Each face she made was perfectly toned and timed, and treated Pence with the response that he deserved; speaking and looking at him like a toddler who needs to be taught why you can’t do bad things: Patient, if a little put out. Smarter than him, but willing to explain.
Pence's face? So stiff that a house fly was able to land in his hair mid-debate and meander for several minutes, unmoved. 🪰

1) That's stupid
2) This has nothing to do with Barrett being an "accomplished woman" and everything to do with venerating a particular brand of femininity (ie pretty white mothers who read as docile)

Like no one was worried about coming across as a bully when questioning Cecile Richards or Hillary Clinton
To a certain extent, this is what made Christine Blasey Ford difficult for the GOP - she read as quiet and docile. That's why they didn't attack her as a liar, but instead kept saying she was "mistaken."

On behalf of the *many* women for whom pregnancy has been life-threatening, fuck you
I was fortunate to get sick far enough along in my pregnancy that doctors could deliver my daughter to save my life - that wouldn't have been the case just a few weeks earlier.

You'd rather see women die than watch them have control over their own bodies. You're a disgrace.
Also, @SenTedCruz, try reading a book or study once in a while! It's not hard! vox.com/2020/1/30/2111…
