While promoting her new book, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) told People magazine about incidents in which older, male colleagues commented on her weight.
In the congressional gym, she said a male lawmaker told her, “Good thing you’re working out, because you wouldn’t want to get porky!”
On another occasion, after she lost about 50 pounds, she said a male senator squeezed her stomach and remarked: “Don’t lose too much weight now. I like my girls chubby.”
What kind of misogynist neanderthal still thinks it is okay to make remarks like this, much less actually TOUCH … even worse SQUEEZE … a colleague’s body … or call a female colleague “my girl”? These remarks and behaviors would be out of line if the woman was a lowly intern. Gillibrand is a United States SENATOR, for crying out loud! [Where’s Barbara “don’t call me ma’am” Boxer when you need her?]
When pressed to identify the perpetrators of such inappropriate behavior, Gillibrand demurred, claiming it didn’t matter, because the incidents “didn’t affect me.” Oh puh-leeze. There isn’t a woman on the planet who wouldn’t have been pissed off! Plus, you know, YOU BROUGHT THEM UP, Kirsten!
Let me just GUESS … the REAL reason that the identities of these knuckle-draggers is a Big Secret is that they are DEMOCRATS, hmmm? I’m right, aren’t I, girlfriend. Cuz you know as well as I do that if a Republican had done anything remotely as offensive, you would’ve held a presser five minutes later to divulge his name and breathlessly report every nuanced detail of the latest assault in the GOP War on Women.

Hmmm. I fed your assertions into the Grunt TruthChecker computer, and they came back “100% Fact and Everybody Knows It.” Too bad the media won’t call her out on this. What an enabler.

Proving once again that “feminism” is no longer about human beings with girlie parts, but human beings who vote Democrat.

Any woman with any confidence in themselves and the purity of Justice and Peace for all of mankind as a whole…this would not bother them, nor be repeated by someone with the same attributes….

I’m confused. Are you saying that “Feminism used as a political weapon” should not bother women? Or are you saying that “being groped by powerful men” should not bother them?

Even if she had wanted to name the lowlifes who behaved so abominably, she knows what would have happened to her if she had. Her own party would have tarred and feathered her and run her out of town on a rail for the unforgivable sin of slandering another democrat and possibly hurting his chances of reelection.

Exactly. This says more about the party she works for than it does her own principles.

I tend to believe that it did not happen exactly the way she said it did – or maybe not at all.
