Or, you know, a graduate of Barnard. But sure why not go dismissively for “actor”?

Because it’s her profession. Or is governor of Illinois an entry-level position now?

Just irks me that potential political candidates, usually women, are dismissed for superficial reasons. Bloomberg was a finance guy. I don’t yet know Nixon’s policy agenda, position, experience, knowledge of the issues. But to dismiss her because she’s an actor? C’mon.

Not being qualified is far from superficial. It is incredibly important. Don’t dare tell me I’m saying what I’m saying because someone’s woman. You don’t get to do that to ME. I can think fucking straight, and I’d say the same about any actor, regardless of gender, so fuck off

...or she's displayed poor judgement, or doesn't have a grasp of the state wide issues. But "oh you're 'silly" because you're an actor"? Anyhoo... i guess there's no walking this one back. you came out fighting. hope this hasn't unduly ruined your evening. all the best

Is CN unqualified? I don’t know. What qualifies you for a gubernatorial candidacy? What I do know is she’s not unqualified ‘because’ she’s an actress. That’s what Fiona’s original post implied.
