‘Worthless. Gutless. Loser.’ Online attacks escalate when the mayor is a woman.
By Addel Hasasn

Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway’s inbox makes abundantly clear how personally venomous local politics has become. “‘Fat,’ ‘sick,’ ‘worthless,’ ‘gutless,’ ‘loser,’ ” she said, reciting some of the insults that have been leveled at her since becoming mayor of Madison, Wisconsin, in April...

And one factor — gender — stood out above all others as a predictor of whether a mayor would be targeted. Using a statistical analysis that took into account factors like time in office, the researchers concluded that female mayors were more than twice as likely as their male counterparts to experience psychological abuse and almost three times as likely to experience physical violence.

So, women expect to get all the positives of being on an equal footing with men politically, but not the negatives?



But it's ok to call Trump "Orange Hitler" , "Tiny Hands" etc.......


Can't take the heat, get back in the kitchen.

People are actually surprised to learn that women are every bit as calculated, cruel, and treacherous as men? HA! They earn their scorn just as men do. Women can be just awful.

She belongs to a party that has contributed greatly to weaponizing race and gender so if she's getting caught in the blast then well...maybe some introspection is in order.

I don't even have to bring Republicans into the conversation.

Team hillary was repeatedly blasted in 2008 for "racism" and having "racist white supporters".

Sanders got blasted in 2016 as being a racist, anti-woman candidate.

Now this year we have every notable white male democratic candidate (even the gay one) getting attacked for that by their own party rivals.

Maybe the next time this mayor is at a rally or watching a debate and people start digging on "Mayo Pete" or CNN articles about Beto's and Biden's white male privilege she'll recognizing where the poison has hold internally and not just "the other party".

So what happened to Kavanaugh again? False claims to try to ruin a person vs being called names... Hmmm... What I am pretty sure he was called names too....

An OLD saying, "there is NOTHING like woman scorned". We've known it for AGES!
