I have never voted based on gender, if that's any of your business.

Now please answer the question.

I agree with you democrattotheend Jun 2016 #1
Okay. 99Forever Jun 2016 #2
If you're voting for inequality and discrimination, I have nothing to offer beyond contempt. nt procon Jun 2016 #5
Ya, because he thought that argument was brilliant. Lordy. Nt seabeyond Jun 2016 #20
Aw, don't be willing to offer so little. After all... Herman4747 Jun 2016 #26

"My problem" is that you openly discriminate based on gender? 99Forever Jun 2016 #58
Look at yourself; still ordering women around. procon Jun 2016 #63

I didn't "order(ing) women around, I asked you a simple question. 99Forever Jun 2016 #67
The desire for knowledge first requires an open mind and tolerance. procon Jun 2016 #68
You could just answer the question instead of twisting yourself into a pretzel... 99Forever Jun 2016 #69
You are talking as if we already have the level playing field, just as Sanders did and his fail. seabeyond Jun 2016 #88
People that discriminate... 99Forever Jun 2016 #95

Ignoring fact doesn't win your argument. seabeyond Jun 2016 #97
I asked a perfectly valid question of the OP. 99Forever Jun 2016 #106
No. And I told you why it is not a perfectly valid question. Yet you ignore reasoning again. seabeyond Jun 2016 #107
You are not the judge here. 99Forever Jun 2016 #112
Opinion is not fact 99. You argue opinion. I gave you fact. seabeyond Jun 2016 #114
I asked the OP a question. 99Forever Jun 2016 #116

Right. Because we know that sexism against women is a thing of the past. athena Jun 2016 #30
Yes, I do have a problem with it because that continues discrimination apcalc Jun 2016 #80
Do you believe that reverse-racism is real too? Darb Jun 2016 #100

Where I live we don't consider asking a simple question... 99Forever Jun 2016 #132
Where you live, you apparently don't endorse reading comprehension. GaYellowDawg Jun 2016 #133
Ahhh.. isn't that special? 99Forever Jun 2016 #137
How do you respond to someone exclaiming: Herman4747 Jun 2016 #3
Show me where men's privilege have suffered the same discrimination as women. procon Jun 2016 #4
This isn't about discrimination!!! (Unless you're deliberately... Herman4747 Jun 2016 #7
You don't even recognize that you are part of the problem, do you? procon Jun 2016 #12
Well, thanks for the insult. But... Herman4747 Jun 2016 #16

People vote for men because of their gender all the time. athena Jun 2016 #32
Okay. Does the tendency of others to discriminate by sex... Herman4747 Jun 2016 #37
Oh, so you think that sexism is a thing of the past! athena Jun 2016 #43
Why do you change the subject to Congress? Herman4747 Jun 2016 #45
You're the one trying to change the subject. athena Jun 2016 #46
You asked but a single question, which I had thought was rhetorical: Herman4747 Jun 2016 #62
I made points, to which you did not respond. But I will respond to your so-called "questions". athena Jun 2016 #76
stop digging..... Florencenj2point0 Jun 2016 #77
Faulty logic here. Just because men were elected it does not follow that gender was the criteria. TheKentuckian Jun 2016 #70
Why, then have we had 44 male presidents? athena Jun 2016 #79
No question sexism has played a giant role especially considering for quite a few of the 44 TheKentuckian Jun 2016 #91
The candidates are not close. athena Jun 2016 #108
I also think it is either lazy or fingers in the ear to throw around misogyny TheKentuckian Jun 2016 #136
No one would be supporting Sanders if he were a woman. athena Jun 2016 #138
I require no agreement to be correct. I hope you find a way to value who you are and TheKentuckian Jun 2016 #139
I have no idea what you're talking about. athena Jun 2016 #140
Depends. In the days of JFK,gender and looks were def. factors. MichiganVote Jun 2016 #84
I was absolutely thrilled to vote for Obama, not least BECAUSE he was black. The same with Hillary. Squinch Jun 2016 #90
I'm sorry, but claiming sexism against men when throughout history, we have had 44 males presidents boston bean Jun 2016 #98
