Tennis icon Billie Jean King is not mincing words about the many white women who voted for Donald Trump, saying they “really don’t like themselves.”
King, who led the fight for equal pay for women in tennis, also says she feels there is more misogyny now than when she defeated Bobby Riggs in the famous “Battle of the Sexes” match in 1973, the subject of the new movie starring Emma Stone and Steve Carell.
“I think there’s a lot of misogyny – I think it’s higher now than it was,” King said in an interview Tuesday evening at a Manhattan awards ceremony. She was being honored by the Wendy Hilliard Gymnastics Foundation, which provides gymnastics programs to underserved communities.
“I’m really upset with women, actually,” King said. “I’m upset with the white women that voted for Mr. Trump. I think they really don’t like themselves … I think a lot of women don’t like themselves.” She added: “Girls are brought up to be perfect and boys are brought up to be brave. Well, a girl can never be perfect. So we never can win.”
first Michelle Obama and now Billie Jean King. Liberal women don't seem to like it when women make choices for themselves that are different than what they want.

Only liberal, progressive Democrat women are accepted by the media, and celebrities. If you are an independent thinker, and disagree with anything they think, or say, you are OUT. The progressives demand lock step agreement to all their ideas.
