Women are so often held to unfair and unobtainable standards. We’re expected to work like we don’t have a family, and care for our family like we don’t have work.
It’s been less than a week since Vice President Kamala Harris embarked on her bid to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee — and her critics have already gotten personal.
Sabrina Vourvoulias, the Opinion desk’s senior editor for commentary, ideas, and community engagement, asked Philadelphia Inquirer columnists Jenice Armstrong, Jennifer Stefano, and Helen Ubiñas to weigh in on the buzz.The brouhaha over Harris’ not being a trad wife whose life revolves around children and homemaking is ridiculous. Many of us career women have plans for our lives that don’t necessarily include childrearing. Harris did not give birth. Big deal.
For Kamala, there’s lots to go after her for — her policies, her decisions as vice president, U.S. senator, and California attorney general. Kamala Harris is aggressive in defending her beliefs and views. We should be equally as aggressive in challenging her on them. We don’t exactly go easy on our male presidential candidates. Let’s be as vigorous with Vice President Harris as we are with President Trump.
And I think it’s clear between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump winning the presidency that we are not worried about whether someone who had an affair could still execute the duties of president.: Excuse me while I yawn at these basic Republicans dissing VP Kamala Harris for — shudder — not being a mother.
