New York Times Magazine is featuring an article on Wendy Davis
and the cover of the magazine is causing a little bitter controversy let's put it
up
and to discuss a little bit so it says can Wendy Davis have it all and some are
questioning whether or not
its axis which i think is the most ridiculous criticism a vault I'm
really yes wow I totally disagree
why is that sexist sure you know what we're gonna have to drop it drop it
all right now here's why is sex is that a
in I'm blue-eyed ok we've discussed may have you know me well you don't be
overly sensitive in
I get your feelings all hurt and then like everything goes nuclear and it's
annoying to people right
handy just other day we partner jerry seinfeld
I am him saying yeah I have white comedians
in my show so right baby hmm so if you don't have sex and race and get hired a
wallet to
but so I didn't want to say this was sexist wife would like to think about it
okay can wendy was have it often why you the subtitles it exercises
you know who someone lies over the ambition for motherhood and political
myth-making
and being the governor but wait a minute when
repair ran for governor or just naming any male ran for governor they're not
like
crop he wants to run for governor and he's got kids can have it all
never never it's never enough
I totally see what you're saying however the burden
raising children is still not 50-50 between men and women right
I think that that's well-known men are definitely stepping up to the plate
they're playing a pivotal pivotal role in you know the child rearing these days
which is
awesome however a lotta love the
pressure and the stress still falls on the woman so as a result
its I think that it only fair to ask that question can you be a mother
and still have a successful career obviously she's already had a successful
career so I think that's the only part of it that I'm kinda like
I mean doesn't really make sense in this context however now she wants to go
further and she wants to be a democratic governor
a very very republican state so I don't have a problem with his I think that
it's a fair question to ask
they wouldn't ask if a man but that's because a lot of times mentor able to go
out there
pursue their careers the breadwinners without having to worry about doing the
majority of the child rearing
I understand realistically why you're saving and ask a question
but it's so unfair to women because it makes a sound like
are you going to you a time from your kids to run for governor
well I guess you want it all don't you
right whereas again they would never say that to a guy oh chris Christie your
takeaway
time from uterine thirteen-year-old I guess you want it all
you know how greedy view chris Christie to be a dad and a governor at the same
time
I mean wiser and why put that burden on Ohio woman why is that fair
the way to look at it from that perspective I guess it's all about
interpretation I didn't interpret it as something that
you know the New York Times is trying to say that she was
you know selfish in that she was pursuing a career against the best
interests for children I didn't get that sense at all
look this is a question that's really relevant not only to Wendy Davis but to
all women I mean this is a question that
you know me my friend ask ourselves all the time can we have it all
because you're working you want to build a career for yourself but at the same
time
raising kids that's the most difficult thing to Mashable and if you don't have
the resources for a nanny
if you don't have a maternity leave if you don't have certain resources at your
disposal
it's going to be difficult to do it so I think since so many women have to ask
themselves that question
it's fair to ask about Wendy Davis before a low dose is one last comment
for me
images Los look at republicans right I Mitt Romney had five kids nobody arrest
him hey can you have it all
to you ran a successful business now he also said a housewife he had a housewife
I'm just has a housewife I should say right right Anderson
Sarah Palin had the first dude but everybody's like all now you got too
many kids and one of them has issues in
you know to as developmentally challenged to whatever the right words
are
so okay all you are now you're on her vice president he really have it all
so that another pair so why did she get that extra burden
and Mitt Romney doesn't I just I i find out for art
Justice Jackson I I think clinton's but intensely they work to
to a sexist thing but I don't think they were thinking I let stand on because of
her stories to talk about you had a kid early and then she struggled through
that and then
you know the story the has been helping her out in they've been hittin with all
these different things
now they can she have it all could be thinking now she's forced to be in this
lower level woman
who she got to be this far to the partition
calm down but not so like piss off I think that kinda went that way without
thinking we've been condition as you say or not it's crazy to think men
can't read our don't raise their kids we think that way it's good I know they do
white button in the majority in relationships I still think that there's
a little inequality when it comes to raising kids I think the majority of the
burden is still on the woman right
yet again it will become much more progressive thankfully and guys are
stepping in and they're doing a lot of housework and all that other stuff
up but the reason why I don't have a problem with it again
is because as a woman I can relate to that that's not a question that people
are asking of me that's a question I ask myself
same with my friends can we have it all because it's incredibly difficult
to have a successful career and raise children the same time yeah but in this
case
political climate it puts an undue burden on her and she I don't think they
did it on purpose now in New York Times I
how let's get Wendy Davis raid but I mean like but I'd that doesn't excuse it
to me I mean
if they put up a picture of Cory Booker and said is a good a basketball
I don't care be a mentor didn't mean it that way you in a way to me that's
that's an issue right
so I just as good on
at you both make really good arguments I want to lean towards an up but I'd
rather at staying
because all all or I thinking makes a good point in liking not know that cats
bright with any other male candidates so
I never thought that way but agassi anna's point a little clearer
near alright haha thanks God I thought he was going to love and a
so now it's too won an obsession
so we went sexist sorry now
well we do have a woman here does the woman wanna jump in a little bit know
how old should be allowed women to get voice is here
we bought them down you see on the New York Times a sexist the very fact bad
the you know we asked this question yes it is sexist we should not
the fact that you know the burden is still on women
and it's not like you know she's on she's running for governor right she
could have a man just as easily
I don't see how her being a mom would stop her from having anything
that she would want to achieve in life %um
yeah I look it's not to say that in this point is a good time with haces you made
really good points and
you know it's its increasing the different perspective that you come from
but nonetheless you now
further out-voted so anyway right guard I
the Supreme Court things up like this
