About half-way through the you-tube video...
Christopher Hitchens, Michelle Malkin, Chris Matthews, a bevy of FoxNews reporters...
These are people who regularly spew vitriol in all directions, not just towards the female gender. This does not take away from the unbelievably crass, inappropriate, and hurtful nature of their "commentary" (especially seeing it all in one place), but this tells me more that this is a problem with news media. I've heard nothing remotely sexist from anyone I've discussed politics with personally. Again, I'm not absolving or diminishing how shitty all of these clips are -- they're truly horrible -- but why are we watching these people? These people are wrongheaded when they speak in any capacity, about any subject. Getting riled up about these people gives them power they do not deserve.
The one specific sexist claim I remember distinctly hearing during the last few months of the democratic nomination was a few weeks ago when both the news media as well as senior Democratic leaders were vocally calling for Hillary to concede (because she was not winning by any measure and could not achieve a lead through any realistic means). On NPR I remember a woman at a Hillary rally claiming that this was sexist; that if it were a man in her place, no one would be asking her to step down. I believe that, if it were a man in her place, these same parties would actually be exponentially more vocal and demanding that he step down at this point in the nomination process.
(ps. some of us have indeed been following this thread
)
EDIT: ...to just say that, having reread what i wrote, i tuly believe that sexism exists generally an in this election. But to use that youtube clip as evidence takes away from the more insideous and hidden ways that it exists and hurts. If we're going to talk about sexism, let's talk about that. C'mon, who can get riled up by anything Pat Robertson says anymore?
