    An absolutely remarkable piece. And from the uber-liberal Daily Beast, no less! Please read the whole thing at the link:

    That's been obvious for some time. And much like this Sophia if a leftist woman (or really ANYONE) dares says something positive about anyone not of the left they are immediately ostracized and canceled and called all sorts of names. Granted the right isn't clean of this either. But I do see it from the left far more than from the right.

    Imagine actually giving feminist perspective and how the media would react? Right wingers, please grow a pair.

    Please do explain. What do you mean by "giving a feminist perspective and how the media would react"?

    Does this mean you don't understand feminism? Hmmm. That's awkward

    I understand feminism just fine. Equality is a big thing with me. Do you mind answering my question?

    Hahahah! You seem to think feminism is on your terms. Why don't you define it? ;)

    Don’t fool yourself. It’s not just the media or Republican woman.

    Its a clique. Pretty much always has been, but its starting to get angry that there's still a lot of folks not interested in being in it.

    Republicans are stealing the supreme court, so of course people not happy

    don't worry, we will ask how you're feeling when the dems steal it back by adding seats to the court

    Love how you call following the Constitution "stealing" while condoning packing the courts entirely for political gain.

    The only people not happy with Trump appointing another judge are leftists. Everyone else either doesn't care one way or the other, or are happy.

    ok, the left will be following the constitution when they raise the number of seats... so don't call it stealing or packing the court, they are just following the rules

    I never said that they were stealing. But they ARE packing the courts. Packing it isn't illegal. But it is highly immoral. The only reason that they are packing it is because they want political influence in the courts in order to promote judicial activism. That is the only reason to pack a court. You know it. I know it. No matter how much you spin or they spin or anyone else spins it, that is what it boils down to. If they didn't then they wouldn't be trying, or even thinking of trying, to pack the court just because the opposing party has had the chance of putting their own judges on the bench.

    Blame yourself, you're the one that would rather try and avoid rather than answer a question of clarification about what you said. No matter what answer I give you are going to argue with it and in the end you'll never answer my question. I'm not playing your game.

    Sounds like you can't define feminism. Wonder why?

    I agree, what I am saying is what republicans did was legal, not ethical, but legal

    what dems do in the future will be the same

    if one gets the SC this way, so will the other take it back

    I mean if it's legal, it's ok to do it, so why shouldn't they right?

    Right-wing media is the same way. Look at the way they treated Hillary Clinton and are currently treating Kamala Harris and Octavio-Cortez. This is not just a liberal media problem, it's a media problem in general.

    But at the root of it all, is that it's not even a media problem, it's a people problem. The media is mirroring what everyday people are already saying. Everyday people on their own are treating right-wing and left-wing women like this. The media, which are all businesses trying to sell a product that pleases their customers, are just following along.

    they should there is nothing illegal or unethical about it. Nobody has ever complained before when dems have done it and in fact voted for their nominee
