That’s the crazy thing. A transgender adult has a unique window into misogyny that cis-women do not. You have to wonder about that too: transgender women are talking on less pay (including athletes), fewer equal rights, and yet they must do it because to not do so is worse. That’s something worth considering.

So, if a white man decides to tan his skin and surgically alter himself to look like a black man, then we should believe his claim that he’s black in his soul because he’s trading his white privilege for less? If he decides to colonize a black woman’s identity, then he should be doubly admired and trusted because he’s trading his white and male privilege, right?

Such is the half-baked foolishness that passes as sense among trans activists. We should be flattered and admire men colonizing women’s identities because women are so low that no man would want to be one except his mind is sincerely warped.

The misogyny of these people is incredible to watch. The PP appears to think that biological women should be happy to cede their spaces and rights to transwomen, because otherwise men won’t take them seriously, and if a man deigns to (try to) become a woman, we should be blessed by his presence. After all, he is superior in understanding to us lowly womenfolk.

Trans is all about $$$.

Have the medical industry push a couple of surgeries, and a lifetime of medication and psychological counseling and you're well at over a million per patient. That's provided they don't change their mind and want to change back.

Push that on to one or two students per U.S. school district and you're at billions in tax payer subsidized lucrative $$$.

Always follow the money.

Correct. The funny part is that women resent these weak men, especially after they get married. Republican women are married to men who, on average, better satisfy the wife's evolutionary need for strength and leadership. Women who don't have that stability get mad but will never understand because they won't look in the mirror.

Strength and leadership does not mean being so insecure that you have shove women back 50 years because you feel threatened. That is quite weak.

Women have always run the show. Marilyn Monroe was famously quoted “Women who compete with men lack ambition.”

I totally agree.

That’s why all of the world leaders are women. We’ve got it made, ladies!

I don't think many of these people like Trump. Sadly, a lot may feel obligated to vote for their party's nominee, even if he stinks to high heaven.

I know a few Republicans who did not vote for Trump in 2020. They voted for Biden, or stayed home. But that doesn't mean they've stopped identifying themselves as Republicans. On the contrary. They get offended at the idea they have to surrender their party to MAGA. They are proud to be REAL Republicans, instead of weird, gormless maggots.

What a crock. One of the women sexually assaulted by trump has been racked over the coals by maga. She stood her ground and forced consequences on him but his female supporters have been so shitty to her.

NP. Some women are content with that Marilyn Monroe behind the scenes power stuff and others aren’t. We don’t need to satisfy ourselves with some “neck that turns the head” bullsh-t and spend our lives manipulating men just because we’re women. Some of us want to be out front and center leading openly and we have the right to want and achieve that.

I'm not sure where you're getting admiration from my post, but I'm not going to engage further with you because it's impossible to have a conversation with someone who is outraged.

I’m not the PP but your post absolutely seems like you think we should elevate the men who deign to identify as women simply because they are making that choice. So, we as women are supposed to be grateful because a man wants to take lesser pay as a woman athlete? There is a distinct sense in your post that we should be grateful to those elevated males who choose to slum with us females, and we should be so lucky to have them.

No thank you.

When a thread is started for the sole reason of picking the usual fights, what do you expect? These "Help me understand Republicans..." threads are transparent and stupid.

Sounds logical to me. Where is the outrage?

Project 2025 is alive and well. "Men as head of household" tell us all that Republican women are beyond stupid. If Trump wins I hope to hell they get every thing they asked for no divorce rights, no interstate travel, loss of voting rights, bank accounts gone, ownership of property etc yes this is where we are heading and don't say it's not true because Mike Flynn and the Herritage Foundation are spewing this like crazy and dam they will be in charge!

Did you got all that from Stele dossier? If what you are saying is true, why women have not lost their voting rights from 2016-2020? And why we were able to keep our bank accounts back then? And, or Jesus, filed for divorces? And, only imagine that, was actually divorced back then. We kept all our properties. But keep fearmongering.

It's odd that none of this discussion has centered on why married women may have voting preferences that align with male voting patterns, except the bizarre and misogynistic conclusion that women are brainless and will do as their husbands instruct.

Married women tend to have more in common with men because marriage causes them to be a unit and their interests are united. A married woman has no interest in males being discriminated against, etc.

It is interesting. I think it's because many married women have children, and so they're more plugged into community issues - public safety, schools, cost of groceries etc. And Democrats tend to be on the wrong side of everyday quality of life issues - particularly schools and crime.

This.

