4. Boy are you wrong

ANOTHER sausage fest?

I went as far back as August of 2018 and every single show had a woman or women on it:

5. Yes, he always has a woman. Sometimes two

and they are always outnumbered by men. And he still has zero women writing on the show.

Also, not "boy."

[Bradshaw3]

12. So you go from implying he has no women on to they are "outnumbered"

You could have just admitted you were wrong. Boy is just an expression, like jeez; has nothing to do with gender. But you obviously see everything through that lens, even when you're wrong.

[tishaLA]

13. I implied no such thing

Although I'm disappointed to see an ardent defense of the unequal representation of women on his show both in front of the camera and behind the scenes on his show. "YAY! There's one woman out of six people on the show! Be happy!" Nope.

I'm sure the next time someone misgenders you, you'll just chalk it up to "just an expression." Be well.

[Bradshaw3]

14. I guess when you deny something obvious it's time to make false accusations

Nobody "misgendered" you and you know it. It's an expression that has nothing to do with gender, so you failed at that attempted smear. And nobody has defended unequal representation. You said "another sausage party" obviously implying he has only men on on a regular basis to try and unfairly smear him. In fact he often has more than one woman but you now claim it is one of six. You should be disappointed in yourself.

[tishaLA]

15. If you're going to quote me, please do it correctly.

I didn't say "sausage party," I said "sausage fest," girl. If you don't know what that means--obviously not what you think it does--Google can help you.

8. Mikkie Sherrill is a woman. Pretty impressive speaker if I remember correctly. nt

[tishaLA]

9. Sorry, but having one woman on the show

Or even two, as sometimes happens, doesn't make it ok, especially when he has no women writers and IIRC, only one woman EP out of 9 or 10.

I'm frankly surprised I'd hear something justifying that kind of unequal representation on a progressive board.

[Blue_true]

10. Ok. I see the problem that you were pointing to.

I thought that you were talking about his panels, he has women on pretty frequently. But, you were looking at staffers.

[tishaLA]

11. I'm also looking at the panels

But the panels are a symptom of a larger problem not only on that show (which has real problems vis-a-vis equal representation of women) but also of shows in which people discuss politics generally. And I'd add that the one (and sometimes two) women who appear on the show are frequently talked over and otherwise minimized unless it's some harridan like Coulter.

6. Wow, good panel. nt
