Comments on: Obama’s Words - A Textbook Case Of Subtle Sexism http://www.madkane.com/madness/2008/02/17/obamas-words-a-textbook-case-of-subtle-sexism/ Mocking The GOP 24/7: Satire, Song Parodies, Limericks, Funny Polls & News Haiku (MadKane.com) Sat, 30 Aug 2008 03:16:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: You go girl! http://www.madkane.com/madness/2008/02/17/obamas-words-a-textbook-case-of-subtle-sexism/#comment-57812 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 18:47:09 +0000 http://www.madkane.com/madness/2008/02/17/obamas-words-a-textbook-case-of-subtle-sexism/#comment-57812 I have also noticed how Obama gets away with his carefully chosen and hidden sexist comments. Don't forget the one about Ferraro being "slice and dice" politics. He's constantly using "kitchen" and "kitchen appliance" analogies. Like that's the place these women who dare to be politicians should return to. But I think he has finally stuck his foot in his mouth with this lame attempt to spin the Rev. Jeremiah Wright story into making the American public feel that THEY are the racists because they don't "understand black culture". That doesn't excuse the hateful anti-American statements Wright has made, nor does it obfuscate Obama's poor judgment in choosing a political radical and hot potato like Wright as his campaign advisor, close mentor and friend, and pastor of over 20 years. That truly is a (to use Obama's own word about himself) "boneheaded" lack of good judgment. I have also noticed how Obama gets away with his carefully chosen and hidden sexist comments.

That’s a classic sexist stand-by if I ever heard one. Women can’t be trusted, they’re emotional and irrational and PMSing and the Force knows what else. Uhm, what year was this again? There’s some nice commentary about Obama’s comments on Madeleine Kane and Taylor Marsh’s blogs and a few other places. Now, I’m not trying to influence anyone’s vote. It’s just that, uhm, know your candidate, Ok? Just sayin’ [...] […] The man likes classics, it seems. That’s a classic sexist stand-by if I ever heard one.

I AM moodier than my boyfriend, and all of my friends are moodier than their boyfriend/husbands. We have different hormones. It's ridiculous to expect men and women to be talked about in the same way. We are equal, but we are not the same, and addressing our differences directly or indirectly shouldn't automatically be called sexism. Men and women are different.

They are caught in a catch-22.  If they react against these seemingly small slights, they appear to be overreacting or too sensitive.
