the public rates women as superior to men.

And, women are even rated better on such “male” qualities as decisiveness.

Yet, only 6 percent of Americans say women make better political leaders.

Yes, there still is sexism out there.

And, Joe Biden probably wasn’t the best Veep pick to address that issue. Still think B.O. should have gone wit Sebelius.

But, I’m voting Green anyway.
