Me too!! I literally saw a fundamentalist Christian woman comment a few days ago that a woman should never be president, especially one who is going through menopause.
Actually, my wife has pointed that out to me several times over the years. I figure her perspective on such things is a hell of a lot better than mine.
Some of the saddest things I heard when I was canvassing was "I don't vote" or "my husband tells me who to vote for" (the latter wasn't in a "and I must obey" way, but "I've no idea what's going on so I ask him").
That and "how will you have time to do this when you've got kids?" 😐
Can’t tell you how many posts I’ve seen on the other site that we should repeal the 19th Amendment. Women unironically saying all women should not have a voice and only listen to their husbands. How do you fight this kind of mentality?
There’s a lesson here. Don’t nominate a woman. It may not sit well with some people but a woman shouldn’t even be considered for the Dem nod going forward. The goal is to win, not to feel good about being the first at something.
The caste system traps everyone. Women are raised in the same racist and sexist country and internalize those beliefs too. Of course I am angered and disappointed at my fellow white women, but I am also not shocked.
A friend of mine worked the polls. She was heartbroken at the women, including women of color, who voted for him. Now, her 19 yo college freshmen is worried about her future😢
No, it's because Trump cheated. The fact you're using the opportunity to reply with a news article that you clearly made yourself to promote your business is scummy enough.
Watching all this go down outside of the US I am completely perplexed. The amount of people voting against their own rights (and the amount of people saying they voted for cheaper eggs?) Is mind-boggling.
They’re lying in public. It’s got nothing to do with the price of groceries. They’re all about racism, bigotry, mixed with the desire to punish the left. My FB feed is full of them, and they’ve been singing the same tune since 2015.
When I lived in rural PA, it was about 80% trumpers. I was shocked at how many women there had been brainwashed by their alpha husbands, but the Evangelical cult is huge there. They preach trumpism and female subservience from the pulpits.
You should never underestimate the power of ignorance stupidity and hate, if history has taught us nothing else that should be the lesson. Everyone who voted for this corruption must be held accountable.
Just a theory here, but there's people who were raised under tougher conditions who think that nobody deserves anything and therefore anyone who asks for help or money is a big baby who can't support themselves. It is a terrible mindset. We should help each other.
I spent a substantial amount of my childhood in shelters and churches in Calgary and in hotels across Massachusetts.
I try my best to help others so they don't end up in the same spot.
I am absolutely 100% ASTOUNDED that this many people lack the most basic sense of empathy and perspective skills.
But they select the bits they want of course and discard the socialist bits and Jesus was a white nationalist dude … religion is at the heart of this for this movement … religion is the cult and Trump a temporary member because pat Robertson was unelectable
But you look at religion in other countries and it's not that big of a problem. Same deal with guns. American Republicans twisted those and glorified them. It's a perverted version of religion. It's used to attack people like in the dark ages.
It probably has a better name but I call this phenomena ‘generational hazing’. It seems especially prevalent with boomers but maybe that’s just a sample bias. They consider any form of inconvenience they survived a ‘rite of passage’ and wish it 100 times worse for on younger people.
They enjoy not only the power trip of administering or smugly watching young folks struggle, but also in their twisted minds it further reinforces their own sense of accomplishment that they ‘survived’ or overcame the same obstacles. They ignore or deny that those obstacles are so much bigger now.
Nah, I’ve seen that mindset mostly from people who never had to work for anything because they don’t know what it’s like to need help. They can’t fathom not having a financial or personal safety net.
Imagine if people were given the bare minimum for financial breathing room. Imagine if they had the means to shower and wear nice clothes before a job interview.
Mostly white women, to be fair, and I know this from being around them. I hate awful men, but there is a special place and all that. They are some of the most hateful women when I would be out with a friend of mine, and I was too blind to see it until she told me afterwards and I noticed it more.
It's not just women hating women. It's true in part, but let's face it: An awful lot of white women certainly do not enjoy seeing a Black woman succeed.
I had a tak with an acquaintance at the gym I go to. He said he voted for the orange one because and zi quote 'god doesn't want women ruling over men'. I was shocked. But, I asked if Biden had stayed in who he would have voted for. No hesitation 'Biden'. More shock.
I’m a straight white middle aged male. Im baffled that even though we are out numbered by everyone that’s not us, the worst of us still manage to convince the rest of the people to keep us in charge.
Sadly, they were programmed from a time when their minds were still very malleable by those who taught them how to treat their own gender like crap for aspiring for a life outside the kitchen and bedroom.
Growing up in High school, you see/hear a lot of it. The sad thing is that Mean Girl mentality doesn't stay there. The amount of psychological warfare you see in the workplace is staggering
I've always been of the opinion that it's not men holding women back (though obviously they do), it's other women! Who led the effort scupper an equal rights amendment for women? A woman. Who didn't show up, again, this week? Women.
I stumbled upon a chatroom once where a lady said, "Nothing female can ever be holy"
Like gurl ...you've been hatedoctrinated SO BADLY that you're blind to the feminism of your own Jesus; I replied that the holy spirit she reveres IS FEMALE in the original Aramaic; no idea if she ever saw.
It's SAD
I talked to 3 women who told me Kamala wasn't smart. When pressed they couldn't tell me anything she did or said that gave them that impression. So I concluded that Fox News and Trump told them that and they bought it. Meanwhile Trump couldn't put together complete sentences. I don't get it.
Oh I did! I've heard women rip on women for decades - I'm over 50 and people freak when I say that, like you're like maybe 40, but nope, been hearing women at jobs rip on women bosses - so when she was the nominee I knew we had a battle since she is a she & also AA & Indian descent. Such ignorance!
I knew and I see men defending stranger brothers on the internet and real life, no hesitation and don't matter if what they did was terrible, they just defend them, and I get jealous, if only women had 10% of that loyalty to their sisters...
Must have been nice to live in such a delusional world where you could afford not to pay attention to what was really going on around you, I can't even remember a time where I couldn't realize that reality.
The stuff that I read and hear from Americans about gender issues is wild to me. There are certainly issues here, too, but doesn't feel quite as intense.
A third of the people who answered a survey from Helsinki University voted against one of our last president candidates because he is gay, though
Just moved here from the other place, can't take it there anymore. Gonna be looking for people I follow there before being done with it for good. I can't believe this has happened, I am crushed 💔. I'll follow back anybody who follows me. THX
I didn't know how many humans are claiming to be men and women! It doesn't make any sense. Shouldn't we all be Akuiopy while we can? I live Akuiopy ten times a day, even on 25 hour days.
Parents of daughters soon learn how vicious teenage girls can be to each other At my worst I'm a pussycat compared to the 15 year old witches our daughter encountered at school How can so many women & people of colour vote for a misogynist rapist racist slimeball like Trump? Time to circle thewagons
I think the issue is so many “don’t care about politics”, so they vote based on chatter around them. They have no idea what they have just done.
The sad part is, you have to *care about other people* to take the time to be informed, and the lack of a majority of caring people is what is 💔.
the society the patriarchy has created typically pits women against each other. the act of loving each other is in defiance to that- because it is ultimately a way that the patriarchy maintains control.
That's the key to their powers. Put everyone else against each other because if everyone who isn't a man joined forces, then they wouldn't stay a chance.
Unfortunately, how many times have we seen an officer make demands that were obeyed and it resulted in death or torture? How many families followed the rules and were punished anyway? How many people did all the paperwork and jumped through all the hoops, only to be told it didn't count?
There are soldiers on the battlefield. Their whole unit is captured by the enemy. They're all told to dig a ditch and lay down in it. Their compliance only dug their own grave.
Start with this book if you like: “The escape artist”.
It’s about a Jewish man who actually managed to escape a Nazi death camp, warn others and make it to the states. There is also a movie. He speaks extensively about Jewish people just trusting what they are being told to do. It’s heartbreaking.
It is just so tragic, how it works fear sending into isolation and then reinforcing detrimental systems. How the obedience so demanded is actually for safety can be one of the ways through which harm keeps going around. Truly heartbreaking, undeniably sad-the women who lose under such condition.
We've all been raised in the same patriarchal system, so it's little wonder that many people, male and female alike, find it so difficult to deprogram what we've had baked into us since birth. IMHO it's Stockholm Syndrome.
They're gonna say it was because of her policies or whatever else they can come up with. But have a conversation with anyone of these asshats and it'll eventually devolve into women aren't fit to lead a country. Completely ignoring the fact that a habitual liar and criminal is more unfit to lead.
agreed, but is it that they actually hate other women, or are they just afraid of the fallout from their own husbands, the twats that voted this guy in! If these men want to control women, don't you think they start "at home", with their stepford wives? Domestic violence has a lot of avenues!
Internalized biases run deep in society, where behaviors and attitudes are unconsciously formed. It is not a question of one group against another in gender dynamics rather, this internalized bias configures our culture and expectations.
In many Republican states where abortion was on the ticket, women (and men) voted to protect it.
Only exception was crazy Florida, where Republicans had previously made it 60% to pass an amendment. It got 57% (more than any Republican ever got in an election)

