Former Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson said today following the budget signing that her gender likely was a reason she was deposed by now-majority leader Sen. Russ Decker.
"I was told I was 'too nice' to be a leader. I think that's a gender issue. I think it's sexist, and I told the person who said that it's a sexist comment," she said.
"All women leaders in the Legislature have had coups against them. It's the nature of being a woman leader - or I should say the fallout of being a woman leader."
What is Robson saying?
Is she saying that all women are "nicer" than men?
She says that "nice" is a gender issue.
Women can't be successful leaders because they're "too nice"?
Robson thinks she was a victim of a coup because of her womanly niceness.
She's resigned to the fact that it's the "fallout of being a woman leader."
Right.
That Margaret Thatcher was a real sweetheart, too nice for the job.
Robson's comments are ridiculous. Saying that her ouster is gender-related does a disservice to women.
She shouldn't be blaming her failure on sexist stereotypes.

For anyone with commonsense, this is not a case of gender bias. But then, I can see your inability to understand simple things in life. I always wondered why there are so few conservatives in Universities, creative fields and scientific communities!! ;)
What are you talking about?
Really.
Apparently, you believe that Robson lacks commonsense since she considers the coup against her to have been a matter of gender.
Of course it's not a case of gender bias. That's what makes Robson's claim that it is so lame.
Really, really lame.
