Last week, Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego's texts leaked, where he lamented that Democratic "women look like men and men look like women."

      I would argue the Democratic Party in the USA isn’t liberal. They are just conservatives with different lobbyists and the low bar of still believing in the democratic process.

        What would you count as a liberal?

          Liberal is mostly a relative term. The US Democratic Party, on the greater global political spectrum, is just right of center imo.

    People who are obsessed with how masculine or feminine others are are poor examples of their own gender.

    Someone who is confident in themselves, and kind enough to accept others as they are is what makes someone a credit to their gender.

    The faster Dems understand that, the sooner they can stop being bullied and start winning.

    Edit: I would bet this guy thinks shouting USA, USA, USA at the top of your lungs makes you a “patriot” instead of a blindered idiot - the last thing any country needs.

      Men who are inferior to their fellow men, are always most anxious to establish their superiority over women.

      -Mary Wollstonecraft

      This guy seems to have the same general energy.

      We really need to start thinking of gender more like cliques than some sort of destiny.

        I like how in French (and maybe related languages) the word is genre. No one’s going to tell you there’s only two genres! Like in music you’ve got rock and metal and hip-hop and r&b and doom and rap-metal and so on, many genres. Let’s do that for human gender.

          No one’s going to tell you there’s only two genres!

          I have actually seen bumper stickers that say “I love both genres of music: country and western!”

          And we never gatekeep genres. /s

          Though I suppose gender gatekeeping will never go away, but at least we can have more gates.
