Condoleezza Rice on #MeToo: 'Let's not turn women into snowflakes'
CNN ^ | 1/13/2018

Posted on 01/13/2018 3:19:57 PM PST by GoldenState_Rose

Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said that while she believes the #MeToo movement is "a good thing," people need "to be a little bit careful" about how they respond to it.

"Let's not turn women into snowflakes. Let's not infantilize women," Rice insisted during an interview with CNN's David Axelrod on "The Axe Files," which airs at 7 ET Saturday night.

Rice said she didn't want "to get to a place that men start to think, 'Well, maybe it's just better not to have women around.' I've heard a little bit of that. And it, it worries me," she told Axelrod.

If Condeleeza was the Republican nominee one day I can easily see myself voting for her.

If men are smart they will not hire women or be anywhere near them alone.

I know plenty of women capable of defending themselves. The whole movement reduces them to wallflowers.

No. not all women subscribe to the knee-jerk witch-hunts. Contrary to what liberals think, they don’t need the government to defend themsleves.

Frankly, I wouldn’t vote for her for Chicago Parking Meter Patrol; but that’s just me.

She was so tied to the Bush one world BS thing, I can’t see trusting her.

Maybe she has changed now that she is free of that regime.

>>”Let’s not turn women into snowflakes. Let’s not infantilize women,”

Condi needs to visit a college campus. The Snowflake movement is young women and hipster men who want in their pants.

She’s first class. She’s the one who pushed for Tillerson.

Nope. As much as I admire her accomplishments, she was a Bush Bot. I can’t forget, and I rarely forgive. ;)

Commissioner of Baseball? (Which is her dream.) You Go, Girl! But leave the vast majority of us alone.

If a man is smart he will have at least 2 young female chaperones when he is alone with a woman or at work with a woman...

Not only that, but we will need cameras and microphones in the room as well. We will need this evidence in case any allegations ever come up.

Off topic, but earlier this year, the liberals sneered at Mike Pence never meeting with a woman alone. They mocked his reasoning that bad things can happen if he’s alone with a woman who is not his wife. I wonder what they think now of Pence and his doing things that way.

Too late, ladies. Many men are looking forward to sex robots (sadly)

If she is, then she isn’t paying attention or her statement is a forlorn hope that reality isn’t real.

She said her dream job was Commissioner of the NFL, but I don’t know that she ever meant that even slightly seriously.... anyway nowadays, most of us could not care less who will be NFL comm., sadly.

"I wonder what they think now of Pence and his doing things that way."

Just as they, in their "resisting" the Trump Presidency, will never be principled enough to refuse, or donate, the huge increases in their 401k's--increases which are the direct result of the market's trust in the Presidency, by the same token, they will never acknowledge that Pence's ideas are worthy.

Hatred does not produce good! "Ideas have consequences." - Weaver
