America would rather be led by someone who boasts of assaulting women, than a woman

And some people think we don't need feminism any more.

Its like that Victoria Wood sketch. She wants to play in a Northern working mens band which is threatened with closure. She reels off a litany of amazing things she has done to save the band. Then turns and says hopefully "well, is that enough? Can I join". Pause. Answer from all the men "noooo" in broad Yorkshire accents.

'They fucking hate us don't they? '

Yep, they sure do. And the 'they' involves plenty of women. 40% of female voters apparently. For the love of sanity. Misogyny is alive and well and rampaging around and shouted from the rooftops by people who positively revel in their own ignorance.

Maybe shove off now user, people who have functioning brains are actually upset about this. This situation hasn't been funny for a very long time

Am I surprised a that so many women voted for him? Not really. There are an awful lot of handmaidens out there Sad

RiverTam · 09/11/2016 12:35

Only if the white candidate had proved over and over again that they hated black people, as Trump has done, for years, with regard to women.

Glad you think it's funny, user.

What if Obama never got president? Would black people be going online saying "white people hate us"?

Perhaps it has nothing to do with gender and all to do with the fact voters simply thought Trump was a better choice. Hilary certainly had her flaws.

user1478684818 · 09/11/2016 12:29

this thread is funny

Lorelei76 · 09/11/2016 11:57

well, clearly you all make no sense because you've got blood coming out of your whatever!!!

(A reference to comments actually made by Trump at a conference, for those unaware).

his attitude to women is clear even when you remove the accusations. Just the shit that's come out of his mouth makes that clear.

I get that if you are desperate for change, you can ignore a lot of things, but to ignore that kind of thing...just, wow. The man wasn't allowed to run his own fucking Twitter account in the end.

I hope the women who voted for him (I think it was significantly less than the men who voted for him) will soon realize how stupid they have been when he starts to take away their rights.

There's a kind of person who votes out of protest but doesn't really expect bad things to happen. (After Brexit, apparently, a number of people where shocked that, whoops, their vote actually was a vote not a thumbs down button on youtube)

Voting massively split by age group as well, as with Brexit.

ageingrunner · 09/11/2016 11:15

40% of white women voted for trump

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 09/11/2016 11:14

What about all the women that voted for him though Vestal? There's a million metric fucktons of cognitive dissonance to wade through before a feminist revolution can get off the blocks Sad

VestalVirgin · 09/11/2016 11:12

Perhaps, now that the women of America know exactly how much men hate them, there will be a feminist revolution.

That's the only way to see this in a positive light.

I keep coming back to that this year Enid
They fucking hate us don't they? I feel so sad.

Sad, sad times. Misogyny is alive and well, and will be moving into the White house.

Gah.

ageingrunner · 09/11/2016 10:34

Tbh I fear that we're fucked. We meaning women, the environment, humanity, and all life on earth except maybe cockroaches.

ageingrunner · 09/11/2016 10:33

John Leslie didn't get quite the same public endorsement that trump has now got, user did he?

YetAnotherSpartacus · 09/11/2016 10:01

I am horrified. That's all.

user1478684818 · 09/11/2016 09:50

"See they are all going to crawl out from under their KKK hoods"

The KKK don't wear hoods anymore, keep up with the times.

user1478684818 · 09/11/2016 09:48

"As someone on another thread said it's proof that a rape accusation doesn't harm a man career…"

John Leslie might disagree.

"I predict in the USA that sexual assaults will increase and convictions go down.
Homophobic and racist attacks will increase.
Shootings of in particular young black men will increase etc"

And the sky will fall down and Cthulu will rise!

ChaChaChaCh4nges · 09/11/2016 09:29

Trump is also a climate change denier. No more US money to UN climate change programmes, and goodbye to the Paris emissions reduction agreement. Sad

PreemptiveSalvageEngineer · 09/11/2016 09:16

The next four years are going to be horrific.

The repercussions of this will go on for decades, if not centuries. Don't forget the Supreme Court nomination - abortion will be illegal by this transmission next year, mark my words.

But that's a specific thing. What makes me most despondent is that Hate and Fear win out over Love and Tolerance. Again.

It looks and feels like a comic strip dystopia.
