Zerlina Maxwell: ‘Women Are Not Allowed To Be Angry in the Same Way Men Are, Particularly Black Women’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MAXWELL: "Right. We have to be honest about this in this moment. Women are not allowed to be angry in the same way men are. Particularly black women, joy. So there are different levels to it. But obviously she couldn’t come out and yell at the senators and push back at the senators and cry and rant and rave the same way he was able to do. And not only is the temperament not appropriate for somebody who wants to be a Supreme Court justice, you couldn’t even go into a job interview at Dunkin donuts and behave that way and get the job. I can’t believe anyone can look at his performance on Thursday, which actually, as the days go by, it looks crazier. So when you were watching it live, you were like, wow, he looks angry. I could imagine him being a mean drunk. I really can, just to be honest. Each day that goes by, it looks even crazier because it’s so unusual for someone seeking that type of office to behave in this way in public."
