Andrea Peyser Thinks Romney Is the "True Feminist Candidate," Clearly Doesn't Understand Feminism
LatestUh-oh, New York Post columnist and spiteful dickhead Andrea Peyser has a bone to pick with President Obama and a comment that he made during the first round of debates against Prez hopeful Mittly Von Ramen. Barack Obama, live on live television, called a woman “sweetie.” Ewwww, I think we can all agree that this is pretty gross, except — WAIT — it totally isn’t because the woman he called “sweetie” was his wife and he only said it while wishing her a happy anniversary. What a woman-hating monster! How did this get past us?
Peyser has this to barf up:
He lost me at “sweetie.”
President Obama wielded the cringe-worthy “S” word at the first presidential debate. He wasn’t talking to Mitt Romney.
He also was not addressing some groupie or reporter — often one and the same— but his wife, Michelle.
“I just want to wish you, sweetie, a happy anniversary,” the president said to silent groans from assembled females. And me.
He lost her at sweetie. He had her and then he said it and then he didn’t have her anymore. Peyser was thinking about voting for Obama — seriously, you guys, he had her — and then he blew it by affectionately/degradingly wishing his wife — HIS WIFE! Not some reporter floozy who deserves a good degrading, but his wife who he is MARRIED to — a happy anniversary.
Let’s go out on a limb and give Peyser the smallest scrap of credit (I know, I can’t believe it either). Back on the 2008 campaign trail, Obama did have an ugly habit of calling women — in this case, strangers — demeaning terms of endearment. It was bad. He got called out on it. He stopped. Should we give him credit for cutting out what he never should have done in the first place? Absolutely not, but we can move on because, let’s face it, we women have bigger fish to fry these days.
