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.
