Re: Elizabeth Warren says she's been treated differently in the Senate but won't say
Oh, for gawd's sake, tres, it's not like she Vague-Booked a new Facebook update...
"Am being treated by people for being a woman."
"Oh, I'm sorry, who's doing it to you?"
"It..it's not important."
She was asked that question, and it's clear from her lack willingness to talk about it that if she hadn't been asked she never would have mentioned it. And despite your belief she needs to name names, did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, she has bigger fish to fry, and she feels an internal battle with her colleagues would detract from larger goals?
Your reaction to this whole thing is really goofy.
Blame Yahoo. I quoted their story.
You can also download CNN, and Wapo, and Salon, and any number of the other outlets that ran the same story...
No, it's a male-female issue, unless you don't know what this thread is about? She never said she was treated differently because she was a Democrat. Did she? Did Gillibrand say that? No they did not. So it's only a left-right issue because, well to be honest, the posters on this board on the left ran to her defense, while the ones on the right didn't run to her defense.
She needs to put up names or more details if she expects any thinking person to believe her. It sounds like she's whining. She promotes the idea that Republicans are sexist while at the same time claiming that she is a victim of sexism in Congress, but when pressed for names or details, she won't give them. Either she's lying and this is a political ploy, or the sexists are people she wants to protect - and somehow I doubt any Republicans are on that list.
But be partisan and believe her. I don't accept a politician's word as the gospel. Most people don't either.
