A Few Modest Suggestions for Making DU's Presidential OPs More Friendly to Women

[vi5]

5. A few things:

1) A lot of these seem very specific to one candidate in particular and not women in general.

2) Most of the time the "but" as far as women and children's issues comes from defenders, after people point out how atrocious that certain someone's foreign and economic policies are. So at that point a person is forced to concede that "but". I've rarely if ever seen it come out of the blue an dismissed at the outset. And I'm all for this as long as when that person's foreign policy and economic positions are discussed and taken issue with, that in defense of them the supporter doesn't play that same card. Deal?

3) You admit yourself that men's physical appearances get mocked all the time but.....for some reason that doesn't count? I don't get it? How many times has McConnells neck and physical appearance been mocked by calling him "turtle"? How many times does Chris Christie's weight get talked about? I'm not sure you, me or anyone in particular gets to decided which physical attributes are o.k. to talk about and which ones aren't, do we? If so let me know when the meetings are so I can be sure to make the next one.

4) To answer your question, yes a lot of people at the time he was running made comments about Kerry's wife and her money and her connections.
