How would you respond if this question was thrown at you?

  


Does anybody watch the show Scandal? My roommate talks about this show more than anything and I have been thinking about binge watching this show for awhile now. I watched a clip on Youtube and I just want to say, Lisa Kudrow's guest starring role is powerful. Her strong female character in this show is known as congresswoman running for president and she makes a very strong statement to a sexist question,
"You lack the experience to be president of United States?" - Watch Here!


Her remarkable response is pretty inspirational, in my opinion, because you don't see many strong female characters on television. Additionally, she points out one of her biggest achievements. As the congresswoman served in  the army for seven years; the journalist never acknowledged her as a brave soldier. There are so many of us out there that are involved in a situation where we don't realize gender inequality takes place. It takes a strong woman to put herself out there and speak her mind to say a question like that is offensive. It is unfortunate that we see it all the time.
I think everyone should watch this clip  and maybe it can inspire you to stand up and speak your mind, or maybe even be more cautious of what you say.
