Someone unearths a 1986 interview in which Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor says she's found that male colleagues unconsciously discriminate against women when promoting, because a man in a male-dominated profession, who's had almost exclusively male mentors and peers, will see in male candidates the closest reflection of what they've come to regard as the standard for the job.
Conservative cesspool of journalistic sewage Townhall.com posts the video under the headline "Sotomayor 1986: I Found Men Unconsciously Discriminate Against Women" and with a single line of commentary: "Obviously, this woman has an unchanging worldview."
Hey, dipshits: If misogynist men would change their worldviews, then we could change ours!
And happily would.
