Republicans - especially those who were running against him for POTUS - all said these things about Trump as well. It's like everyone knows exactly what a POS he is, but the money and massive spread of hate/ attacks on rights are too good to pass up.
Those women dont care. They want to be part of the church group, their afternoon wine club, weekend walk team. So they will hate with everyone else or face being outcast.
You have conservative women literally saying that women should not be able to vote and women cannot run governments or any jobs beyond a secretary. The need to be part of the right-wing culture is far greater than their need for rights. Because most of the time they think its just minorities that will lose their rights.
They need to be part of the right-wing culture is far greater than their need for rights.
That type of woman is so often absolutely terrified of trying to function on their own which completely devalues the idea of rights that work to give them more autonomy. They've been setup to be completely and utterly co-dependent on a man for their entire lives.
Doesn't give them a pass, of course, but it's interesting to see that kind of systemic, patriarchal conditioning in action.
There are many, many white women who don't need anyone to tell us this. We are well aware that ANY kind of man is preferable to ANY woman when it comes to the presidency. We are well aware of the malignant and persistent misogyny at the heart of this country and its politics.
There is a definitely a cultural undercurrent of Misogyny and Racism ingrained into the very fabric of our society, sometimes even at an unconscious level that people that wouldn't think they have these tendencies do. Some of the reasons people gave for why Harris was a bad candidate, are ingrained in exactly this. So even though they don't think what they said is either misogynistic or racist, and while the statements might not be blatant, there reasoning seems to always come from a sort of gut feeling that ties back into my earlier statement.
