Stop the Victimology. Failures of Any Color, Gender Must Go.

As a society we have to denounce and shut this kind of garbage down.
A dozen female members of the House staunchly defended U.N. ambassador Susan Rice against Republican criticism over her remarks on the deadly Sept. 11 Libya attack, suggesting the GOP lawmakers' comments were racist and sexist.
It is a great social good and true progress that we have more women and minorities in powerful and responsible roles in society, but we can't let powerful people dodge accountability due to their race or gender.  This is the big leagues and if you can't handle it and need coddling, then get out.  We all have a stake in your performance, sometimes a frighteningly large stake, so we can't let you hide behind your gender of the hue of your skin.  You wanted a chance to do important things, if you're not up to the task, you must go.
