Related: About this forumHillary is sexist for not saying that boys can one day become President, too.
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/trump-surrogate-scottie-nell-hughes-enraged-hillary-didnt-say-white-boys-can-be-president-too/Donald Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes lashed out at Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday for failing to acknowledge that boys could grow up to be president after her historic nomination.
...
Hillary Clinton, when she was in that room of girls, said if youre a daughter or if youre a girl you could be president too, Hughes observed, this would have been an excellent opportunity to say, You know what, whether you are a boy or a girl, both of you, my job will be to make sure its equally an option for both of you.'
Thats the problem, she continued. Weve continued to say we want equality, we want equal but we then tear down one group and tried to build up another. Thats what I heard last night.
Hughes remarks were met with quizzical looks from the CNN panel.

(102,141 posts)2. Does the OP agree with that comment?
The inclusion of the hashtag, #allgendersmatter does have me wondering...
If so, this is blatantly ridiculous.

(52,126 posts)4. as with the "all lives matter" crap, republicans just love political correctness and inclusiveness
when it's whites and males who feel excluded.
otherwise, political correctness and inclusiveness is destroying america, of course.

Oh, what's that you say? All the Presidents were once little boys?

...that the word "too" in this context indicates that boys can be president.

and go into convulsions on the floor?
Something that stupid could cause medical problems for listeners.
