During and after the presidential debate, Twitter was ablaze with remarks on the lameness of the moderator, with #poorjimlehrer trending all over cyberspace.
Curious as to what women had to say about the moderator and the speakers at the vice-presidential debate last night, here are some handpicked tweets by women.

.@soledad_obrien tells @EWErickson that he’s ‘lost his mind’ in criticizing moderator Martha Raddatz on losing control of #VPDebate

Paul Ryan is the kid solving calculus problems on the blackboard. Joe Biden is the kid making fart sounds in the back of the room #VPDebate

If you mute the debate it’s just two guys smiling and laughing at each other. #vpdebate

I vote Martha Raddatz moderates the first presidential debate in 2016. Smart questions, smart follow-ups, smart woman. #VPDebate

Joe Biden won – not because he was aggressive which he was – but because he didn’t let Ryan get away with making stuff up. #VPDebate
Tricia Rose @ProfTriciaRose
2 debates now barely refer 2 women, even less on the poor & zero on ppl of color & saturating power group based discrimination. #vpdebate
Mother Jones@MotherJones
Our perspective: There were two winners tonight. Martha Raddatz… and the American viewer! Great #VPdebate, y’all.
Bree Essrig @BreeEssrig
The real winner of the #vpdebate is Martha. I hope she goes home tonight and gets white-girl-wasted.
Dana Loesch @DLoesch
“What could you give to this country as a man?” WTF. #vpdebate
