Kamala Harris’ hidden foe: pervasive bias against powerful middle-aged women
UC Berkeley News ^ | 8/15/24 | Edward Lempinen

Posted on 10/18/2024 7:13:28 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Researchers at UC Berkeley find that women who rise through the ranks and succeed win our respect. But these leaders also defy deep-rooted stereotypes — and we penalize them because we see them as less warm, less nurturing.

Palin should have been candidate for President and McShame should have been VP.

She is over 60, she is old enough to not be considered “middle aged.” Well past femopaws.

Kamala is a pipsqueak who thought she could reach the pinnacle with her oral talents. If she wanted to be taken seriously, she would have looked to Margaret Thatcher as a role model; not Stormy Daniels.

Kammie is just low IQ trash -—real women despise her.

She will be 60 on Sunday. She’s old and just another Baby Boomer, not a “new” generation at all.

Good additions to the list, thanks my good FRiend.

Such contrasts can be easily drawn.

I first learned about Margarat Thatcher when I was stationed in England in the late 60s. If I correctly recall, she was a Member of Parliament and known as the "Iron Lady" at the time.

Strength, confidence, academic success, purpose, a dignified life, and no fear of public speaking ...a complete opposite of Mrs. Harris.

Is Kamalala what women aspire to be like?

Ask any woman who is voting for Kamala if she would like people to perceive her as being like Kamala.

Correct. Most people have a lot of respect for women who are level headed and not driven by their emotions.

They are few and far between.

I know several women, who will be voting for Kamala. They are TRULY only voting against Trump, not FOR anything.

Kamala Harris’ hidden foe: pervasive bias against powerful middle-aged women

_______________________________________________

Pretty soon the “hidden foe” list will include hairstyle, height, weight, cheekbones, and whatever lame excuse the left can rationalize.

I'll vote for the exceptional female leader. They do exist. But they're rare.

They're just hardwired in a different way.

We're not allowed to say that.

Anyway, that said, you would think they would put up a better candidate than Hillary or Kamala.

The best I've seen so far is Tulsi Gabbard. But she's too much of a Centrist for the Democratic Party.

Kamala went to a mid level college and law school. She failed her bar exam the first time out. Finally passing she slept her way to the top with one of the most powerful married politicians in California.

What a role model!

That must be in the democrat party since she never won a single democrat primary.

If we have to have a woman president, it should be an intelligent, moral, well versed, accomplished and most of all competent woman, not a cruel parody of womanhood like Hillary or Kamala.

IIRC, a similar line in 2016 with respect to Hillary.

But really it's a bias against middle aged white women.
The 'Karen' stereotype.

Told you Kamala isn't really black. {smirk}

Sounds like you’re saying that not only are they not motivated by the idea of electing the first female president they’re not motivated by any of Kamala’s/Dem’s policies. Just “Orange Man Bad.”

If so it is a shame since their negative perception of DJT is close to 100% fabricated by leftist propaganda.