This is so true like we're probably one of the few countries or even the only country that's never had a female president and yet we're apparently one or the most powerful countries in the world despite the fact that there are women are sexist towards themselves!!
My grandmother was one of the strongest, most independent, and most impressive woman you'd ever meet, and in 2016 she told me she didn't think a woman was capable of running the country. It was the most baffling thing I ever heard her say.
Self-hate, carefully taught, is one of the most pernicious non-violent things a human being can do to another human being. Someone taught her that women are not capable of X, and to ignore her life experience thus far.

Glad to help.
Is not that hard sweetie.
Again: glad to help. Dont forget to spread the word.
That and "how will you have time to do this when you've got kids?" 😐
I had better opinions of Florida until that
Perhaps Calif. and Wash state, too.

Unless you're rich, then you're on the chopping block.
They can stay over in the Temu kitchen sink with that creepy little man.
My days being Cassandra are done.
I try my best to help others so they don't end up in the same spot.

I just... It saddens me greatly.
But this poverty is by design.

It is a predictable but heartbreaking phenomenon.
A lot of men hate men, too, but the difference is that we are encouraged to externalize that into competition.
How can you be human with no humanity?
It will backfire.

Which is funny because I know a lot more men than women.
Started collecting some sweet girls at my college tho, makes me hopeful for my generation. 💞
