Josh Marshall has a meta-post about readers' favorite posts or themes and one was his formulation of "bitch slap" later "dominance" politics.
In this environment of reality TV/professional wrestling politics, where being "alpha" takes primacy, it's going to be exceedingly hard for a female politician to counter that. Again, I'm not saying I endorse the conclusion, but a woman who engages in "dominance" politics is a "bitch" and if she doesn't, she's too weak to be a leader.
Regrettable, but I again think that our first female president will almost have to be a Republican.