When I was single, I didn’t care nearly enough about schools, inflation, cost of living, immigration, or any other political issue for them to affect my voting. I didn’t even understand what school choice was, beyond knowing it was bad primarily because that’s what everyone in my Crown Heights circle thought and I didn’t care enough to look too hard into it. Naturally, I voted D.

Then I had an autistic child in a terrible school district with classrooms overcrowded due to a mass influx of undocumented immigrants, where every kid with any disability that needed accommodation was herded into one classroom and basically babysat. Popular wisdom in my area was that “privileged” parents like me should make do with public schools cuz like privates are bad and leaving meant I was racist. While I was trying to figure out what to do, the pandemic hit, and schools shut down, leaving me to educate a multiply disabled child basically by myself (good luck virtually educating kids like mine) and Dems kept schools closed long after the harms were documented. I got outta NY so fast to a southern state were life was still allowed to go on and where I had my pick of schools regardless of where I lived. Suddenly, school choice made sense. Educational policy and immigration became very real issues to me, and I could have slapped all my former Brooklynite friends who thought keeping schools closed indefinitely was totally fine.

Inflation hit us very hard because we needed every dollar for my son’s therapies and then later for serious health problems I developed. All the monied Democrats I knew telling me that inflation is a non-issue made me want to kill someone.

Life comes at you fast when you have children, a mortgage, and a whole life beyond pie in the sky foolishness to consider. I’m done with Democrats. Never ever thought I’d say that 10 years ago as a single woman.

Your story will to be too complex and nuanced for the Democrats on this thread who desperately believe Hilary Clinton has magical powers, but thank you for sharing.

You are both nuts. You GOP nutters are the ones obsessed with Hillary Clinton all these years later. And you think the GOP will help with schools? Are you high? Have you paid no attention to what THEY have been doing to public education in this country for the past several decades. And they TALK about immigration all the time, but they never actually do anything? Nope. Why would they? It's just a tool they use to whip you people into a froth and get you to vote GOP. Fear-mongering and empty promises.

Answer after answer from GOP women = we hate immigrants and we are still traumatized by the pandemic to the point that we can't even remember what actually happened. [b]Do you wake in the night screaming "shutdowns!!!" It's 2024. There is no pandemic now. No one is threatening shut downs. Good Lord, you people need therapy and cult deprogramming.[/b]

Insinuating you, as supporters of the GOP, understand nuance is...hysterical.

Many of us and our kids are still dealing with the educational impact of shutdowns, you low IQed, mouth breathing lower life form! Our problems are just so trivial and hilarious, aren’t they? You need to go play in traffic.

Dp- man I read these posts and I think, “ I guess I’ll just take my next huge tax cut and let the aholes struggle. You don’t want to help yourself, we can’t help you. Carry on!”

DP...which tax cut are you referring to? I'm a small business owner and Trump's "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" increased my effective tax rate. So for the last six years I've been subsidizing the big corporations that actually got their taxes lowered. So "I'll just take my next huge tax cut and let the aholes struggle" is what the uber-wealthy are saying about people like me as they pull the lever for Trump.

Yes. This is exactly what I’m saying. My taxes ( I’m very wealthy now thanks to Trump) went down. They will go down again if he is re elected. I will get richer with Trump in office.
Small business owners like yourself aren’t part of the club. Neither are the 9-5 working joes.
But I can’t care about the average American more than they do. If posters wanna whine about how bad the pandemic was for them, well I can’t help them. Republican ladies wanna chance a pregnancy in an anti choice state? Got for it! They will probably be fine…. Unless they aren’t. 10-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage ( and that’s not including early unidentified miscarriages). Roll the dice!
You mad about immigration? Well go on and vote for the party that screams about the border emergency 24:7 BUT never passes legislation to adddress it. Like ever.
Sounds like ( uncontrolled immigration) is really negatively impacting your schools and neighborhoods. I wouldn’t know about that, because my child doesn’t go to public school and my city has zoning that doesn’t allow for dense housing. I would say that republicans will give you money for your child to choose an excellent private school, but let’s be real… even if they handed parents 20k to make a elite school attainable, the top independent schools will just raise their tuition 25k.
Sadly fascism will hurt us all, but I’m betting I still do better than most. Shrug.
Vote accordingly.

It’s nice of you to confirm how Democrats really feel about working class and middle class people.

I mean we all know the truth, but I do appreciate you just coming out and saying it.

No Sweetie. Just MAGAts. Ya’ll are dumb.

Reading this entire thread is all that every woman needs to know before the election. It so clearly indicates that Democrats think every woman who think for themselves or for their child is dumb. Can we count how many times we were called dumb on this thread. It a huge progress from the deplorable.

I think the PP you responded to might have read the Koran and learned about how Islam governs women.
