Thank you Liza for doing what you are doing. You are a role model (for some reason, being a cartoonist was considered a male forte for the longest time - goes back to your reference to sexism and humor).

I also posted a response to your earlier story on this topic, and sharing again. It seems to me that the Vance's post was part of an ongoing attempt to sexualize and call to question the intelligence of a presidential candidate because of her gender (equating her with a beauty pageant contestant that is incapable of delivering a coherent answer - leaving aside the cruelty of bullying the other woman in the process). This portrayal falls flat on its face given how articulate Harris is and how well she handled the interview, but that will not matter to those that thrive on such narratives.
