How can strength and intelligence be magically transformed from good things to bad things?

[guillaumeb]

Everyone admires a strong leader. Everyone admires intelligence, and attitude, in a leader.

So how can these positive qualities magically transform into negatives in a leader, and in a political candidate?

The easiest way that these positives can become negatives is if the candidate in question happens to be female.


The first example is, of course, HRC.

Second, Elizabeth Warren.

And if the female happens to be non-white, the negatives are, of course, magnified many times over.


And this misogyny, coupled with the ever present racism, will govern how every female candidate on the Democratic side is treated by the corporate, conservative media.

Always put your low rolls into Charisma and Wisdom (unless you’re a Cleric.)

2. Whatever his faults, and they are many, Trump has charisma.

And so does Bush Jr.

But imagine Trump as female, and a Democrat. How would the media have treated his constant lies and his actual business record?
