The Left, especially men on the Left, have a decided "problem", IMO, supporting strong females leaders, and strong females in general

To be fair, I think gender bias is deeply ingrained in ALL of us, even women themselves, unfortunately. That being said, some

of us, women and men, seem to be doing better than others in "rooting it out".

You're observation about mysogyny on the left is accurate "Oddly it strikes me as a sort of misogyny on the left"

The only thing I might quibble with, is that it is "odd". Sad, infuriating and self-defeating, I'd say, but not

unusual, as you will doubtless see on this board.

Sexism seems to be the hardest "ism" to defeat....Progressive men will give women's equality lip service, but fail (often flagrantly) to live up

to it time and again..
