I watched bits and pieces of the hearing in the senate. Already she has me disappointed.
When Ted Cruz asked her how she would inspires young girls. Barret replied "I tell my daughters, 'Anything boys can do, girls can do better. But boys are good too."'
Not only is this not physically true, but it fuels the feminist narrative that the best way to encourage girls is to marginalize boys. I think it's a vile thing for a mother to say with her sons right there in the audience. Sure you might point out that she said Boys are good too, but that's just table scraps. A serious double standard: if a man said this in reverse, with his daughters present, he'd be deemed a misogynist and chased out of town.
Well, at least the feminist left can rejoice that one of their own is filling the seat of Ruth Bater Ginsberg
