Um @singernews when you said voters want "a strong man, a superman" on @hardball just now I assume you meant "strong man or woman." Right?
@rachelsklar I'm not sure about that. I wonder if female candidate gets disadvantaged in times of fear b/c archetype is male

@singernews Well if you're not sure about that then it's worth clarifying, but you presented the point in absolute form with one pronoun.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@singernews Tho I take issue with that point.@HillaryClinton's strength (& qualifications) are well-established. Trump's bluster, less so.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@singernews I'd also think Hillary is perceived as stronger/tougher than Bernie Sanders (& actually entire GOP field.) Hard to dismiss her.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@singernews Back to Trump: Can't think of an analogue in toughness. Juxtaposed to actual tough guys (say, Clint) he seems empty & soft.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@singernews Anyway: Words matter & default male pronouns exclude women from consideration. Outdated in general & inaccurate for this field. -
@rachelsklar I will attempt to more carefully watch my pronouns -
@singernews Thank you! It is much appreciated. Have a good weekend (with no more news).
