"respect" for Michelle Wolf set you off?

No one needs to "provoke" a rant on Michelle Wolf from you, other than post an OP saying that one agrees with her.

Women don't need to be mansplained on what is and is not "criticism of a working mom's looks" here on DU.

To mansplain to women on DU that a female spokesperson of the White House needs men like you to "protect her" from some mean female comic is demeaning, by any measure, to that spokesperson, and to the women being mansplained to.

Far more than any joke a lady comedian could make concerning eye makeup that is very popular now.

Is that clearer?

It's sad that you feel the need to delete your reply to me here on DU. This is a website for progressives.

Did you think that your post would be perceived as something else?

Sooo we are to believe that her makeup is described as looking like ashes from burning lies..... ollie10 Apr 2018 #4
