Doesn’t Matter Who Wins the K Race; We’re All the Same

He's going to have a very hard time stepping back into politics by painting himself as the victim here. Maybe he doesn't want to get back into politics. He certainly doesn't need anything from it.

Maybe he just wants to say what he never had a chance to say because Schumer and Gillibrand fucked him.

Pretty sure I never said he was whining, but you're missing the sexism involved labeling things shrill and hysterical. No, there is no inverse that applies to men.

I'm not missing the sexism. I believe both men and women can be shrill, hysterical, and can whine. You assume sexism because you find sexism everywhere you can, for the slightest of reasons. Let me assure you, I have exactly as much respect for both sexes. Which is very little.

Sexism, like racism, is actually everywhere.

Put a pin in that. Because I'm almost done with White Fragility (which I've enjoyed quite a bit and found really well reasoned and well written, and enlightening and mind changing in some regards, btw), and I think she's highlighted some unique facets of racism that render your comment here a bit too blunt and general. (Racism is everywhere, but I'm not sure sexism is everywhere in the same unique way.)

But I haven't finished yet (reading four books at once right now), so I'll wait until I've completed to comment.
