Massachusetts's sexism is well-documented.

Excellent point.

It was explainable with the U.S. Senate: Ted Kennedy had 47 years and John Kerry had 29 years. So approximately 76 years combined with their representing Massachusetts with U.S. Senate seats. (This was prior to Elizabeth Warren, having unseated Scott Brown, in 2012.)

The governorship, though, is inexcusable. For Texas to have had at least one woman rep at the governorship level while Massachusetts has not hones in on either the Democrats in the state of Massachusetts sucking...or they're not nominating women for the governorships in midterm election years the party will win. No matter what it is, it certainly isn't inspired. And it shouldn't be tolerated for much longer. Next time the Democrats win the governorship of Massachusetts, there is no reason it cannot get done with a woman.

Are you serious? Aren't we supposed to be treating both men and women equally instead of trying to get women into office just because of their gender? It's idiotic to me to support someone just based off of that metric.
