I voted for Specter, not because his comment was sexist, but because asking Bachmann to act like a lady is rather useless and stupid. It's just asking for the impossible.

If Bachmann had told Specter to act like a gentleman, this wouldn't be happening. And anyway, we do not know what shade of meaning has the term "lady" for Specter. I do not think that it implies submissiveness; in my opinion, he's just asking her to act civilly. He's not going to say "act like a citizen" or "act like human being", is he? I could be wrong, though. But as far as I cannot read Sen. Specter's thoughts, I have to believe that he had no bad intentions. Just as I think that Brown didn't hear that comment.
