The moment a woman starts running for the presidency, she becomes ‘unlikable’. A woman is too stern, or not stern enough; she just can’t get it right. In 2016, Warren was every liberal Hillary hater’s way of refuting claims of sexism. Now that Warren is running, she’s no longer likable enough, stern enough, savvy enough, you name it. What surprises me is how short everybody’s memory is. The hypocrisy is sickening.
