Sexism

PBS News Hour sought to answer the question on Friday of why Kamala Harris is struggling with male voters. Both New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart agreed that it is important not to “downplay the role that sexism” plays here.

Morning Joe devoted much of its opening segment on Kamala Harris's Fox News interview to attacking the host, Bret Baier. Mika Brzezinski calls it an 'embarrassing, bad-faith effort by a once-respected host.' Donny Deutsch says he was 'repulsed' by Baier. Anand Giridharadas accuses Baier of racism and misogyny, saying he interrupted her because as a member of the "old guard," he could…

MSNBC must be scared because on Thursday’s edition of All In With Chris Hayes, gone were the gleeful proclamations about a “vibe election,” and in their place was the traditional coping mechanism that says the reason why a Democrat isn't popular is because of racism and sexism.

On Thursday’s installment of  Comedy Central's The Daily Show, host Jordan Klepper claimed to uncover the reason why Kamala Harris is trailing by 12 points among male voters: sexism. Klepper’s unoriginal “insight” led him to claim that “right-wingers” believe that if you vote for a woman, “your penis evaporates.”

ABC’s The View co-host Joy Behar didn’t get the memo on toning down the rhetoric. During Thursday’s interview with the former host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, Behar claimed Donald Trump is scapegoating immigrants and warned, “Don't forget Nazi Germany, the Jews were the scapegoat, and look what happened here.” Elsewhere, Noah claimed “some people might struggle” with a…

The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View are supposed to be all about promoting and sticking up for their fellow women, but their support has proven largely to fall along party lines. Much was the case on Tuesday’s episode as they helped far-left Vanderbilt University professor and prolific race-baiter Michael Eric Dyson defend sending Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC) unsolicited…

Last week, news broke that New York magazine Washington correspondent Olivia Nuzzi was in a sexting relationship with her source, former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while writing about him, and aggressively sending him nude pictures of herself. But instead of decrying Nuzzi for doing a disservice to female reporters everywhere by engaging in the type of unethical…

CNN NewsNight anchor Abby Phillip interviewed liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson on Friday and repeatedly tried to get her to attack her colleagues, first as sexists and second for undermining public confidence in the Court by overturning “precedent,” by which she just meant Roe v. Wade.

MSNBC’s Al Sharpton joined colleague Joy Reid on Tuesday’s edition of The ReidOut to allege that the reason why some people still support Donald Trump is because they seek to take the country back to a time when women and minorities had no rights.

The Daily Show’s temp host of the night, Desi Lydic, sought Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood’s help on Tuesday’s show from Chicago and night two of the Democratic National Convention as she tried to make sense of GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance’s supposed “anti-woman rhetoric.”

Although he appears as the ostensible voice from the right on the PBS News Hour’s Friday evening political discussion, New York Times columnist David Brooks is no one’s idea of a hard-core conservative. He said “I love Joe Biden” before criticizing Biden’s angry speech on Night One of the Democratic National Convention, after previously stating “I do think Donald Trump is…

On Thursday, Comedy Central’s Desi Lydic welcomed New York Magazine writer-at-large Rebecca Traister and Rutgers Prof. Brittney Cooper to The Daily Show to gush over Kamala Harris and breathe a sigh of relief that she, and not Republican Nikki Haley, may be the first female president.

New York Times White House correspondent Zolan Kanno-Youngs joined CNN’s Dana Bash on Wednesday’s Inside Politics to discuss why some black men are not so quick to jump aboard the Harris 2024 bandwagon. Kanno-Youngs arrived at the conclusion that they are sexists who have been informed by “gender roles” instilled in them from “colonialism.”

When I ran for governor, a reporter accused me of believing “men are smarter than women.” Research shows, I wrote in a 20-year-old column, women know and care more about social security, health care and education. When asked, however, about 25 political questions, men were more likely to answer correctly in 15, men and women answered the same in nine, and women answered more correctly than men…
