There are obviously a lot of factors involved, and this is far from a black-and-white issue, but to say that it's a myth is exasperating. Again, it is 2016 and for the first time in our country's history we have a major party with a female presidential nominee. She's ludicrously experienced, has proven herself at every level of public service, and yet she's being graded unfairly on a curve against a man who lives in his own world entirely averse to facts and reality.
And even at that, we have glorious things like this:
The good old "but ladies and their hormones" pearl-clutching. Of course this particular person doesn't seem to grasp that Hillary wouldn't have had "that time of the month" in probably two decades, but that's neither here nor there. These same people panicking about Clinton's hormone levels dictating her policy seem to be fine with a man who threw a temper tantrum about an SNL skit.
Regardless of the extent of the "wage gap," women are often held to a different standard than men, and this election is a golden example of such. |
I mean, how do you deal with a person that doesn't even understand menopause? Is it cos of the failing school system? But, isnt Trump platforming for school choice, which is implicitly, "I wanna teach my kids what I believe," rather than anything based in Science?
Like whoa.
