Can Kamala protect women?

Seems to be a lot of support for her from female friends but then what about her support for men in women's prisons...

How influenced is she by the current Biden administration? Will she be listening to Rachel Levine? What will she actually do for women if she can't define what a woman is?

It’s a binary choice between her and Trump. There is no world in which she could possibly be worse for women than another Trump presidency. Trump is on camera saying that he thinks women who have abortions need to be punished, there’s some truly terrifying stuff for women in the project 2025 plans. JD Vance believes the natural role of the post-menopausal woman is as a carer for grandchildren. They are weird, creepy little misogynists who have no business being anywhere near the levers of power.

That’s leaving aside Trump’s links to Epstein and the fact that he was found liable in court for sexual assault.

I don’t believe anyone could look at Trump and Vance and then decide that Kamala Harris is the riskier choice for women.

Clinton and Epstein as well.

He had contact all over the place, it seems. Most parties likely better off just not mentioning him at all.

I don’t agree that Trump is significantly worse for women or vice versa. They are both bad for women in different ways.

Kamala Harris and Tim waltz have supported all sorts of horrendous misogyny, from destroying the sports and funding of girls sports to promoting child gender harm to putting violent men in women’s prisons. They have no feminist cred at all.

But beyond the binary choice - her alone, her administration, what can she do for women if she cannot define what a woman is?

She put men in women's prisons. She hates us.

This. She is infinitely better than the alternative.

Not sure she knows what a woman is. We're between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Morwenscapacioussleeves · 24/08/2024 11:45

Does she even want to?

ResisterOfTwaddleRex · 24/08/2024 11:44

No. Is the answer.
