Twitter isn't buying #FemaleAssistant.

“Female Assistant”??? Why not “stewardess”? Why not “law bunny”? They can’t even respect the woman they hired to treat the other woman with disrespect! #FemaleAssistant #BelieveSurviviors #ElectWomen - @annebabson

What was your #FemaleAssistant moment? I was VP of Marketing, executive team. Sales guy gave me bouquet of red roses for Secretary's Day. CEO & HR told me I should be thankful. - @LizODTweets



Hey - don't be rude to #femaleassistant . Let's use her real name:

She has an effervescent personality.



I’m a #femaleassistant! I never really liked #Attorneyatlaw



What little girl doesn’t wait to grow up to become a #FemaleAssistant?



My favorite part of the Ford questioning will be when the female
assistant whips off her glasses, takes down her bun and shakes her
head while the men all gasp at her beauty.

I understand "female" and "assistant", but I'm wondering: Is this referencing a female human? Or will the republican senators be assisted by a female beagle? Perhaps a female cat has been trained to fetch memos?

Has McConnell ever heard the word, "woman"?

On the other hand, if they hired an attorney to question Dr. Ford, the only reason to indicate gender is because the old, pale republicans think it scores them points.
