Senator Dianne Feinstein's career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

      Fuck off, that shit is old as hell

      No democrat hated Feinstein because she was a woman, pretending that's the only reason just makes you look like your completely ignorant of American politics.

          Women can be assholes just like men can be.

          Refusing to admit that is what's sexist, not mentioning a specific woman is an asshole

            I don't think anyone is refusing to admit that. It's just that when you are a male and you're an asshole and you die in office you're not a bitch and a cunt, you're a fighter, died doing what you loved.

            Come on. I was not born yesterday. Were you? Have you really not noticed this double standard within your own life?

                Well you're right that they do exist in my head, but then I'm not ignorant and have seen some shit. Perhaps once you encounter it for yourself you'll be like "oh yeah that really does happen! Ha!" It's your lens, lack of empathy or experience, that has kept it from you thus far.

      What bizarre white-knighting.

      It could just be that an abhorrent politician has earned her reputation by her own merit rather than by gender.
