Feminist Jessica Valenti ‘Despairing’ That ‘America’s Sexism’ Booted Liz Warren
mrcNewsbusters ^ | March 5, 2020 | Gabriel Hays

Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the 2020 presidential race March 5, and in that instant one could feel a great disturbance in the feminist force, as if a million voices cried out in terror that once again a woman was unfairly blocked out of her shot.

Medium’s Jessica Valenti, a radical feminist with a history of blaming the world’s problems on the patriarchy, let out a loud lamentation about the Senator from Massachusetts’s untimely fate, arguing that her lack of success in the race was the fault of “America’s sexism.” Oh this should be good.

Valenti had apparently staked her mental well-being on the fact that a calculating, unlikable female candidate, with a penchant for lying about her background to get ahead, would beat Donald Trump, just because he’s brutish and she’s a progressive. Too bad.

What happened to Warren was “enough to make me feel, well, despairing: that we had the candidate of a lifetime — someone with the energy, vision, and follow-through to lead the country out of our nightmarish era — and that the media and voters basically outright erased and ignored her,” she wrote.

The media ignored her? She may be the worst candidate ever to be relentlessly puffed by the fourth estate. But Valenti isn’t interested in talking substance but transfixed on the issue being sexism and she won’t budge. “Don’t tell me this isn’t about sexism. I’ve been around too long for that,” she insisted.

This is a textbook example of the limits of identity politics.

If you supported Warren just because she is a woman, do you have to overlook her lying about having Native American heritage (while calling Trump a racist for poking her about it)? What about her claim that she was fired from a teaching job for being pregnant? Or the one about her children going to public school in order to push her proposals against charter schools? Or when she lied about Bernie Sanders telling her that a woman couldn’t be president yet? That doesn’t begin to address her class warfare rhetoric and ruinous economic ideas.

Valenti refused to see any of that though. She doubled down and even complained about sexism shown towards her for supporting Warren. She wrote, “Even just supporting Warren has come with an unbearable amount of misogynist condescension. I’m tired of being told that I’m a single-issue voter because I care about a candidate’s gender, even if it’s not the only thing I care about.”

But here she is complaining that Warren lost because she’s a woman!

Valenti wrote that she wants her daughter to believe that a woman could be president: “I want her to be able to hold on to that optimism because the truth is that I’m fresh out of hope to give her.” Wow. How about teaching her the joy that comes from knowing anti-capitalist liars don’t get too far in an American presidential race? That’s a healthy perspective if ever there was one.

I believe that would properly be “The Democratic Party’s sexism...” as it was a primary race.

Um, hey chickie. Your daughter can still have hope that a woman can be president. It just won't be a lying old hag that pretends to be an Indian but refuses to do the Tomahawk Chop.

Wimmin. If they can’t win, it must be sexism. Can’t be because the female candidate didn’t do enough, or was just a terrible candidate.

Strong and independent and equal, not so much.

Feminists are like militant blacks. They won't be satisfied until EVERY President, and VP, and Senator, and Congressman is female or black (or best of all, both, and a lesbian.) When our entire government is nothing but black lesbian progressives, and we are Venezuela... then they might sit down satisfied. Until then, it's "Sexism!" and "Racism!" all the way.

The fact that the voters of the Democrat party are 60% female, according to Nate Silver's site (or so I heard on talk radio coming home today) seems to escape them: it means WOMEN didn't vote for Elizabeth Warren. In droves.

If the media ignored her then women ignored her. The msm is completely pussy-whipped, misandrist, gynocentric.

Warren is an abrasive big-government lying sack of shit leftist whose voice sounds, whether you're willing to admit it or not, like a mother-in-law shrew.

But yeah, you didn't vote for her because you don't like women. Whatever.

“American sexism” did NOT BOOT Warren.

When are you going to find a real woman, who has class, intelligence, strong principles that work, the ability to speak without screaming ...and a more varied wardrobe...sorry, Ladies, you should look as though you at least CARE about how you appear.

IF YOU CAN FIND THE ABOVE WOMAN IN THE DIM PARTY...NOT BLOODY LIKELY...THEN YOU’LL HAVE A WINNER.

People who believe that having two X chromosomes is the most important qualification for being POTUS are the sexists.

Gender has nothing to do with her failure.

Her failure was based on a lifetime of lying, cheating and deception to gain advantage. The left always pretends that such failure is about race or gender or something similar. The left now has a culture where deception is their specialty.
