It is fair to point out that when discussing male politicians, nobody mentions how "good" or "hot" they look. The day that a woman can achieve great success and not be judged for her looks is the day when true equality between the sexes will finally be achieved.

Is this a dig at anyone in particular? :scratch:

I think Pence looks hot, especially in the 'Bomber leather jacket'.
I'd turn for him if he asked me to. :heart:

You miss the running WP joke.

Oh I saw the "joke" and recognise the attempted parody of a WP member - yet you're still unlikely to do anything to verify what auntblabby said, I bet.

And this: "Hubba hubba. [reow! woof!]" under a picture of a woman is straight out of the 1950's.
No, it's not funny and no, it's not another joke I supposedly missed. It's disgustingly sexist. No woman is created for your judgement and appraisal.

It is not a "dig", and it is not directed at anyone in particular, except for those who objectify women and make sexist comments about their appearances without any regard for their humanity or their accomplishments.

Where would they go? I thought there were a bunch of international travel bans due to the pandemic.

But are a lot of women politicians judged on that though? Like who is one that is for example?

@Pepe:

Australia’s Sky News seems to parrot almost everything said on America’s Fox News, but in Australian accents. Seriously. When I hear Sky News clips they’re almost word for word the same garbage as Fox News, so, IMO they’re quite a right wing conservative news source - not a balanced one.

This is 100% BS. She is misinformed. I have a relative that works at CBSA. Canadians are Not denied entry to Canada, even during covid. Canadians are allowed to return to Canada, they just have to quarantine for 14 days. Even foreigners can be granted entry at land crossings under certain circumstances. Hell, Canadian citizens with covid symptoms are still allowed in. Canadians were never not allowed in - the biggest constraint to Canadians being stuck abroad and unable to return to Canada has been a lack of available flights, not Canada denying them entry.

She should read this & ask any questions to an agent for clarification:

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/ ... rictions_1

Also, the restrictions for non-essential travel are on land crossings. Damned near anyone of any nationality can travel to Canada from anywhere via airplane so long as they follow the rules - which now include getting a negative covid test in advance of travelling & then quarantining for 14 days.

I'll check with her again. I haven't talked to her in a few months, but she wasn't permitted when I last talked to her. Perhaps it's because of her job as a front-line worker with high risk of exposure.

This is not the first time I have met this argument.
I can both appreciate the visual appeal of a woman and appreciate their individuality.
Not everyone is 2 dimensional.
It is not one or the other, in my book, in any case.

Do you also have a problem that I find Pence extremely handsome?
Is that sexist also? :scratch:

Hubba Hubba. :heart:

All looks, but little brains or capability.

I find that very sexist, but then, you are on the left of politics, so I guess it is OK. :mrgreen:
