Her shoes are very important, too. People are obsessed with Patty Murray’s tennis shoes and Palin’s pumps. You cannot wear the proper shoes as a female candidate because regardless of what you choose, your shoes obviously reveal something evil about your character.

You forgot, “She is divorced” and “Her husband was unfaithful.” I mean what kind of a role model for our young girls is that if she can’t keep a marriage together? Far better for our young girls to watch as a harlot like that is slowly ripped into a million pieces over a period of 18 months before the eyes of every one of the planet’s six billion inhabitants — that’s the lesson our daughters really need to take home! Set one toe out of line, and you will be eviscerated in payment for the sins of a man, so don’t even try to achieve! Best to stay home and limit your ambitions, just to stay safe!

A woman’s voice is also never correct, because it’s a woman’s voice. Hillary cackled and inspired a “testicle lockbox” and a “eunich choir.” Sarah Palin is called “screechy, annoying, and finger nails on a chalkboard.”
Many women who do public speaking wind up taking voice lessons just trying to find that perfect pitch. That can be really valuable because your voice is a powerful tool and learning how to use it is a good thing, but for women we’re likely to be criticized no matter how perfect we make our voices sound.

You are all right sadly. Can you hear the talking heads talking about “his accent is so thick I can’t understand him” or “from his voice I assume he is black (or gay)”. No, that would be absolutely bigoted and not politically correct. But “I can’t stand her voice”, “she sounds screechy”, “her voice reminds every guy of his ex-wife”….. well those comments are apparently just fine with the politically correct “progressive” crowd.

Bes that brings up to denounce everyone who complains about a woman’s voive, shoes, marriage status, looks wardrobe, financial, inheritage, experience and all other categories as “bigoted”. call it sexist, but bigoted is very interesting. because everyone understands “bigoted” for sexism we need to run sensitivity training sessions.
should we rate MSM outlets on a thermometer how much sensitivity training they need to recognize sexism or bigotedness adressed to females.
I think the term “bigoted” works best to describe Liberal/Progressive people who comment about women candidates voices or other of a hundred irrelevant details. “Progressives” do know what the term sexist means but they either pride themselves on being sexist or they immediately go into defense mode (NOW and Brown campaign)where they come up with hundreds of excuses for their behavior. However “Progressives” can’t stand the idea of being bigoted so it is a more effective way to label their behavior if you want to cause them to change. With Republicans you can label the behavior “sexist” and they will then understand that it is not acceptable in civil society which they actually value.

LOL, that’s a great cartoon. Sad but true.

Very True Optixmom you hit the nail on the head.
