Rand Paul: Sexist Women Wont Stop Sexisming Me!

Shhhhhut up, sexists
Look, Rand Paul already explained to us idiots that he is NOT sexist just because he has a habit of being a jerk to lady reporters. He is a jerk to ALL reporters, so there! But he has thought about it some after Fox News lady Megyn Kelly told him a couple weeks ago, in her opinion as a female reporter, that it is sexist to say Rand Paul is sexist and you know what? He has decided, all on his own (shut up, he is NOT also a plagiarist too), that its pretty sexist to say that, and YOU YES YOU are the real sexists!
Well, the funny thing about it is its kind of a sexist position to think that somehow women announcers are less capable to handle themselves than men. I dont think that. But everybody that was complaining about it, thinking it had something to do with gender basically, thats insulting to the people doing the questioning. Really, the problem is is [sic] that we have a lot of media that are just so far on the left, that we just dont have any neutral questions. If you go on there as a Democrat, they laugh and yuk it up and, you know, talk about how great things are going. But its a little different when Republicans are on the national news.
Oh, we get it now! When Rand Paul shushed woman announcer Kelly Evans and explained to Savannah Guthrie that she was doing her job all wrong by editorializing instead of asking the kinds of questions hed rather answer he was not insulting them, and certainly not because they are chicks, no sir! But boy, it sure is insulting to them to say that he was. Why are you so sexist against those perfectly capable and yet totally inept girl talkers, HUH?
Hey, wanna know the hard-hitting appropriately journalistic question (asked by Simon Conway, a man, not that its relevant) to which Dr. Paul was responding? This is what real doing the questioning looks like:
This is the part that really made me laugh. Which is how the mainstream media went after you after your encounter with Savannah Guthrie, because Im thinking, you got Joe Biden way too touchy feely with every woman that comes within, close enough for him to actually touch I find it really, really creepy and all we hear from them is Ah, Uncle Joe! You quite rightly point out that Savannah Guthrie isnt asking you a question, and youre the one with a problem with women. I find it amusing. I dont know what it did to you, but it made me smile."
See, those broads editorialized at Rand Paul and did NOT ask him questions, whereas this dude editorialized at him and did NOT ask him questions, and while Rand Paul did interrupt the ladies to tell them how they are doing it all wrong, he just yukked it up with the dude because its so funny how people say Rand Paul is sexist, when they are obviously sexist for saying that. Take heed, women announcers, if you dont wanna get shushed. That is how you question Rand Paul the right way.

I believe we've fully established that Rand Paul is a jerk to women, to men, to flowers, to small dogs, to kittens, to hamsters, to granite, to every star in Orion, to hobbits, to squirrels, and most assuredly to tribbles, one of which he has enslaved and glued onto his head.

(113,550 posts)Rare Caterpillar Resembles Donald Trump's Hair
A recently videotaped caterpillar bears an uncanny resemblance to bigwig Donald Trump's hair. The insect, a rare yellow-colored caterpillar of the flannel moth, now has the nickname Donald Trump Caterpillar.
Wildlife photographer Jeff Cremer and conservation biologist Phil Torres spotted the caterpillar in an Amazon rainforest, according to a Daily Mail report. The two men run photography tours from Posada Amazonas, a 30-bed rainforest lodge in Peru.
As you can hear in the video, they didnt know what to think of this creature when they first saw it. (In Spanish, someone at the end says, What IS that?)
Torres told the Daily Mail, Ive seen some bizarre looking caterpillars in my time of working in the field, but this was definitely the weirdest one Ive ever seen. I wasnt sure what I was looking at at first; it was this big yellow fuzzy thing.

(110,159 posts)that is why being called a girl, while being a grown adult woman, is not so good.
they really really really want to say, and do say.... be a good little girl and listen to the adults talk.
there is not a meanness or anything else. they, and we.... have been raised this way.

(110,159 posts)cause they are asses. THEY think, they are being caring men in our lives. it is their place to take care of, ..... regardless of the fact they do not do shit and we have had decades of good decisions, evidence we are quite capable of taking care of self.
the whole fuggin' roles society demands we play. those men and too many women reinforcing, saying stupid ass, in your face obviously incorrect trash, ... men are biologically programmed and women biologically incapable.
this shit seeps into the best of people

(28,498 posts)Yesterday I read a "joke" told by Ted Cruz about hymens which didn't make any sense whatsoever. Now today Rand Paul uses a term I can't find in the dictionary.
This is turning out to be the most bizarre primary in my lifetime!

(148 posts)If you don't have a valid answer to a charge against you, attack attack attack the person making the charge with anything you can think of - valid or not. Deflect the discussion away from valid issues.
Sadly, it works on a non-critical-thinking public. I've seen it in person many times over the course of my journalistic career.
