A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I've noticed that too. It was the same with "Hillary."
Using the last name is a sign of respect that they don't think women deserve.
I was having this conversation the other day. Pelosi came up as a counterexample.
Now I'm not sure where the line is between subtle disrespect and simply using the more distinctive part of a candidate's name.
Huh, I haven't really heard people call her "Nancy". Last time I recall her coming up amongst Republicans, it was "Pelosi" with a reference to the attack on her husband.
I could never bear to watch any of his speeches. Too cringe painful.
