Carly Fiorina was the only conservative and woman on Real Time with Bill Maher. She held her own in what looked like the good old boy network. To be sure I do not like her or share her ideology. As Liberals I personally want to be careful not to continue the systemic sexism that permeates our society.

What sexism are you referring to? Leno was neutral, and Rushdi doesn't have a sexist bone is his body. Neither does Paul Beguli(sic)
Fiorina is just a partisan right wing hack. The sexism is owned by the republicans, the party she supports

I think we have to take on the shameless, baseless propaganda that is the War on Women. It is baseless propaganda. Most of its a lie."

(51,559 posts)Usually, there's only one woman on the panel, if any, and more often than not, the woman is a right wing lying idiot...like Fiorina. These female panelists do not represent women nor the best interests of women.
Fiorina did "hold her own" in the sense that she was quick to speak up and interrupt with her GOP talking point bullshit.
But where was her sharp tongue when the "boys" were making lame locker room jokes about female candidates? Rushdie teed up a double entendre joke when he said Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren are his "fantasy" (for the Dem 2016 ticket). Maher then giggles and asks, "What do your fantasies look like?" as the studio erupted in laughter. Rushdie, who is in the same age group as these women, quipped, "How can I say this...they're a little too OLD for me." I wish Fiorina had said some cutting quip back, like "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure YOU'RE too old for THEM." She offered no funny comeback lines. No, when it came to standing up for women, she did not hold her own.
