      Who’s the Right Kind of Woman, Joe? Biden’s team is fine with a female VP, as long as they’re sure she’ll step out of the frame.https://www.thecut.com/2020/08/how-did-biden-pick-his-vice-president.html …

      “The kind of powerful woman who can be easily liked & admired by colleagues & rivals (even if that affection is short-lived) is the kind of woman who is willing to step out of the frame, to disappear herself & her presence from any public record of political achievement.”

      The selection that was surely intended to signal the 77yo former vice-president’s feminist bona fides has devolved ... into insulting spectacle, reliant on the perpetuation of ancient sexist & racist tropes about which kinds of women & which kinds of female power are attractive.

      “She will be coming aboard a campaign that has shown how unseriously it takes the historic & fraught role she will be playing, how little it’s considered how to defend her from the heaps of sexist & perhaps racist garbage ... some of which that campaign will have seeded itself.”

      Male VPs may be expected to fall in line behind their male presidents, but they are also often widely understood to be willing to make this sacrifice in part because the job sets them up as presidents-in-waiting, something that this summer has taught us is off the table for women

      It’s these guys, with their habits and histories that have never really been held against them ... are why we haven’t had a female vice-president or president or a Black woman governor and only two Black women in the Senate ever in the history of this country.
