a friend seen that on Facebook and was disappointed that she wasn’t wearing a full catsuit in that pattern… I was going to opine that why would they get mad when theres dozens of nude pics of the former first lady … but those are “art” … ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Bernie Sanders got plenty of heat for the way he dressed at Biden’s inauguration. John Boehner got criticized for this fake tan, and Mitch McConnell is often compared to a turtle around here; while those aren’t specifically about their wardrobe, they are equally superficial. Remind this ignorant foreigner, what elected position does Jill Biden hold? Otherwise the examples you’ve given don’t seem to be equivalent. ---

I’m 64 and I have those same stockings. I wear them all the time. Jill Biden looks great in that entire outfit. To hell with the critics. Most of the outrage is phony anyway. ---

When the same people who object to how Dr. Biden looks also objected to using that title, I don’t think you can fairly say sexism isn’t the goal. And I note that attacking Trump on his appearance was specifically because he put so much stock into it. The joke was that he was doing such a horrible job and was too dumb to notice. We weren’t trying to argue he is bad **because** of how he dresses. ---

> [@yendis](#): > > Remind this ignorant foreigner, what elected position does Jill Biden hold? Not directly elected herself, but the First Lady typically has an office and staff within the White House, advocates for issues (both her own, and the President’s), and serves a ceremonial role during the administration. My point is just that lots of political figures get criticized for their appearance. If it’s wrong, it’s wrong. It shouldn’t be fair game only when it’s directed at people you don’t like. ---
