Women are rejecting Sanders

What won't you justify or rationalize from this known sexist? He's repeatedly treated women and their issues with condescension and dismissiveness in all kinds of fora, rushed and not. That was not anything new for him--it was a pattern that plays out over and over again for those who don't bury their heads in the sand about it.

One instance could be excused; but multiple examples of it are a warning of an irredeemable sexist. And he has blown off or demeaned women and women's issues on multiple occasions. For instance, all those times when he has harped on how the Democrats need to stop focusing on "identity politics," which has never been anything but a code from clueless white men with too much unearned privilege telling women and minorities that the issues they care about aren't important. Or, almost as bad, for the dumb women and minorities to sit down and be quiet while the white bois decide what's best for them.

Braying about identity politics ( and "political correctness" ) is always a silencing tactic, and it's sexist to silence women (and racist with minorities) when they're speaking out about what issues matter to them.
