WHAT I MISS ABOUT YOU

Marie Coco writes on what she will not miss about the Democratic nomination contest when it finishes. In particular she will not miss the the unrelenting, sex-based hate that has been hurled at a former first lady and two-term senator from New York.

Among the other things she will not miss are:

Seeing advertisements for T-shirts that bear the slogan "Bros before Hos." The shirts depict Barack Obama (the Bro) and Hillary Clinton (the Ho) and are widely sold on the Internet.

Walking past airport concessions selling the Hillary Nutcracker, a device in which a pantsuit-clad Clinton doll opens her legs to reveal stainless-steel thighs that, well, bust nuts. I won't miss television and newspaper stories that make light of the novelty item.

Reading another treatise by a man or woman, of the left or right, who says that sexism has had not even a teeny-weeny bit of influence on the course of the Democratic campaign. To hint that sexism might possibly have had a minimal role is to play that risible "gender card."

Most of all she says she will not miss the silence of the Democratic National Convention Committee who have never uttered a word of outrage. Read her entire article here in the Washington Post.
