Right-wing blowhards are having a tough time with this whole women-in-power thing in Congress
latimes.com ^ | Virginia Heffernan

“Cat Person” laid out the ways men can pretend to tolerance of and even affection for women while also seething with sexist resentment of their power.

The “Cat Person” parable is germane this week. As the new Congress convenes, with a record 102 women taking office, a crew of men in right-wing media and politics seems to believe they’ve tolerated this whole women-in-power exercise for too long.

No wonder Pelosi is running the House, Warren is running for president, Tlaib is calling it as she sees it, and Ocasio-Cortez is dancing. Their enemies are losing strength, while they’re gaining it.

Well, latimes op-ed so there is that. I suppose I could have added a BARF alert.

Heed my warning. They are young enough that they could be thorns for decades. And, allowing them a “double digit IQ” is being very generous of you. ;-)

The Democrat, female Speaker of the House uses the word “tinkle”.

I wonder how world leaders look at her?

When her nudes “private” pics and vids come out it will be epic.
My bet is they will be held over her head as blackmail; by her own party.

Any takers on that bet?

Thank you for referencing that article rktman. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots are reminded that one of the very few powers that the feds actually have to define domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (1.8.7).

The problem is that the low-information women and men who get themselves elected to federal office in the name of becoming heroes by running unconstitutional federal social spending programs to serve the daily needs of the people, winning their votes for reelection, are actually doing so with stolen state powers and revenues. The feds steal state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

In other words, bleeding heart federal lawmakers should have become state lawmakers who uniquely have the 10th Amendment-protected power to tax and spend on behalf of the daily needs of people.

And by trying to do things unconstitutionally through the federal government, federal lawmaking crooks are destroying the constitutional republic.

Patriots, we need to support PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments yesterday.

the male congressman need to start sitting with their legs spread wide and debating loud, strong and hard as men do. Then watch this stupid twit whine that men are too mean to women and women will never be treated fairly.

This is nothing more than misogynistic trash writing.

Leftist like putting women up front to speak because their default response will be to claim sexism and chastise the opposition as attacking women. It relieves them of the responsibility of being sensible.

I live in one of the most conservative, gun-toting, coal-rolling, red-neck rural areas of the country. Some of the ladies [not this girl, tho] wear prayer coverings while out there milking cows, driving tractors, etc. We just re-elected our Congressman — who happens to be a Polish Catholic gal from the city. We elected her because of her accomplishments, not because of her gender or ethnicity.
