Is it really unacceptable that “Woman” is not mentioned even once in the US Constitution?
(D) presidential hopeful Eric Swalwell seems to think so.
But, “Do you know how many times the word ‘Man’ is mentioned in the Constitution? Zero,”

I'm sorry...But, sometimes stupidity is downright offensive it's so deep...
I stopped being incredulous about things like this.
This guy is not the only one. I believe about 80% of Congress has the same IQ and intelligence level as he is exhibiting. Except that we become aware only when they want to make waves and open their mouth.
It infects both Chambers: think of Mazie Hirono, and she is a Senator. Or Gillibrand.
O'Rourke is right there, not to mention the newly minted House members.
It is so numbing you just give up.
Is there any other "field" you can get away with the extent of ignorance and stupidity? And malice?
I had a friend who ran for Congress and unseated a long time incumbent.
He was a professor at the University and became bored by the daily routine so he thought becoming a Rep would be fun.
He was a very bright guy who was an intellectual partner.
He was elected and his dumbing down commenced. He was doing things we (friends and family) were unable to grasp and find justification for. He and a few others went in front of the cameras to demonstrate their "commitment" to the people which came across as something a 5 yo would do. His wife was petrified at the juvenile actions.
He was a Republican, btw, meaning that the disease affects both sides. I remember his words when he arrived in DC, full of ambition to "do good". Quckly he realized that was not why he was there. He was told "you do this for yourself", not for your constituents.
He went through a fundamental transformation while in DC: divorced her wife of two decades and married a girl younger than his daughter.
So much for ethics and substance.

If you can't make it as a teacher, go into politics.

I totally support the idea about having citizens question potential candidates about the Constitution. Of course, that requires that people actually learn about the Constitution - a job that public education has shied away from since the 60's. It used to be in the Founders' days that the Constitution (and many a political discussion) was held in the local churches and town halls. Now churches are hounded by the IRS for engaging in "political" speech and the only "town hall" meetings we have are meet-and-greets. Its a sad state of affairs for our nation.
vironmentalism and stuff about "climate change"; from one side or the other, either way it is wrong, and the solution is to have a separation of education and state, like the separation of church and state.
Anyway, I think we just need more options. More options to help kids learn according to their abilities especially. I think too many bright kids get held to the lowest common denominator in public schools. And there are definitely some kids which are so disruptive in public schools that they shouldn't be there at all (kindergartners are the worst, high schoolers next).
Note: All of the tweets I saw were from WOMEN.

My dad taught me to go with facts, and be prepared to compete in the business world on the basis of ability, not some gender difference. That means, when someone want s my vote, show me the programs, reasons, and fiscal data. Don't try to manipulate me, Mr. Swahwell, that is demeaning and it makde me angry.
the voting bobble-heads who prop up these clueless clowns as some kinda ooo-weee great thinkers.
Then we have people indignant that Swalwell's indignant because the Constitution didn't mention the word man and therefore didn't codify the lack of liberty that existed at the time.
I suspect even Mary Wollstoncraft, one of the founders of feminism, would have been confused by this discussion if she observed it at the time when the US Constitution was ratified. Not only did the US succeed, their second attempt at a constitution succeeds, they become a regional power, then a superpower and model for nation states everywhere. Americans 200 years (after 1788) will struggled to understand why they didn't do the "obvious" thing and include ideas from A Vindication of the Rights of Women in the Constitution.
Equality seems so obvious to me, even I can wonder why they didn't just go the next obvious step in the 18th Century. We live in an amazing time for liberty.
