1. What's "femaleness"? And when did being a "humanoid" turn out bad?

I thought we were all human. I'm lost with this. These women and most people work hard and reach to destroy the President. I don't get it.

2. She's trying to emasculate him

3. I had a hard time getting past that Maureen Dowd picture to read the article

[enough]

4. I'm starting to see the punditocracy as a parasite class. They make their living by

sucking the life out of anyone who's trying to do anything in the public arena.

Apparently now it's a PROBLEM if you stop and think before acting:

Snip from the article>

When asked about Parker's column in an appearance on"Good Morning America" Dowd told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that Obama is more of a "humanoid" than a woman. She agrees with Parker that the president has a tendency to wait and look before acting, but she says it is not really male or female trait, "it's a problem."

I see, what we want is someone who DOESN'T look before acting.

5. what a bunch of sexist, classist crap

So...women are incompetent by nature, and only people from rich families are confident and able to act in a crisis? What a steaming pile those 2 columnists are.

I'm not exactly clear why it's a bad thing to think before acting. I'd much rather that the president think and consider the consequences of his/her actions than jump in and "be confident" and do something stupid.

:mad:

6. Women mocking Obama for "acting like a woman". A little

self hatred goes a long way.

7. You are going to start hearing

a lot more of this kind of thing.

8. was her penis hard when she said it ?...nt

9. only those born rich should be president

"Dowd said this characteristic may be a result of the way he was raised, because unlike Presidents George W. Bush and John F. Kennedy, Obama did not grow up with a "rich daddy" to provide him with the confidence to make bold decisions."

10. Easy now; social scientists have studied learned gender differences for years.

Do I detect a theme of "traditionally female characteristics" being viewed as negative here?

(this will be a hit and run for now; gotta go to work)

11. Jesus, what a load of shit Huffington Post has become

[Kitsune]

12. Wow, self-hating misogynists.

It's not like I haven't seen them before, but it's always kind of a shock nonetheless.
