"What I always find interesting is, 99 percent of the people that come over to say something negative and to attack [me] are women...."

"I am only the third woman and the first mom to ever be the White House press secretary, and yet women attack me relentlessly..."

Said Sarah Huckabee Sanders (quoted in a Mediaite article linked by my son at Facebook).

Nope. ‘Self hating’ is a description of a malady, I feel sorry for them, I don’t hate them.

Isn't it a cliche that women are most vicious and vituperative towards other women?

That’s why you should follow the Pence rule and not work with women. Let them hire, network and mentor other women.

What could go wrong?

WWIII Joe Biden, Husk-Puppet + America's Putin said...

Left-wing totalitarian progressive females only celebrate other left-wing totalitarian progressive females.

It's BS when progressive women say "It's about women." NO. In progressive totalitarian leftwing hive-mind - it's about being on team progressive totalitarian hive-mind and nothing else.

I’m not getting the point here.

There’s some special reason women should support and celebrate Sanders because she has a pussy?

I don’t support and celebrate other men because they have dicks.

That said, harassing anybody in a restaurant is offensive and stupid.

Feminists are always about empowering women. That's what they talk about.

Except when women who succeed are Republicans. Then they're horrible.

We're just pointing that out.

Michael K said...

Disagree. Woman are vicious toward each other. My wife used to say, "A party to a woman is what a battlefield is to a man."

Isn't it a cliche that women are most vicious and vituperative towards other women?

Yes. It is an overused thought that needs clarification.

When I was in clinical practice, a lot of my professional female patients complained about having to work with mostly other women. I think the problem is in offices that are almost all one gender. Under those circumstances, it often (not always) becomes quite vicious.

gilbar said...

Oh wait!

rcocean said...

Did you hear anyone in the MSM talk about "Sexist attacks" when Palin was running for VP? Did you hear anyone in the MSM talk about "the Glass Ceiling" when McCain-Palin lost? Or "Is America ready for women VP"?

Yet, we heard all that when Hillary lost. We heard it a LOT.

langford peel said...

I agree with Jemele Hill. We need to go back to segregation. Of both races and the sexes.

That would certainly end the chance for racist or sexist acts. No more white supremacy. No more sexual harassment.

Isn’t that the most important thing?

bleh said...

“... and the first mom...”?

I like here but there’s a lot of bitchery in that comment.

Mark said...

Woman are vicious toward each other.

And they are complete angels toward men?

rcocean said...

And we all know that if Trump had been a liberal Democrat running against a Republican, the "grab them by the pussy" tape would either never been made public or quickly buried and poo-poo'ed by the same media/pol types who were OUTRAGED.

Did Justice Breyer ever try to rape a woman in 1954? A women who couldn't remember the date, the place, or who exactly was there? We'll never know, because its only conservative SCOTUS judges who get accused of that and have senate committe testimony about it.

rcocean said...

So, Sanders is just getting the usual treatment from liberals. With them, Feminism comes 2nd behind supporting the Democrat party and Liberalism.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Duh! That's because she gives other women a bad name and makes them look bad.

If the first male to take a position they'd been absent from were satan, a lot of guys would be bitching too.

She's not just a total liar but a fucking moron.

rcocean said...

In Fairness, Jim Acosta tried to beat up Sander's girl assistant and take the Mic away. So, its not like LIberal men are that much better.

bleh said...

The fact she’s a mom is irrelevant. Completely. She had an important role as WH spokeswoman and she shouldn’t use motherhood as a shield. Nothing about her personally should affect her job. Reminds me of when Serena had her meltdown at the 2018 US Open and started yelling about being a mom. Who cares?

I think she’s also slyly placing herself above and apart from the other women who preceded her in the position. Lots of moms do this and act like they’re “Woman 2.0” because they procreated.

Wasn't there some fatty reporter/celebrity who called Sanders Fat? John Goodman? The slob who worked with Rosanne? One of those two.

