Reply #122: Yeesh. I just read the whole thing, and it's sexist beyond belief. [View All]

There's plenty wrong with the reasoning, but I'll just focus on the sexism:

"...our country is a mess. It's going to require a lot of unglamorous, grunt work and perhaps a bit of a bad rap to clean it all up. To me, it sounds like a job for a woman because if there were ever a house that needed cleaning up, it would be our current WH."

(Why? Because men only want to do glamorous work and keep their reputations clean?)

"As the saying goes: a woman's work is never done. Indeed women are the ones who tirelessly and (and perhaps truly miraculously) clean up the messes, unplug the toilets, nurture the children, and make sure everyone is as happy as can be at day's end. Michelle Obama gets that. I get that. You get that."

(Um, no, I don't get it. The way I see it, I wasn't put on this earth to work miracles cleaning up messes, unplugging toilets, nurturing children and making sure everyone else is happy. You can be damn sure that if I were married with children, I would NOT be the sole person doing all those things.)

"Every woman has some degree of experience with men -- their husbands, boyfriends, fathers, brothers, colleagues, etc. And collectively we all know the truth: women are better. We are better at getting work done. We are better at cleaning up messes. We are tougher and more tireless. We are smart and strategic."

(Speaks for itself. Reverse sexism, but somehow with the implication that because women are "better" than men, we were born to be Housemaids to the Universe, cleaning up after the messes of those sloppy, lazy, weak men--of whom, of course, Kristen Breitweiser would have us believe Barack Obama is one. Just ask his wife, right?)
