Trump Finally Pissed Off the Wrong Women. All of Them.
Female voters don’t give a fuck if men like Trump approve of them—and their votes count just as much as a man’s.

The post-debate explosion of nasty proves that that Trump still doesn’t understand that this election isn’t a golf outing with a group of guffawing yes-men, and that women are finally facing the full extent of their electoral power.

Voting is one of the few arenas where the approval of men like Donald Trump doesn’t matter a lick. A voting machine cannot tell the gender of the voter and count it for only 77 percent as much as the vote of a man. A voting machine can’t pass over a female vote in favor of a younger male vote that reminds it of itself at that age. A voting machine can’t throw out the vote of a woman if she refuses its sexual advances. It won’t tell a female voter that she’s a New York City 6 but a Chicago 8. A voting machine doesn’t grope.

Women make up over 50 percent of the voting population in the U.S., and on November 8, any of them can imagine canceling out the vote of any man they’d like as they fill out their ballots. Donald Trump can’t insult them into submission.

Nor can Trump insult Hillary Clinton into submission. The world has coddled Donald Trump into believing that women who have somehow failed to meet his antiquated standards of femininity should feel chastened. Men like Trump expect women to feel like failures when a man calls them anything less than pretty, sexy, pleasant, nice. But the world outside of Trump Tower has been moving at a much faster pace than the creaky machinery between Trump’s ears. In the voting booth, compliance is optional. Deference to the whims of men is unnecessary, if not undesirable.

Women voting for Hillary Clinton don’t fucking care if you like it. They don’t care if men like Trump think they’re such nasty women. In the booth, removed from what shards of sexism remain in the modern world, women are allowed to be indifferent to Trump’s standards as they please.

On November 8, there’s nothing men like Donald Trump can do about the fact that women don’t care what men think nearly as much as men think they should. To women who are just realizing this, the feeling must be intoxicating. To men like Trump, it must be terrifying.

1. Tell it, Sister!

24. I just can't believe that, after all the misogyny shit, it took trashing a white woman to combust!

This is not a Black and White thing, as I am white.

Everyone I speak to, including whites--and I mean everyone, says the same thing.


It took trashing a white woman to bring this issue to a head! It's painfully obvious.

20. I agree, but I had already forgotten how he asked it!

I changed it from "Who sez?" to the more accurate "Sez who?!"

3. To the greatest page!

4. Yes, a million times yes!!!

It's kind of funny that they ran the most openly misogynistic candidate they could have this election. I think many of the other candidates are just as harmful to women as far as legislation goes, but Trump is reminding women of all the million little things that happen in a non-political setting - the uninvited groping, rating women on looks, aging them out in the workplace, body shaming, the list goes on and on and on.

5. I hope women vote in droves and determine the outcome of this eection.

We are WOMAN!

[smirkymonkey]

8. Hear, hear!

[ffr]

9. FIRED UP!!!

Not only ready to go, I'm going. No rest in helping out HFA and democratic causes. It's time out from my personal life, but worth it.

Encourage Dems to get out and vote. Ask around, if you're not sure about someone voting this election or not.

Take no vote for granted. GOTV!!! This is it!

19. Women in this country will put this asshole down in a way he has never experienced.

This humiliation will destroy Trump as well as his businesses ..

He doesn't know what is coming because it already has arrived. He cannot change the name, because everyone already knows who is behind the curtain. The bully will get his, and I must admit, I will enjoy watching him loose his financial shirt. When you loose by 10 to 15 million votes, there really isn't much to say.....except......................good by bully................

23. Well done, Sister Suffragists! GOTV!