You'd think they' be smart enough to lay off the fat jokes, when they themselves are "chunky" but that's not how they roll. They only way they roll, is with fat rolls. In their brain.

Inga said...

LOL. What a dumb bitch you are Althouse. I’ve been restraining myself from saying that for a long time. How’s that for lack of restraint?


Inga...Allie Oop said...

Althouse got from me the respect she deserved, which was none. She routinely insults her commenters, yet demands that they apologize to her when they retaliate. It is a point of view deletion and banning and she was insulted that I didn’t accept her vast knowledge on the subject. She IS a lazy thinker, I’ve seen it many times over the years. What she deleted was me telling her that as a law professor she should know better and be embarrassed. I also called her a stupid woman, which is not unwarranted.

I think that the law students she “taught” via text book lesson plans should demand a refund from UW. As for Althouse treating women commenters differently than the male commenters, indeed yes she does. I’ve seen it happen numerous times over the years of commenting here.

Sebastian said...

She is the wrong kind of woman.

Politics trumps gender.

But she knows that.

Unlike Althouse, she has no illusions, I don't think. For example, our hostess still seems to think if she doesn't post "racist" content, progs won't come after her as racist.

Sebastian said...

"Women are deep into conformity. Even Althouse, if only she would realize it."

Well, she does realize she is "timid." But she is also an edgy writer and artist who doesn't put up with crap, she tells herself, and boldly, independently, cruelly-neutrally makes up her own mind in politics, she tells herself.

The left has been good at exploiting women's conformism and need for security. So, fellow conservatives, how do we counter that?

Leftwing women are atrocious. They hate Sanders because she was tough. They must be ignored or mocked relentlessly.

Women can be bitches, but so can men. Being a bitch isn’t gender selective, unless you’re speaking of a breeding female dog.

The only thing "tough" about Sanders is her sloping neanderthal brow ridge and her assaults on the truth.

But as long as Republicans want press secretaries made in the mold of Baghdad Bob, then I'd say she's a worthy successor to Spicer.

I've dealt with leftist women my entire life - both personally and professionally. I've also dealt with women on the right side of the spectrum that are also real pieces of work.

chuck said...

No true woman would be successful.

buwaya said...

Male arguments in person tend to be much less personal, even when they are violent.
That may seem odd, but it is so.

The conflict presents itself as a problem, the other party being the problem.
Victory feels more of a removal of a problem, I have overcome "that", not that I have beaten "him".

There is much less of an emotional subtext going on.

Another cliche is you can explain women to men, but not vice versa.
In my experience this is only mostly so, but there is some truth to it.

Fen said...

Isn't it a cliche that women are most vicious and vituperative towards other women?

Stereotype, not cliche. And like most stereotypes, there is a truth behind it:

Men resolve conflict with each other under the threat of violence, women engage in reputation destruction and psychological warfare intended to destroy self-esteem.

Consider Kellyanne Conway. First woman to run a Presidential campaign. Also pulled off the most stunning political upset in American history. And the feminists refuse to acknowledge her.

Gk1 said...

I was sorry to see Sander's go as she was an effective fighter. Since they closed down the daily kindergarten class/whitehouse briefings with Jim Acosta the need for her declined. I hope she does run for Gov.of Arkansas.

buwaya said...

There are quite few women that can, or want to, fight on the clean, antiseptic sand of a proper debate arena. Where the conflict is, when done properly, impersonal.

Where the person is irrelevant, and the combatant presents simply as "the other".

A great number of men, conversely, dearly wish that such conflicts be settled on such clean sand.

"Some serious Maddow wish-fact insanity."

I find it interesting that Inga keeps coming back to say essentially the same thing: "I am not the nutbag, everyone else is. And you are going to so ashamed for supporting Trump"

It's very important that she keep her Alternate Reality from being dispelled, likely because she has staked her entire self-worth on it. So her diatribes can be viewed not as insults directed at us but as Repetitive Assertions she must chant daily, like
Daily Affirmations, to convince *herself* that the Fantasy Narrative she has crafted is real and to keep it from being dispelled.

