Suggesting Clinton is meant to speak for all women is offensive to the entire female gender.

Voting for Trump while being a women is offensive to the entire gender. Grab them by the pussy? Remember? Do you wanna play the both sides?

 

[Painguy]

what are you on?

I think I may have misinterpreted the OP. Ignore me lol.

Although Id appreciate if you didnt quote me with such hostikity.

 

[mjp2417]

did she feel the same way when they voted for her husband over Hillary?

Why would she?

Even before you get to his policies, there is the utter contempt he shows to the gender

 

[TheContact]

I’ll still don’t understand why women voted for him. He treats women like objects. He’s probably pissed that Saudi Arabia let women drive because he wishes women had no rights here

 

[jtb]

she's completely right. And as if you needed more evidence that Michelle has no interest in a political career, this is not the type of difficult truth that would-be politicians are throwing around

did she feel the same way when they voted for her husband over Hillary?

why.... what....

 

[devilhawk]

If you were a racist white woman I can see why you would vote for Trump, but other than that I don't see any upside as to why you would vote for him.

I'm amazed at how many people, especially on this forum, forget or have failed to realize the amount of women that are single issue voters on the abortion issue, and in this case, pro-life. It is not a negligible amount. Polling shows near 40% of women think abortion should be illegal in most all cases. Men and women have shown they will go to staggering lengths to vote on this issue.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

No lies detected. Trump made alot of things clear, like it's okay to grab women. Seriously the level of self respect you don't have to vote for this guy.

 

[Shauni]

did she feel the same way when they voted for her husband over Hillary?

We're about to stop the teasing and go full on 'both sides are the same,' huh?

 

[Volimar]

Hes not part of the democratic party?

Im a bit clueless so if Im saying something pleade let me know. I. May have misinterpreted the OP.

The topic is about the two choices in the general election, not challengers who didn't win their primaries.

 

[GrantDaNasty]

Boy, some of you will take literally anything to spew both sides stuff

I voted for Clinton and I'd do it again if there was no alternative, I'd do it 1000 times if need be, things could be better is all I'm saying.

 

[theWB27]

did she feel the same way when they voted for her husband over Hillary?

I'm dumbfounded.

Yeh just rralized that. My mistake. Thanks for the clarification though Michelle is right.

 

[Ponn]

I still see the occasional interview with a woman who voted for Trump,saying some variation of "maybe i wanna be grabbed by the pussy"

 

[WaterAstro]

This applies to every non-nazi.

 

[MightyKAC]

This line of thinking removes the agency of the individual for women. I don't agree with that.

Suggesting Clinton is meant to speak for all women is offensive to the entire female gender.

Would it have been better if she said "Women who voted for Trump voted against their own voice"?

 

[SaviorX]

Suggesting Clinton is meant to speak for all women is offensive to the entire female gender.

By voting against her, she never had the chance to 'speak' at all.

 

[D4Danger]

Why would she?

I might have misread it slightly. I thought she was implying only Hillary could bring something to the table on these issues but it's more to do with Trump being a total monster. That's my bad.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

No lies detected

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

eh not really, women's voices can be just as distorted by hate or be submissive by upbringing.

every women that voted for trump voted for a misogynist in addition to all the despicable things trump is in addition.

 

[Shauni]

I voted for Clinton and I'd do it again if there was no alternative, I'd do it 1000 times if need be, things could be better is all I'm saying.

Even though I was of this mind back in the lead-up to the election, and I DID vote for Hillary Clinton, I'm not sure I like this attitude.

Clinton was the better of 2 options, and just because she was the primary candidate for the "leftist" (though let's be fair, Democrats are centre-right and they would rather fuck their ancestors bones than actually represent left-wing political ideals), people keep saying "you didn't vote for Clinton, this is your fault".

Again, she did win the popular vote, and I have no doubt she would do a better job than Trump, but people don't want to begrudgingly follow someone because they "sorta get where I'm coming from", I can't blame them. The only lesson I hope that is learned here is that Democrats will at least TRY to appeal to the leftist crowd rather than do this "same old, same old" shtick.

Man, if the me from 8 months ago saw me posting this, I'd be dumbfounded, but it's the reality of things - People wanted more from a broken political system, and it will not fix itself if people just sit on the sidelines and play along in fairness.

Yeah, that's just all you're saying

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Internalized sexism is a hell of a drug. Some women believe, on a very deep subconscious level, that it's wrong for a woman to reach higher and demand more, to be as assertive and demanding as their male counterparts.

What is this mansplaining nonsense?

 

[Pyroclastic]

I really do wish clinton had either won (obv) or lost to a less objectionable opponent so we could give this nauseating stuff about how she's "the voice for all women" and the complete and utter laying down of the dem establishment because it was her turn the mirth it deserves. It only has even a semblance of truth because of the other guy. But there are more pressing matters for me, day to day.

I mean, maybe some women actually like that prick for a start, who are you to tell them they're denying their voice, lol. sad to say but that false consciousness stuff is never going to work.

Clinton let Sanders basically rewrite the platform to incorporate his plans. Do you not consider that "trying to appeal to the leftist crowd"?

 

[MrSaturn99]

She ain't wrong.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Is she referring to just the general election or the primaries as well?

 

[Red]

According to some women I’ve overheard at work, Hillary was too much of a bitch. What can you do?

Yep. Heard that a lot. Still do.

For fuck's sake why is the American view of politics so black and white?

People are capable of independent thought and don't have to wholly side with one of two candidates. Disagree with my post all you like, but don't for one second assume I support the orange tyrant.

 

[Linkura]

Feel free to blame the 53%, it was laughable to see the Pink Pussy protests afterwards.

Like Chappelle said, "You was in on the heist, you just don't like your cut."

47% of us did NOT vote for the Orange Turd.

Yeah but they still siding with a racist, misogynist, liar, etc.

Is that something to be proud of?

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Why would the primaries matter? She won handily. It's obvious she's referring to the general.

Because in the US there are two relevant parties with two options in a general election.

Yeah, I forgot how much abortion mentally tricks women into fighting against their rights.

Because the choice was between the 2. Act moderate as much as you want but not voting/voting for trump fucked us all. This mentality of both sides led to the inestability we have now, but "muh voting hillary is an offense to the gender" for fucks sake, that's why we have the orange turd!

This was the easiest choice between presidential candidates in modern history. Any vote not for Clinton was a vote for Trump, because that's the system we have.

Yes

I really think you must have misunderstood my post. Trump is an awful misogynist amongst other things - when did I ever imply otherwise.

Because the choice was between the 2. Act moderate as much as you want but not voting/voting for trump fucked us all. This mentality of both sides led to the inestability we have now, but "muh voting hillary is an offense to the gender" for fucks sake, that's why we have the orange turd!

Not moderate in the slightest - in my eyes there is no voice for the true left in American politics. Clinton is too right wing for me.

 

[JordanN]

You can't discount that some or even a lot of these women are perhaps religious/christian. That's probably why they didn't care when Trump said all those nasty things, because they were only interested in having a "follower of christ/pro-life candidate" in the oval office, and not someone who just happened to have the same gender as them.

And yes, I realize the extreme irony that "devout Christ follower" yet "makes extremely violent/derogatory anti-women comments" is in the same sentence. But again, if they're die-hard religious, that's how far they're willing to go no matter the hypocrisy.

You're not wrong, but the mental gymnastics at work to reconcile those two contradictions boggles my mind.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Maybe. But that's not the fight to have when a white supremacist is on the ballot.

 

[Vegetable Lasagna]

fixed.
