Sen. Mazie Hirono to men: 'Just shut up and step up'
2018-09-20
[USATODAY] Sen. Mazie Hirono did not hold back Tuesday in her condemnation of the handling of professor Christine Blasey Ford's allegation of a decades-old sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, telling men to "shut up and step up."

The Hawaii Democrat slammed the Senate Judiciary Committee's move to hold a hearing on the allegation on Monday and said the men on the committee should join the call for an FBI investigation ahead of any testimony from Kavanaugh or Ford. Hirono is a member of the committee.

Hirono said she expected "the enlightened men in our country" to "rise up to say, 'We cannot continue the victimization and the smearing of someone like Dr. Ford.'"

#14  Lazy Mazie - it was "her turn" to be governor a while back so she phoned it in (sound familiar?). Got waxed by a republican, Linda Lingle, in Hawaii which has maybe three people who vote GOP.

#12  Since Mazie represents Hawaii, she might want to visit the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor and thank the men down there that she can speak out about her total ignorance. And also that she can do it in English rather than in Japanese.

#9  They have. Well, more like shut up and stepped away. Red pilled it, MGTOW'ed it, whatever you want to call it.

More and more they are leaving women single, alone and unmarried. And women are freaking out about it.

#6  Oh, we've stepped up sister. You never have. Until you and yours make up for that disparate impact, be prepared for push back, big time.

I see black widows and coral snakes all the time. I have not stopped going into my garage or out into the woods. I just avoid getting bitten.

#2  I stopped listening a l o n g time ago, hon. You can demand whatever. Just don't expect me to hop to your tune.

#1  "Step up" often implies "speak up", so she's saying:

"Shut and talk!"?

Is this gonna be like that "It's your duty to risk false accusations of assault by mentoring us" wheeze from some months back?
