(16,631 posts)If Person A interrupts when Person B is speaking, then Person B has every right to say, "excuse me, I'm talking."
If person A supporters don't like that reply, they are implying that Hillary should have received some special, preferential treatment, based on sex categorization.
But that is totally sexist. Get it? Asking for something different or special, based on one's sex, is sexist. Just like voting for someone based on their sex categorization is also sexist.
That's how these ascribed characteristics work. Being either for or against someone, purely on the basis of an ascribed characteristic, is bad. Sex, race, ethnicity are ascribed characteristics.
And, if Hillary does need some kind of delicate, kid glove deference, then it's just reason #2459 why she is a poor candidate for the nomination.
