Oh, This "Likability" Bullshit

Now presumed presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren is going through what Hillary Clinton did for years.  Now she is not "likable."

This fucking country is totally backward when it comes to women.  Completely and totally backward.  It is still mired in the 1950s bullshit that women's "hormones" prevent them from being leaders of any kind.  Never mind the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.  There are women governors, Nevada has more women in its legislature than men, women are making more inroads in federal offices, and that's for starters.  The plain unvarnished truth is women have been heading countries and empires for centuries, if not thousands of years, if one includes monarchies. The civilizations didn't die because women headed them.

We have a very sexist country in the United States.  Donald Trump's supporters are largely fueled by it (and racism).  This man had no business being anywhere near being a presidential candidate let alone president given he had absolutely NO elected experience, only that he was a media darling and a buddy of Jeff Zucker's.  Zucker, as I have noted previously, was a longtime friend of Trump's going back to Trump's days on the hit NBC show The Apprentice.  The problem is running a country is not a reality TV show--it is reality, and Trump has been a massive, massive failure in this venue.

We have had third world countries that have elected women, and it appears every other country in the world will have had a woman elected president or prime minister before this backward country ever does. It might even be more likely there won't be a United States before a woman is ever allowed to be president. It appears white men in particular have a phobia about this, and it is stupid.
