That Warren isn't doing better in the Democratic primary feels personal, to me & to so many women in my life. We know what it is to be hyper prepared, to have the plans, to do the necessary work & then some, to smile & try to be likable, to bring the energy & enthusiasm...1/3
To skate that absurdly thin line between passionate & "not too emotional," angry & acceptable, relatable & professional. To do things as right as can be done, and yet still be passed over (& over looked) in favor of men. And this bar is even higher for women of color. 2/3
Listen, I like Bernie (some of his supporters, not so much). But would he be where he is- messy hair, yelling, unwillingness to discuss personal life, etc- if he was a woman? I doubt it.
Anyway, its not over. But I just wanted to say that some of us are tired. And a bit sad. 3/3
