At least now I know I haven't been overly sensitive about how women politicians are treated by the media. I cringe every time I hear stuff like that. Even positive words, like "vivacious." It might be flattering, but it's also reminiscent of a shallow romantic man trying to explain why he is in love. Physical instead of intellectual traits, as it were.
Good video. He might also have mentioned how to use a woman's name. To read that "Chris Matthews' wife is running for office," is not appropriate. She has a name, and it should be used.
