using sexism as a tool. still makes you sexist. [View all]

i am seeing people chuckle at the accusation that they are being sexist, when it comes to hillary, cause they support warren after all. so really, how sexist are they?

well, what is being done, is sexism is merely being used as a tool. people that do not like clinton resort to sexism. they easily recognize what sexism is, and they use it on some women, not on others. not on those they support. just like the rw sexist. still a sexist, except with his daughter, wife, mother. but, he uses sexism as a tool to dismiss, degrade, humiliate, discount a woman.

one cannot argue that because they support warren, that proves they are not sexist. if they are using sexism as a tool against clinton, they will then call it out when it is used on warren. they are still sexist.
