    Might be remembering wrong, but wasn't the central trope of the media's coverage of Ted Cruz that he was eminently "unlikable"? Why is this suddenly considered an exclusively "gendered" description?

        Yup. In a similar, vein "robotic" has been used as a critique of Al Gore, John Kerry, and Mitt Tomney, but Sam Bee once argued it was gendered when used against HRC.

        It’s a strategy to combat criticism of a candidate/position: If a word is frequently used in criticism, stigmatize the word to shame people into no longer using it. Repeat until people can’t use the words necessary to disagree effectively, rendering criticism nearly impossible.

        Camille Paglia said Ted Cruz had a strange, womanly face, so maybe they think they're being consistent.

        Maybe I'm reaching here, but sometimes I could swear that a lot of people seem to describe The President in ways that could give one the impression that they find him unlikable. Is it just me?

        The media writes rules as they go, and the rules are always written to serve their own purposes. For example, Jake Tapper went after McChrystal when he fell out with Obama, but said a General shouldn't be attacked when Trump responded to McChrystal's criticism.

        Sassie with Massie is a catchphrase used by supporters and eventually himself. Thomas Massie is male.
