‘Lenny Letter’ writer dismisses GOP women, never gave Fiorina a chance

While I consistently find myself stuck in an inner battle of liking HBO’s Girls and disliking its lead actress and writer, Lena Dunham, I nonetheless signed up for her “feminist newsletter,” Lenny Letter. I don’t disagree with Dunham on every single political issue, but I do on most and find her comments about the Republican Party extremely offensive.

Thus, I was not surprised when one of the first issues of Lenny Letter contained an interview with Hillary Clinton. Nor was I surprised when other female Democrats, such as Debbie Wasserman Schultz, were interviewed in following issues. Nor am I surprised that not a single female Republican has yet to be interviewed by the publication. I was surprised, however, at how much I enjoyed reading an article in Monday’s Lenny Letter about voting for Hillary Clinton.

The articled, titled There’s No Such Thing As “Voting with Your Vagina,” discusses the accusation that female Clinton supporters only are so because she too is a woman.

“The last time I checked, my uterus was not a sentient being,” wrote the author, Jessica Grose. “Here’s what the ‘voting with your genitals’ accusation is really telling other women: you’re too hysterical to use your pretty head.”

I’m glad that Grose called out this sexist assumption, and I’m also glad that she went on to admit that she’s skeptical of Clinton’s “pathological secrecy.” But what I liked most about the article was the fact that she later defended conservative women.
