  • So it is sexist to say women are aggressive? That's odd because feminists have been saying that about men for decades. And Sotomayor is a sexist and a racist she has proven it with her own words. Here is a question for you feminists. is it not sexist to put a latina woman in a position of power merely because she is a latina woman? Don't feminists acuse white men of doing the same thing for white men? Why is that wrong but not to do so far a latina woman?

  • "Liberal Intelligence"

    Truly, the worlds most profound oxymoron!

  • How come you feminist never fought for men's rights? can you answer that? You know what I find funny, is that in the 60's and the 70's women were fighting for their liberation from their gender roles, at the same time milliones of young men were being drafted to fight and die in Vietnam, yeah you were really oppressed. I don't get it, if feminism is for equality for both sexes, then why have men's gender roles never been addressed by your group, seems one sided to me, fuzzy enough. Later.

  • I hope you two enjoy your lives with your 57 cats.

  • The American prospect...?lol The politically handicapped is more like it. Liberalism is amjoke...and not a very fucking funny one.

  • What is sexist is defending this woman becouse she is a woman.

  • No, it's not sexist to question Sotomayer's qualifications just as it is not sexist to question Kagan's qualifications. Are they even close to John Roberts? How many men with superior qualifications and experience were overlooked for the sexist nomination of a woman?

  • lol were'nt there two women on the court before her?

    pointless question

  • Have they considered that it's possibly TRUE that she's angry and judgmental? Even occasionally? Have they considered that it's not a worldwide conspiracy to keep her out because of her sex and skin color? Maybe the people who wrote those criticisms caught her on a bad day?

    He's a journalist! He's entitled to his opinion.

  • Death to America! These ladies are no better than Muslim Terrorists! They don't even realize that they are brain damaged control freaks who despise real men!
