Hideous headline, @TheAtlantic. Do better. @IsaacDovere presumably didn't write it, but could get it changed. https://t.co/uHfj6TUJQU

In a profile for The Atlantic, Harris is referred to as “the Jan Brady of the 2020 race” in the web headline. While the author uses the reference in relation to Harris’ repetitive answers on the campaign trail (repeatedly saying she would want to have “a conversation” about an issue), using the Jan Brady reference also mines stereotypes about women’s intellectual inferiority and/or doubts about women’s competency to be political leaders.
