44. What's this have to do with the Iraq war vote?
Mon Jul 18, 2016, 08:57 AM
Jul 2016

There are plenty of examples of sexism against Hillary.

It's silly, and counterproductive to label this sexism when Trump would (and has) acted this way with ALL his opponents thus far. He is sexist, but this particular action is just Trump being caught in his bluster. He doesn't care who voted for the Iraq war; it's just something to jab at Hillary with.

Our voices are trivialized by knee-jerk cries of sexism. We need to be taken seriously when we point out actual examples of sexism - and there are many!
