I'd dearly love for Mothers (and more enlightened Fathers) to pay attention to this in their young sons. (though women can occasionally be the problem as well).

We won't get a 5'4" male president. We won't get an unattractive one. It is very sad but that is the way it is.

IMHO, of all of the presidents over the last 50+ years, only Clinton and W could be considered moderately attractive. While the others weren't hideous, most were about average, or less, in physical attractiveness.

I'm NOT referring to character, personality, etc.

set the rules and impose penalties on those not complying. You slap these assholes down enough times and maybe they will start to get the message. This is nothing more than a show of disrespect to women on the court, just like it is everywhere else. Maybe it will take a female court majority to enact some of this stuff.

I hate seeing jerks (like Roberts) letting this stuff go on just so they can ride in at the last minute playing the hero. It is just as misogynistic as those exhibiting the bad behavior.
