Today’s subject is Cheryl Rios, a Texas CEO who posted on Facebook that she’s not particularly crazy about having a female President of the United States. She’s against Hillary Clinton, of course, but this is bigger than just that to Rios, who posted on Facebook, “Yes I run my own business and I love it and I am great at it BUT that is not the same as being the President, that should be left to a man, a good, strong, honorable man.”

She also invoked women’s hormones, as she did in a subsequent interview with KTVT. Rios said there’s a “Biblical sound reasoning” for her thinking.

Now, again, the relative newsworthiness of Rios saying this is maybe a bit oversold. Ian Tuttle alleged at the conservative National Review yesterday that this is what such coverage

is trying to get at:

What is newsworthy is what informs an ideological narrative. If the story is that “America chafes under the yoke of rampant sexism” — and since we have obliterated the distinction between thought and deed — then it is only reasonable to begin mining private opinions for evidence, which then can be — must be! for justice! — exposed. The endgame is clear: Certain opinions cannot be allowed to exist.
