Reply #55: Some may be human nature? [View All]

I haven't had time to read all the posts, so forgive me if this has already been brought up....

Isn't it possible that some of this may just be human nature? By that I mean that it is just as possible that a man turns to speak to your husband more out of the idea that he feels more connected and more in common with another man than another woman. It's kind of along the same lines that if a man and a woman interview for a job with a male interviewer and both are of equal qualifications, it may be more likely that the man gets hired -- not because the interviewer has a problem with women, but because we all tend to connect more with those we feel we have something in common. Now I'm not saying this is right, just pointing out that it doesn't necessarily mean the man sees women as inferior.

I agree with your point, though, when you ask the question regarding how he hopes to make it in politics when he shuns 52% of the voting public. What are his stances on issues important to women? Maybe "shun" is too strong a term -- but as a politician and potential leader, the ability to connect with those one doesn't necessarily feel connection with is a talent that an amateur needs to cultivate.
