In response to our objection about the objectification of female candidate Elena Parent, as a Barbie doll, Peach Pundit called Georgia WIN List’s comments “adorable” and bemoaned our sense of humor. I’m sure every one of their mostly GOP readers was busily looking up“misandrists”…. another word hurled our way.
No, we are not men-haters. In fact, we have the support of many great progressive Men for WIN, from Dubose Porter to Roy Barnes and Jason Carter. They see women as equals and partners in the political process, not adorable dolls to be toyed with. As for our sense of humor, there is nothing funny about women having less than 25% representation in our state government, and NO representation at the federal level.
Georgia’s WIN List is a political action committee that works for and supports qualified women to run for state offices. As demonstrated by the frat boy humor of Peach Pundit and the sexist, paternalism of the Georgia legislature, you can see how desperately our work is needed and why we need your support today. The Men For WIN that work with us are secure enough to support strong, qualified women.
Peach Pundit, with their flaccid response, shows us just what kind of guys they are.
