Well it was a minor not her major, AND I believe that she was admitted as an Affirmative Action applicant to fill their quota for "minority" students.


so that's why I said that. Together these two factors explain why her actual knowledge of economics is atrociously bad.

I said they are unfit for politics because they are cavers and people pleasers who have an impulse to compromise, which is a bad trait in a leader.

IN ADDITION to that, they are undeserving of equal political power because they do not shoulder equal responsibility as men, which is true, and that because of that, their power should be limited so it is proportional to the responsibility they DO share.

Stop putting words in my mouth. Everyone, just scroll up.
You want to be careful about calling me a liar, Pinochio. Especially when you're lying through your teeth.

I'll save people the trouble of scrolling - here's your post, unedited.

Women are not designed for combat and contention. Let the men do it. Women desire equality but the reality is that they are not equal to men. They are not the same. Political equality is an artificial construction that denies the physical reality of differences between the sexes.

IF women want equal political power they as a group should take on equal physical responsibility, and since they haven't done that (can't), they shouldn't have exactly equal political power. They should have power proportional to their ability to wield the power, to defend the institutions, to do the work necessary to sustain them. Power should never exceed ability.
"If women want equal political power, they should take on equal physical responsibility, and since they can not do that, they shouldn't have equal political power."

Your words, plain as day, black and white.

Don't bother apologizing; I wouldn't accept it from you anyway.

If you can't do five pushups you're basically an invalid.

I would expect Hillary Clinton to have trouble with five pushups. But an under 30 person of normal BMI and strength should be able to at least do ten without effort.

Remember, libs, EVERYONE IS A WINNER, so EVERYONE GETS A MEDAL.
Do you righties have the hots for her? There certainly seems to be an extreme obssession with her going on.
Besides, what is wrong with her working as a bartender? It certainky didn't preclude her from successfully pursuing a high-powered career while still in her twenties.
How old were you when you won your first Congressional campaign?

The poster’s claims were (butchered) from sandy’s Wikipedia page and several were debunked earlier in this thread. You are slobbering over several falsehoods but facts don’t matter when you have an axe to grind.

The Argentinian generals, who were looking for a war to distract the populaces' attention from the country's economic plight, though this about women as well and actually thought the British would not energetically resist their invasion of Britain's Falkland Islands due to the fact that the UK was at the time led by a woman.
Margaret Thatcher gave them an abject lesson in gender studies.

I theorize that they post endless threads bashing AOC because they are actually either:

A: attracted to her
B: threatened by her

Otherwise they would ignore her.

Since when is the ability to compromise a bad trait in a leader?

An example: nuclear weapons.....do you think it is a good idea to just let testosterone take over and let them fly?

.....................

How exactly do the men in my neighborhood shoulder "more responsibility" than I do?

Just like voting. You should not be able to vote unless you have skin in the game, and are financially supporting the system. If you want to have a voice, then chip in and don't be a taker. Takers don't get to participate.
Not so fast!

The biggest takers participate and have influence way out of proportion to their numbers.

I bet half the posters on this forum can't do 5 push ups, 10 sit ups or run 50 yards without dying on the spot.

Me? 56 years old I still do crunches, push ups, run 5 miles a day and walk another 10 according to my Fitbit.

What does AOC's ability to do push ups have to do with anything?
