[RANT] Male GOP senator on the "tone" and "decorum" of women senators [WATCH & LISTEN]

[IcyPeas]

Senator Dayna Polehanki State Senator, Michigan. Running for re-election in ‘22. Former high school English teacher for 19 years.

For the past few weeks, a male GOP senator has taken it upon himself to step up to the mic & tell women senators
@MalloryMcMorrow, @SenErikaGeiss, @rosemarybayer, and @SenatorSantana
what's wrong with the "tone" and "decorum" of their floor speeches.

I had enough.

7. It's Senator Horn. If you live in Michigan, give him a call and tell him to stop

wasting his time complaining about women's "tone" and voices and do his damn job. Like maybe vote to feed those babies he is forcing women to have.

(That last part was stolen from the Vice headline.)

His number is: By Phone: [phone]

8. Fantastic, I LOVED this, she's right!

[Irish_Dem]

9. Men tried to silence women back in the '60's.

Didn't work back then either.

Senator Dayna is my new hero.

[TeamProg]

10. Wow! Rockin' the idiot Senator's BOAT!! I LOVE IT. n/t

[halfulglas]

11. Ah, yes. If you speak up, you're shrill. If you repeat something to make a point you're nagging.

If your voice shakes a bit with emotion, you're weak. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Claiming our time you jerks.

[Oneironaut]

30. How ungodly!

She should go back to her rightful place as subservient to her husband. lol

/s obviously

[madamesilverspurs]

12. Whoa.

Mansplaining plus GOPsplaining -- her response is remarkably constrained. Her demeanor is far more polite than his rants warrant. And he no doubt now considers himself a victim of verbal abuse. Weinie.

[smirkymonkey]

13. Hear, hear!

Righteous rant! Well done, Senator!

[electric_blue68]

14. Alright, State Senator!

Call out the misoginist(s)!

[McKim]

15. Uppity?

Oh, was she getting too uppity? Time to tone it down to a ladylike level and be nice and feminine?

[padah513]

16. Guys like him are used to having Stepford wives

The shut up and do as you're told, sit there and look pretty kind. A real woman scares them to death.

20. While they're off banging their mistresses. nt

[CTyankee]

17. "Stop whining!"

[MiHale]

18. Sorry I can only rec once...KnR

[Novara]

19. SING IT!

[keithbvadu2]

21. Are there any videos of him ranting about them?

[Hortensis]

22. Lol, what's The Reviled One's name?

Should it matter? As long as she's badmouthing Republicans, and NOT Democrats, it's more than likely justified.

[IcyPeas]

36. see post 7. Senator Ken Horn from Michigan

[world wide wally]

23. Truth is powerful tool

[ShazzieB]

24. Is there video of what the male senator said that she is responding to?

I would love to know what was said that brought this on.

[SpankMe]

25. Outstanding! n/t

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

[Larissa]

31. "We will not be tone-policed!"

Yes, yes, yes!!

[malaise]

32. Wish she had ended with

You are not the boss of women - we are equals here - patronizing piece of shit.

[True Dough]

34. +1

I wonder if that dolt got the message? He'll probably shrug it off and go back to mansplaining.

[czarjak]

37. Words are FOR showing impervious imbiciles the errors of their way. So sad!

[New Breed Leader]

39. RIGHT ON

[PatSeg]

40. We will not be "tone-policed"!

Wow, perfect word for the male condescension so many of us have endured for decades. I will use it whenever the appropriate opportunity arises. Good for her!
