© Jack Ohman Donald Trump walked right into a trap set by Hillary Clinton at the debate, and now that he was caught like a deer in the headlights calling former Miss Universe Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” (both sexist and racist!), Trump can’t stop himself and is doubling and even tripling down.

Maurine Dowd has a hilarious op-ed in the NY Times. Here’s just the start: LET’S stop being so hard on Donald Trump. He has done us an enormous public service. After this down-and-dirty battle of the sexes, we will never look at gender in politics the same way. For centuries, women were seen as unfit […]
WaPo has an interesting article today about Trump supporters who loathe Hillary but love her husband Bill Clinton. According to polls, around a fifth of people who support Donald Trump view Bill favorably. During recent interviews, many Trump voters went out of their way to tell the author of the article that they abhor Hillary […]
I’m really glad that the historic candidacy of Hillary Clinton is (finally) leading to some discussion about sexism in America. After all, many other countries have elected women leaders (over 70 women have become the leaders of their countries), but the US hasn’t ever nominated a woman even as the presidential candidate for a major […]
© Jen Sorensen Not so long ago, Americans thought that authoritarian leaders only came to power in countries like Turkey, where president Recep Erdogan has been cracking down hard on anyone in the media who criticizes him, while stoking nationalist fervor and traditional (sexist) values. But now we know that it could happen here. And […]
The New York Daily News (yeah, I know) has an interesting article, where they interviewed some Trump supporters. But these weren’t regular Trump supporters, they are members of groups that tend to not like Trump very much. Americans like women, Muslims, Blacks, Asians, Mexicans, and from India. People who have been insulted by Trump in […]
© Joel Pett Donald Trump has played just about every card in the book. I guess he is just jealous because he can’t play the “woman card”.
© Tom Toles If it is all he’s got, I’m guessing that he is hoping that the man card is the trump card.
The website is votetrumpgetdumped.com, and they also have a hashtag #votetrumpgetdumped. I’ll let their straightforward description on their website explain: Those Who Vote Trump Should Understand This: No Sex. No Dates. No Chance. To cast a vote for Trump is to agree with his sexist, perverted, demeaning, backwards, offensive treatment of women. Learn what’s at […]
This is much funnier than I expected.
© Matt Bors After winning Iowa, Hillary Clinton was criticized for shouting too much. Even Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame, said “She shouts. There is something unrelaxed about the way she is communicating.” Are you kidding me?
Jon Stewart points out the underlying hypocrisy of the media reaction to Bruce Jenner becoming Caitlyn Jenner:
Jon Stewart is on a roll brilliantly showing how sexist American media is against female politicians:
© Jen Sorensen It is true. After some early success in recruiting women into the field of computer science, the number of women receiving CS degrees has been going down dramatically since then — despite the fact that there is strong demand for computer workers regardless of sex. The study mentioned in the first panel […]
