Op-Ed: Elizabeth Warren brushed off Bernie's handshake and taught a master class in handling sexism (via latimesopinion)
Sure, during the debate, Sanders had gaslighted Warren over whether he told her a female candidate couldn’t win the 2020 election. But now he wanted her to forgive and forget. If he could be seen shaking her hand, he might be off the hook. But... nope. Warren didn’t play along. Sanders huffed off.
Sanders understandably wants to preempt one of those horror shows. Panic over being canceled is very real, especially for ruling-class men like Bernie, who despite his socialist tendencies is also a millionaire and U.S. senator. But Sanders in his fear couldn’t summon anything like the humor and irony of “SNL.” Or the self-awareness.
At the same time, who cares what Sanders said in a casual meeting? If Warren had told Sanders a Jewish man pushing 80 can’t win because the country’s too anti-Semitic and ageist, she’d have had nothing to be ashamed of. When the Sanders campaign said Warren lied, and Sanders himself insisted outrageously on his feminist bona fides , andtried to buttonhole Warren into a handshake only to storm off when he couldn’t seal the deal — all that only enacted the sexism he was at pains to deny.Warren’s performance told a different story. Her point was less about sexism than about winning. She coolly reviewed the records of people on stage.

What Does Sex Ed In a Post-MeToo World Even Look Like?When I was a teenager, I didn’t get even a sprinkle of a discussion about consent in my sex education classes until I was nearly out the door. Even then it was a blip of a conversation in a class that, in retrospect, seemed to revolve entirely around what different kinds of sexually transmitted diseases I could get. I considered myself lucky getting even that much, but I’ve wondered what sex education looks like today for students in a post-MeToo world, where even our president is an accused rapist.
