I don't see politicians as male or female and could not care less what sex they are. Are they fit for office is the real question.

Female politicians are just hit with some special charges related to their sex. But male and female politicians are hit with all kinds of shit all the time. Compared to the avalanche of accusations that go to both, having some special accusations because you're a woman politician is not much. Plus, in the current PC climate, most respected outlets don't do that at all -- it's down to the "yellow press" so to speak to do that.

(Besides most, if not all, deserve to be called all kinds of shit anyway, as they are crappy politicians, male or female).

Convenient to ignore the abuse heaped on female politicians (hell any professional) daily. Again, denial that there's a whole special category of female-bashing is not an argument. I recommend reading up on it.

Get of of HN and back to Jezebel.

The position that females face 'bullying' every day in business and politics is beyond false. It's that kind of rubbish narrative that drives otherwise normal people to vote for a crazy person like Trump.
