Smile for the voters! No, not like THAT.
At Wednesday night’s Democratic presidential debate, Sen. Amy Klobuchar was pressed to defend a comment she’d made about Mayor Pete Buttigieg and sexism. If she or the other female candidates had as little political experience as the college-town mayor,earlier in the week, they would not have made it onto the debate stage, because women are “held to a different standard.”
Then, Klobuchar addressed a question that hadn’t been asked: whether American voters are ready to elect a female president. She seemed to equate gender with physical attributes—“I don’t think you have to be the tallest person on this stage to be president. I don’t think you have to be the skinniest person.”—and tried to dispel voters’ fears that a female Democratic nominee would be unable to defeat Donald Trump.
Much of this attention has focused on the only female front-runner, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and her capacity to be. The question of Warren’s likability was put to the American public before her presidential candidacy had even begun.
