Sotomayor 1986: I Found Men Unconsciously Discriminate Against Women

[11220joe]

........and is her story any different from a man's story who is at the top and has had a divorce due to his commitment at work getting his attention rather than the duties at home? My father was a lawyer, his time was consumed by work, my uncle worked for the CIA, he has had 2 divorces. Once again, it's just another woman feeling sorry for herself. On top of that, real men don't go out with women who concentrate on their careers, cause real men want to take care of a woman, not vice versa.

[TheDrRJP]

Sorry, Sonia, but your arrogance towards men and wanting to emasculate your husband are the reasons for your divorce. My Gosh, what real man would want to marry her?

[LordFeeblelongdick]

And this stupid bitch is now a federal judge...? God SAVE US!!

[mikefnm]

racist lesbo

[mikefnm]

Sotomayor is a dude

[freedomanddemocracy]

She is right otherwise we were not discussing yet today in 2009 different pays between men and women .... as supported by all the GOP

[jjragilesjj]

Yikes!

[holeymoley24]

Hell, even Xena was frustrated with wimpy emasculated guys like Joxer around!

[holeymoley24]

Ohhhhh, yeeeeeahhhh... from the HEIGHT of the "we need men to be more effeminate era!" You see, after the 1980's, women became increasingly more frustrated because women like this told them they all need to be more in touch with their "feelings". Hence, we were rewarded with effeminate crybaby starship captains like Picard instead of the very manly potbellied womanizing Kirk.

[Minionuup]

Thats a woman? No wonder she hates men. She has no choice but to be a femanzi.

[Eyerleth]

Oh my God, she said something eminently reasonable and demonstrably true about the nature of our society! CRUCIFY HER!

[greenfin111]

shes got some freaky eyebrows,wtf?

[sedicenobufalo]

fuckin love those eyebrows. mmmm.

[Wilbur665]

PC Nonsense.

[Wilbur665]

Of course we do, deary, of course we do. Get me a cold beer, will ya? Thanks, hon.

[BombasticBobby]

Bitter fucking moron... she ugly as shit too... think that that may have lead to your divorce! God who would ant to fuck that ugly piece of shit!

She's gay anyway!

[NoCensorshipYT]

First thing I thought too.

GAY, GAY, GAY!

She hates men.

Oh yeah, we need someone like THAT on the Surpreme Court.

NOT!

[HomophobeGetsSmacked]

Except she is more intellectual than you, daddy, and the trailer combined.

Best of all....she's going to be CONFIRMED. And will be on the Supreme Court for LIFE. Boo hoo hoo!

[pete129]

She should NOT be a Supreme Court Justice! Just another of Obama's bad picks. Isn't it interesting that Obama is attempting to rush everyone of his policies through before people know what happened? He's trying to get her confirmation through quickly. Trying to get Nationalized Health Care passed in the night and before Congress goes on it's break. It's because he knows that the makeup of Congress is going to change in 2010 and fears he won't get all this through with proper discussion.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

That is one UGLY MAN!

[KCUAC]

hmmmmmm.......... she uses an analogy of a man asking a woman out 3 times before he gets the idea she is not interested........ seriously, do you think this has ever happened to her before...... I am thinking she may have been playing the part of the "MAN" who got turned down three times...... eah butch?

[EncompassedRunner]

weird, none of the 3 times she gave were, "No, I'm not interested in going out with you, ever," but were just a bunch of excuses, she just could not give those guys an honest answer, then she blamed *them*! Unbelievable.

[spreadyl]

Privileged groups being normalized. Read about it.

[mikalpe]

She is a Latina Supremacista...

[ODshadowkat]

3 times? That guy must have been a real loser.

[bumerry]

This seemed like a nuanced and well expressed understanding of most prejudices. Even people with good intentions have certain internal stereotypes and act on them when they're on autopilot. Sensible enough, if you are actually listening to what she says instead of what you wish she'd said.

Also - um, 20+ years ago? Maybe what she says now is more relevant to her nomination.

[regurgitatedlie]

Okay, I'm with Flirmy. What was odd about what she said? Seems like common sense to me.

[Flirmy]

nothing she said sounded unreasonable or untrue to me

[VeritasNosLiberabit]

I suppose the real question is: Is there any inherent difference, with the exception of obvious physical differences, between men and women?

The God of The Bible says yes, but our modern culture has zapped the joy and beauty out of the woman's role of keeping the house. For some reason we think that a woman who stays home, who raises children and helps her husband in his calling, is somehow inferior- but if she does the same thing at a restaurant, it's OK. Why is that?

[MrEMR1976]

She's obsessed with a couple things - stickin' it to white men is the first. And she's obsessed with racial politics and ethnic bean-counting. Never did I think I'd see the day when an overt racist was nominated to be on the SCOTUS. We finally understand what Obama's post-racial politics really means: whitey = bad.

In a few short months, Obama has already carved out his spot as the worst president in the history of this country.

"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." --Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820. ME 15:278
