Mansplaining to American women everywhere: not cool.
Why is it many women vote for men instead of females. We need more women in office. They understand the healthcare we need upon other things.

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.


I wish Michelle had a desire to run for office. Nothing would be more satisfying than watching Trump get one-termed by another Obama, and I do think she's one of the safest bets we have in keeping him from a 2nd term.

what is up with Democrats recent sexism of thinking that women can't decide what they want for themselves? That all women seem to have the same wants and desires?
Honestly, I'm tired of men deciding our rights. What is up with us women who allow men to do this. Don't we have minds of our own

Candidate's body parts are not on the list of things I consider when voting.

Because women are not stupid puppets you can control. We have our own brains, our own opinions, our own will. We will vote for the person we think would do the best job. Or at least I did.
Unfortunately Hillary wasn't it for me. Neither was Trump. I wish a strong smart Republican woman would run for president. But if not, I'm not just gonna vote for a female because she is a female. Would you?

She and Hillary were both Dems, lawyers and First Ladies. Those qualifications won't get a woman elected.

I vote for who is best for the job. Not because of what is between their legs on on their chests. Hillary when she announced was automatically an absolute when h*ll freezes over for me.
Do I wish we had other choices than Johnson, Stein, Trump and Hillary....sure do but that is who we had.

Hey guys! You all better vote for me because I have a penis! WTF.

I would never elect any president that somehow presented themselves as being the champion of any gender or specific race etc.

The political race and gender wars are getting old and it's not just Trump that's been doing it.

Both sides are extremely divisive on these topics.

Thanks for the advice and put down Michelle but I vote for the best candidate not by gender.
It is my understanding that the (IMO, apropos) Hildebeast moniker was coined by Michelle and Valerie Jarrett.
