Kate Harding Is V****g with Her Vagina; She's An I***t

You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant. Harlan Ellison
An informed e*****rate is essential to a functioning republic. Once the scale is tipped by the uninformed or the deliberately destructive, we cease to be a republic, and we become an idiocracy.
There have always been imbeciles who v**e with their feelings rather than their intellects, but Id like to zero in on one particular type of imbecile: One who v**es based on g****r and race.
This behavior, this v****g pattern, is an extension of feelings v**ers, who sacrifice rational thought processes in favor of biases that have no bearing on leadership.
One such v**er is Dame Magazine writer Kate Harding. In a piece called I Am V****g with My Vagina: Hillary Clinton for President, Harding makes numerous ludicrous points. However, there are four statements on which Id like to focus.
G****r and race have nothing to do with how a person will function as a president. We know this because we only had White, male presidents for 220 years, and they were all quite different! To say you supported Hillary because she was a woman, or Obama because he was Black, was to declare yourself overemotional, illogical, and selfish.
Harding is correct. Over the course of 220 years, we have had 42 presidents prior to Obama who were white males (Cleveland served twice non-consecutively). However, they have all governed differentlysometimes radically. Guess why? Because they were different people.
If g****r and race have no bearing on how someone will function as a leader, why v**e based on them? If all things are equal, why pull the lever for someone simply because their sex organ bleeds?
Harding invalidates her own argument. She claims that every president has been different, but that we should v**e for Hillary because shes different. Um, what? These men were different because they had different values, and ideologies. Hillary may be different, too, but her g****r is not a difference on which to base ones v**e.
Are we not still proud to have helped elect the first African-American president, even if he disappointed us time and again? Can we not recognize that this is a big, historic deal, that will help pave the way for more liberal women
to advance to the presidency more smoothly?
So, we should be proud that we elected an African American, despite his immense failures as a leader? Once again, Harding invalidates her own argument. We v**ed for Obama because he was black, and got a p**********l dud. Doesnt that mean we shouldnt have v**ed based solely on his race? Doesnt that mean that credentials should have mattered more than skin color?
American women have been bleeding for over 200 years while men tell us its no big deal, and a lot of us have arrived at the point where we just want someone with a visceral, not abstract, concept of what that means.
This is the most egregious of Hardings arguments because its not simply amusingly self-defeating, but it has a hook. This is the same screed used against men entering the a******n debate. You can never experience pregnancy, so youre not allowed to have an opinion! Its a variant of a long-standing argument.
However, this is where things like intellect and empathy come into play. As human beings, we possess the extraordinary ability to examine and dissect issues outside of our own scope of personal experiences. In other words, we can think outside of ourselves.
Additionally, we have been blessed with something called empathy, which we use to understand what weve examined and dissected. In other words, I dont have to slit a babys throat to know that its immoral. I can come to that conclusion using intellect and empathyalong with the hundreds of other faculties we have been given by our creator.
A president doesnt have to know what its like to bleed out of ones sex organ to grasp issues pertaining to women.
There has never been a president who was a woman. That is more than reason enough.
This last sentence is the worst of them all. In fact, its vile. Does Harding really believe that a female leadersimply by virtue of her g****rwill be better equipped to deal with ISIS, i*****l i*********n, tax reform, foreign policy, public school reform, healthcare, and a nuclear Iran?
Does Harding not see a person, but just a vagina with a D next to it? Apparently so. People like her are the reason we are decliningmorally, socially, fiscally, and otherwise. They dont use their mind to v**e, they dont compare policy and personal integrity, but cast their b****t for the person with whom they identify on a visceral level.
Im sorry, but a visceral connection does not a competent leader make. And people like Harding should be permanently banned from v****g because they are taking a chainsaw to our republic.
This is a note to you directly, Kate Harding: Im absolutely disgusted with you and people like you. Youve betrayed your country by the way youve decided to v**e. You should be deeply ashamedand I say that without an ounce of facetiousness or hyperbole.
As Christine Pelosi said: V****g is a civic sacrament the highest responsibility we have as Americans.
You have taken that sacrament and used it as toilet paper.
