I guess he never thinks of his own daughter being of an age someday.

she is not old?

Sometimes this PC crap is extreme.

I submit this is a case of that.

BTW, everything is context and relative.

I go to the supermarket every Wednesday and ask the cashier for the "old man discount" in reference to myself. I refer to senior discounts as "old man discounts."

If you are old, you are old. I have always chosen descriptive words or phrases over conventional talk.

Anyway, this place has a habit of attacking posters not posts... it's ashame.

Why not just share your experiences of work place inequities so I may understand because frankly, generally I don't.

Thanks

You mentioned her age in the context of a disqualification for the presidency. Is this a criticism you would think to level against a man? She's 68. Trump is 2 years older. Bernie is 6 years older. I don't remember you mentioning their age.

I honestly don't recall but knowing how my mind works I think I mentioned it in context to image not to capabilities. I think her very capable.

Image: be it right or wrong, I feel strongly that an "old lady" image is hard to get elected. Trump although older, does not poses this image.

Further, IMO jeane kirkpatrick, when she was relevant in such conversations was probably Hill's present age. I don't think she suffered from any such image.

Also John, my comments seem to be taken as endorsements or attacks when often, maybe most times, they are observations.
In all threads.

You start a thread called Woman's Rights and then post the most biased content in the thread about them.
