If it were up to Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon, women would not be allowed to vote. Why do female trump supporters defend these guys?
Hey its Michael Moore
Sunday on MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” liberal filmmaker Michael Moore said that women who voted for President Donald Trump are “victims” of “misogyny and the sexism that is still so prevalent and ingrained.”

Moore said, “I did run into Trump voters. and I asked them, especially — I remember one woman. I said — she was telling me that she voted for Trump. I said ‘Really? in spite of his attitudes toward women and the things that he said?’ And she said, ‘Well, you know, women, a lot of us, we’ve just had to learn to take it over the years. You know, that’s how my dad talked and that’s how my brothers talk.’ And I thought, oh, geez, you know, it was such a reminder of still how far we have to go. I was at this one thing, John Leguizamo, a great actor and comedian Hispanic, he says ‘I’m Hispanic and I always thought racism was our number one problem that we have to deal with, but this election really showed that we’ve ignored the misogyny and the sexism that is still so prevalent and ingrained.’ And Ingrained in many of the victims, the 46% of women that voted for Trump and the 53% of white women that voted for Trump. And that’s — well, that just says that we’ve got more work to do and we’ll keep doing it.”
I am super glad you feel that way. I fully support your right to make a choice on how you live and will continue to fight for your rights as well as mine.
BUT, just because you like being treated differently based on your gender does not mean that those of who do NOT like being treated, paid, whatever differently based on ours need to speak in a soft voice or get labeled classless and tacky.
And, you don't have to be "oppressed" to speak out for others.
This notion that if it doesn't happen to you it's not valid is super obnoxious.
Plenty of people have not been homeless, or beaten, or victims of crime or violence, or in abusive relationships, or passed over, or not taken on their merits - but they can still recognize that other people are.
It's a vein of superiority that runs through these posts. "I'm way to special to relate, nor even empathize, and not only that - I'll snidely put down anyone else that does".

Pfffft.
They dont care. 1000% individualistic and selfish and anyone who cares is labeled as "leftist loon"
No and it does not represent the majority of women. My wife is a professional and she says this march does not represent her or any of her colleagues. She considers it an embarrassment to most women. She was informed by another friend who happened to be in DC at the time of the march that she was embarrassed by the nastiness and vulgarity that she witnessed by some women.
No woman who marched intended to represent anyone or anything more than herself or her own feelings.