It's why she appears to be immune to shame. That's not really true, she feels shame, but her very sanity depends on maintaining her illusion, so the idea of Shame has been pushed down, subordinate to her hierarchy of needs. She represses her shame in service to keeping her faux reality from crumbling down around her.

I think we will hear about her on the evening news one day soon.

buwaya said...

Men aren't as vulnerable to shame either.
They generally have much less invested in social standing.
Or this is more true of most, than the other way around.

The bite in these things are real consequences, loss of career, income, power, and consequent failure to meet obligations. Feelings as feelings don't matter, nor is the pleasure of belonging to some transient clique.

Martin said...

Being a conservative, Sanders is not a REAL woman to them.

She is a traitor.

Ray - SoCal said...

Interesting the bias against Sanders is so bad, that there is a Mediaite article about it. Just reading the site, and the stories recommended, I can tell the site is a bit to the left.

The article attempted to throw some shade at Sanders and justify a little bit what is done against her.

My view - there is a double standard against any Republican that is not Male and White. Woe be you if you are a women, or minority and support Trump, much less the Republican Party. You are treated as an apostate, a traitor, a betrayer, and are to be treated as such. You will get the full Alinsky treatment.

Also, while I have sympathy for Sanders, her recourse to identity politics ("I am only the third woman and the first mom to ever be the White House press secretary") like Palin's a decade earlier, is pathetic.

J. Farmer said...

My first real job was as a mental health tech at a residential facility for male juvenile offenders. I met a number of correctional officers in the process who had worked throughout the system, and they (including all the women) were uniform in their opinion that they much preferred supervising male juveniles to females.

The Godfather said...

I'm not surprised that most of the people who attack Sanders in public places are women, because I find it hard to imagine a man doing that sort of thing, particularly to a woman. (OK. OK. Yes there's Jim Acosta.) I think that a guy who did that sort of thing regularly would eventually run into an angry escort or friend who would clean his clock, and then he wouldn't do it anymore. Speaking as a man (do I need to say "cis"?) I can't imagine doing such a thing, even to, say, Elizabeth Warren, one of the most obnoxious figures on the current political scene. (Gosh I hope that she gets the Dem nomination so I can vote against her.)

Ben Lange said...

She’s successful, smart, tough...all things men are TERRIFIED of, right? But she has a husband, children, and the respect of men in her professional life. What gives, says the liberal feminist? Why is my life not like this?

The ensuing rage is a psychological defense mechanism protecting her from the terrifying realization that she hasn’t achieved what she wanted not because society wants her to be the impossible Stepford Wife, but because she just isn’t good enough.

Rick said...

Reality is quite a distance from "There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women". But everyone knew she only meant "left wing women" right?

I've always been amused by the mantra "well behaved women seldom make history". There's no group who makes history more often then"seldom" but since the idea is to imprint aggression and nastiness into their acolytes reality isn't a consideration.

People certain of their own morality are both horrible and dangerous whether the resulting Inquisition is religious in the 1300's or radical-left political in the 2000's.

There is no "self hate" involved in knowing that, other than our closest friends, women are mostly awful to each other. Inspired mostly by jealousy, and even our closest friends often betray us.

I'm sure men are awful to each other too. We are all fallen, but I think the viciousness is definitely different. As a woman, I would much rather be criticized online by a man than a woman. I've read some of the hate spewed at Sarah by women and it is pretty disturbing. The criticism by men is mostly about her looks and just makes them look small and ugly. Women know how to more effectively attack women. It took me two paragraphs to boil that down, but there it is.

Politically, women are the Socialist Sex (please--anyone--disprove this if you can) so I'm figuring those women were angry at Sanders because she wasn't playing ball with the "liberal" Hive.
