“The electorate wants people to compromise and come together,” Sen. Charles Schumer said in explaining why there are more female lawmakers on Capitol Hill now. “Women are very good at doing that.”
It's just amazing to me how it's sometimes ok to stereotype. Could you imagine anyone saying men were good at something therefore they should be elected or hearing someone say, "White people are very good at doing that."
Women are really good at compromising? Some are, some aren't. If I had a dating-age daughter, I'd certainly teach her to be uncompromising sometimes.
