Political Misogyny Is Thriving Quite Nicely

Make it stop. Please.

The last three days have been a wicked carnival of heinous comments about Wendy Davis and her biography. They’re now calling it Trailergate, isn’t that cute?

Look, there’s no harm in discussing the cracks in her biography, but media politico-males have taken it to a dark level of shameless attacks, bordering on misogyny and harassment. The online comments that followed after the slut-shaming-language began were more horrible than you can imagine.

These gentlemen (what a misnomer!) remind me of pimply-faced junior high boys at the back of a classroom; taunting, bullying, snickering and giggling, and high-fiving, encouraging each other to ramp up the volume of audacity. It seemed to be some sort of he-man competition to determine who could make the most revolting statement. All of it was done at the expense of Wendy Davis and her family.
