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]

Please identify the man bashing you claim. [/quote]

Mostly all of the "men hold all the power" folks. Generally true with some exceptions on the upper levels of society, but I would rather have been a coal miners daughter than a coal miner or would rather have written vletters to the front rather than received them.  Not all of us come from rich backgrounds, you know.[/quote]

So it's bashing to say someone holds the power?  Really?  I'm still waiting for you to point out the man bashing you claimed was there. [/quote]

Second post:  men "hold the deck" despite lower college graduation rates, lower life expectancy, more homelessness, rampant discrimination in child custody determinations.  Obviously a massive overstatement with no nuance.

Third post:  white men automatically full of "grievances" and "resentful."  Not some, of course, but all.  And of course if a white male has a position on an issue involving race / gender it can never be justified.

Anyways I don't even care if people vote for Hillary b/c she is a woman
  But you can build up without tearing others down.
