... has been selected as Joe Biden's running mate.

Important for all sorts of reasons I feel

Perhaps discuss Kamala Harris' credentials for becoming vice-president instead of being side-tracked by irrelevant rumours?

How would she compare with Pence?

with men whether or not in other relationships Ooops! missed a bit!

Again, women are to blame for the actions of men!

I'm not sure that something factual can be misogynistic. Are women above criticism? That feels a bit woke-left to me Erm, not sure that's what Granny said. It's the age old hipocrasy: Super Stud : Sleazy Whore

As if a woman couldn't gain a position of meaning without using her sex to gain it: All that is Evil is Eve... crass stupidity!

Sorry, but a woman who literally slept her way up is the opposite of a feminist choice.

Sorry??? That undermines your point. Don't be sorry. If you believe something state it, don't PA it!

And 'slept her way up' or 'had a few consensual relationships with men not in other relationships'.

The Virgin/Whore complex is an unlovely thing, no matter who holds it!

I've reported PlanDeRaccordement's sleazy post for its offensive, misogynistic nature.

NearlyGranny · 12/08/2020 08:31

This sounds like the sort of slur that is uttered against many a successful woman by spiteful tongues, Plan.

Are women really still obliged to be either safely married or celibate throughout their careers? Neither of them was cheating on anybody and Harris was called to the bar before ever working with Brown. Or do you suggest a woman of her pedigree somehow earned her law qualifications 'horizontally' too?

Your comments leave a very nasty misogynistic taste behind.

Well that’s nice. Not. I expect we’ll see loads more of those slurs over the next few months.

@AMCoffeePMWine Sadly, I'd say that Kamela may or may not think the whole new age gender stuff is bizarre, but we'll never know if she is like many of us with younger woke relatives...just nod and roll our eyes. She probably won't rock the boat as she's supposed to be a young counterpart to Biden. She's not terribly progressive so the pronouns are an easy nod to some of the Bernie bros who like to threaten to not vote Biden...which will give us Trump for 4 more years. I may be GC and I center women and children in my politics, but, as an American, I feel like we owe the world a Trump defeat - so whatever she can do to get more votes on the Biden ticket, I'll support her. After the election I'll send her note about real feminism vs the handmaiden kind.

I want to be happy, really I do. But here’s her niece Meena Harris, which makes me concerned

Was my hoped for choice! Very pleased. Strong, great leader. Likely also to get trump saying a lot of sexist things, he cant help himself with women in authority. He already called her “Nasty“ today if I heard right.

Durgasarrow · 12/08/2020 01:08

I think she'll be an excellent choice. She's been raked over the coals recently, but I think she's tough, competent, and really smart.

LouHotel · 11/08/2020 22:43

I really like her but thought she would be pick for AG.

I didn't think she would get it as california isn't a state in play but then I guess it makes her Senate seat safe and they desperately need the Senate.

Not sure what to make of the she/her in her twitter bio. But in the grand scheme of things I'm happy to overlook...

Bloody love that woman. Great choice.

OvaHere · 11/08/2020 22:22

I had a feeling it would be Kamala (along with a lot of other people!)

Will be interesting to see the reception she gets from her own side - it's probably a given the other side aren't keen.
