...it's that misogyny is more deeply rooted in white culture than I ever realized before.

Racism is as well, but the fact that an extremely able black man was able to get elected potus twice while an equally able black woman couldn't do it once says volumes to me.

Furthermore, 2 different extremely qualified women have now run for potus, and both lost - to the same guy. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I can't stop thinking about it.
