(151,477 posts)As for competent women who have been Secretary of State, I give you Madeline Albright and Hillary Cinton. I would mention Condoleeza Rice, but she was appointed by a Republican.
But, my post was a play on "Send a boy to do a man's work." Had I used that, instead of what I did say, then I could be accused of sexism for failing to recognize women who have served in our highest diplomatic office. So, I played a little game with an old saying.
In the second place, Jared Kushner is not a Secretary of State. A person in that position is generally who deals with negotiations at that level. Jared Kushner is just the President's son-in-law, and is completely unqualified for the job of negotiating peace between Israel and Palestine. He has no training or experience that would suit him for it.
My post is devoid of sexism. It is a commentary on the lack of qualifications of Jared Kushner. Since we have had women who have served well as Secretaries of State, my switching genders in playing with an old saying is as far removed from sexism as I can possibly go.
So, again, I reject your criticism as misplaced.
