Forbes Tweets About Biden’s Next Moves But Kamala’s Outfit, Twitter Calls Out Sexism

The 46th President of the United States Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in today and their inauguration was nothing but historic. Winds of change grace 2021 as we see Kamala Harris inaugurated to the office – the first woman ever to become the Vice President of the United States.

Yes, it is 2021. And with all the awareness and activism surrounding sexism and racism, Forbes is currently being slammed online for its blatant sexist reportage on Kamala Harris, in comparison to that of Joe Biden.

Two tweets posted by Forbes, one on Biden and the other on Harris, shows a stark difference. On one hand, they pondered upon Biden’s next political moves as he takes office. However, on the other hand, they pondered upon what Harris would wear.

Have a look at the two tweets here:

Kamala Harris just created history and Forbes focused on what she would wear – this angered people online. Many highlighted how if this would have been a fashion magazine, it would still have been acceptable. But Forbes essentially focuses on business and leadership – something which went missing from the tweet addressing Harris.

A woman is much, much more than what she wears. But alas, as one Twitter user pointed out, the more things change, the more things stay the same.
