Dear DU: Here is a teeny-tiny thing you can do to fight subconscious everyday misogyny. [View all]

Here is a list of names. What do you think?
Bush, Obama, Biden, Hillary, Trump, Kamala, Schumer, Nancy

Have you noticed? We have normalized that women are refered to by their first-name but men by their last-name.

Why?

Addressing someone by their last-name is considered respectful, so why do we go out of our way to NOT refer to female politicans by their last name?



Do the right thing. Be respectful.
