I think the objection is to the "you should vote for politician X specifically because she is a woman" type of reasoning.

Honestly I am pretty conservative about these things but am not bothered by the "woman card," at least in the political arena.

I am bothered by all the man-bashing posts above and I am certain below me.  Some people (men, women) love to dish out but if you ever respond boy do the pearls get clutched.[/quote]

I am a man and I wrote that we hold the rest of the deck.  We do.  It's a fact.  And there are men have a problem with losing this privileged position.

1.  They don't want to be careful about the things they say about women.  They call it PC crap to feel better about it, but they are uncomfortable that their old habits are unacceptable.   They don't like being told that what they do is not OK.

2.  They are suspicious of women who move up the ranks in their company.  When these women get promoted, they come up with lots of excuses about it.  You have heard the excuses, so I don't need to enumerate them.

3.  When a politician or a company supports policies that women heavily support, these men grumble and complain and call it pandering.  It's not pandering to care about issues that affect 50% of the population.  It's not pandering to take up issues important to 50% of the population.

Sorry but this is all true.  And it's not all men, and probably not most men.  So I don't have a problem calling it what it is.  These are the guys who are not adapting to the future.   [/quote]

I applaud you. I hope there are many men like you. My DH is one and he is voting for Hillary in general election. He does not feel threatened by strong women, even though he is quite conservative in many ways. I believe it is because of the upbringing  you have - his mom is an house-wife, but fairly independent lady. We need a lot of strong women in our home, community and in leadership position to break the cycle of bias that many men and women have. Thanks you![/quote]
