A nice thing about the inter webs is that I can find people who are much better at articulating what I think and feel, and also give me perspective I have never thought of or encountered.

Why Killer Mike’s “Uterus” Comment Matters
“…The now viral comment rapper Killer Mike made at a Bernie Sanders’ rally that “having a uterus doesn’t qualify a woman to be president” constitutes crass sexism; reducing a very qualified Hillary Clinton to a body part. That Killer Mike quoted another woman in advancing a sexist argument doesn’t make it less sexist. Worse is the disrespect to Clinton’s achievements. Few women or men could match up to her qualifications. Which begs the obvious question – why does having a penis make a man qualified?
Barbara Lee’s nonpartisan research foundation has consistently proven that:
“W]omen running for president must show their expertise in traditionally male-dominated areas like the economy, while also showing their prowess on “women’s issues,” like health care and education — plus, everything else. For women candidates, the devil really is in the details.”
“If Sanders were a woman running for president, he would need to be more than a one-issue candidate. To be sure, income inequality is a critically important problem to tackle, but if he were a woman he’d be dinged for harping on the same single issue without showcasing a leadership track record on everything else.”
Due respect to the curmudgeonly Senator, if he were a woman, he’d have gotten the hook months ago. No female could get away with his narrow focus, scruffy appearance or atonal bellowing. Yet men grant each other a credibility women need to earn. And women often automatically grant men more credibility than they grant each other….”
