Gloria Steinem endorsed Bernie as an “honorary woman” while other politicians were still in the anti choice party.

about some past hurt.
The first is disqualifying, the second not so much.

I clicked the thread link from the homepage, otherwise I wouldn't have seen it (thank dog for the ignore feature).

Some people need to take up a hobby or two.

It was a far different world in 1972 and I would hope I would not be judged for things I said or believed in back then.

toward women. Sanders ignored it thru out the campaign and after, until he decided to run again and saw it would affect 2020. And the under an hour he gave his attention to the past grievances when he did have an all day conference about the issue, supposedly to address this issue. So, while his writings, showing us his perspective on women (Old bitch of a teacher) were a handful of decades ago, while he was a grown adult man, he still has issues to deal with.

enough to even comment on.. but many do.

Go away. Sit down. Hush.

Welcome to DU.

women's issues. This feminist has a real problem with him. Always have and cannot see him doing anything to change my view of him

he believes we should adopt for the good of all. I've never seen any indication that he particularly likes or cares about individual people or groups who selfishly insist on distracting to their special problems. That's too small for his vision.

Understanding what the various groups we divide ourselves into because of special interests want is not necessary to promoting his universalist solutions. We should all have one healthcare system available to all -- check, equality achieved (don't wonder if the same people who run gender-unequal systems and make misogynistic decisions now will get personality transplants under socialism).

Socialism (the version he used to publicly espouse) would remove much of the problem with people finding employment, we'll all be able to have a job -- check, the biggest step to equality achieved.

Big universal solutions will largely fix these nattering problems, so a wise leader will ignore the selfish, small-minded demands that distract from achieving them.

He also can't tell the difference between us and the Republicans. I think that's because his view is from so far above.

This is the Vetting process.. I don't think republicons would let this slide because it's from 1972.

gotta remember to stay out of Primaries

And time woman puts herself together for the sake of all humanity. Her responsibility.

Yes, this tells us how he sees women.

WOW!

You got nothing from his teen years?

not a teenager.

And that he saw MLK speaking in Washington DC.

Nothing has changed except the political environment he is now in.

The politician in question neither apologized, nor recanted. He appears to merely claim that the essay was misinterpreted

You!.. "

wrote this.. and other candidates didn't. We don't read minds.

"The existence of a female candidate on the ballot did not make a significant difference, as women's voting patterns were essentially unchanged from 2012 to 2016. In every presidential election from 1996 to 2016, between 51 and 56 percent of women have voted for the Democratic candidate; in 2012, 55 percent backed Obama, and Hillary Clinton's support among women in 2016 was only slightly below that (54 percent)." From "Nasty Women and Bad Hombres."

Not seeing that happening.

Even a half apology that doesn't admit any responsibility such as, “I certainly apologize to any woman who felt she was not treated appropriately, and of course if I run we will do better the next time," would be better than nothing.

Not going to hold my breath, though.
