“Women are more sensitive. They think about other people.”
Yeah, unlike those selfish male firefighters who went charging into the burning towers on 9-11.
After Prof. Coontz had her say, it was on to the Sam and Cokie show. Roberts opened by saying of Sotomayor that “I would agree with her” that women make better decisions. Cokie then absurdly argued that siding more often with women in sex discrimination cases is “better” because ruling against people on sex or race is irrational.
Gee, the law is so easy for Roberts: rule for the woman or the minority! But what of, say, the Ricci case? Or is it necessarily rational to rule in favor of, say, lowered strength requirements for women firefighters, when that could endanger the lives of their colleagues and of citizens at large?
Speaking of Sotomayor’s “wise Latina” line, Donaldson was of the view that she had just a “Joe Biden problem”–she “blurted out the truth.”
Such was the lack of a differing viewpoint that at one point Cokie exclaimed: “I agree completely with my colleague Sam!”
Yeah. That was precisely the problem.

Phyllis Coontz of Pitt, who declared:
“Women are more sensitive. They think about other people.”
It isn’t that they think about other people, it’s what they think about other people. Once again, Leftists confuse activity with substance.
Hi Thalpy…
I find the statement alone completely sexist…
Men are just meanies … they don’t think of other people whatsoever dontcha know!
Agreed. And to demonstrate that what she said isn’t a racist statement, I encourage any incumbent Caucasian congress-MAN or male senator to adapt the Judge’s sentence to his gender ethnic ancestry during the next campaign, and use it in reference to his opponent. (In the case of two white guys, they should describe their sexual preference, religion or heritage: gay/straight; Mic/Dego; rich/poor; Jew/Catholic).
Let’s see how that goes over.
1. Cokie Roberts is a ditz
2. Sam Donaldson is a flaming buttcheek
Soto’s husband dumped her, and she’s never had kids, so she’s “nicer” and “more sensitive” than those of us trial lawyers who’ve been married to the same woman for 26 years and who have raised wonderful children?
I call, b*llsh!t.
“Women have no sympathy… And my experience of women is almost as large as Europe. And it is so intimate too. Women crave for being loved, not for loving. They scream at you for sympathy all day long, they are incapable of giving you any in return for they cannot remember your affairs long enough to do so.” — Florence Nightingale
Hi BT.Don’t you know this is driving some pretty interesting discussion in the left coast gender studies programs right now? Do we choose to be the despicable slobs that we are, or do we just come pre-wired that way?
