Women don’t understand the term “entry level.” They think it means “stuck in some shit job forever.” When it really means: “get some experience in how things work instead of coming from your PhD program and telling how you think they work.”

Spanberger is running against a black woman. Why are Spanberger’s challenges mentioned, but not Winsome Sears’?

Yup. Great truth in a movie, a rarity.

Part of the problem is the long-standing insistence on the Left that only a strident, doctrinaire feminist counts as a “woman”. Note the treatment accorded Sarah Palin and the comic (now, it was infuriating at the time) insistence that despite bearing five children she was not a woman. Compare the similar treatment accorded Winsome Sears now. If you’re going to set stupid standards you get stupid results.

These twits can’t define what a woman is but complain women are unfairly judged. They are the embodiment of the reason sane people won’t vote for such trash candidates.

Actually, I am seeing two names. So it appears that it took 2 female brains to compose this garbage article.

That’s why I’m convinced republicans will have the first woman president. We don’t get into the first nonsense. Democrats are obsessed over being first instead of choosing a qualified woman.
