Is this an endorsement of misogyny or a reaction to feminism on some level?

Trolls: women do not refer to themselves as "females." Please try harder.

It absolutely is. When you look at the list of countries that have elected a female leader, it's incredibly interesting.

The USA is one of the most misogynistic countries on the planet. We have to stop kidding ourselves.

I also don’t agree with electing someone into office that I didn’t vote for in a primary. That is so wrong on so many levels and shouldn’t be tolerated from either side. I’m glad we didn’t allow that in the end, if I’m being honest.

This was going to be a case of “history repeating itself” either way: they have both had ample opportunity do good in office, and they have both failed. But we had a choice to make between two idiots. With “history” in the back of my mind, the age old question of “are we better off today than we were four years ago” played a role in my decision making, and, well, no. I’m sorry, but no, we aren’t better.

I don’t like either, but I know what to expect from both. If history is going to repeat itself, then so be it.

It is disingenous to say you didn't want a "blathering idiot" or that you would have preferred Whitmer and then to be okay with Trump becoming president. Trump is a blathering idiot and Whitmer wasn't on the ballot. You had two choices. You either voted for Trump (wholly unqualified for the job due to his performance the first time and behavior since, plus older than Biden was when Biden took office) or you didn't vote for anyone thus enabling Trump to win.

If you voted for no one I just think you are derelict in your duty as a citizen. If you voted for Trump I think misogyny HAD to play a role because even if you think Harris is unqualified there is no way she is less qualifed than Trump. Objectively. He is a bad person. He's corrupt. He failed to protect the country on J6. And he's too old.

I don’t like blathering idiots from either gender, but when it comes to the first female president, I don’t want her to be a blathering idiot like the men. I want her to be better. So I chose the idiot man we can expect instead of the idiot woman, just because, when I know we can do better. And I hope we learn a lesson and do better in four years.

I don’t understand how this is so hard to understand. We’ve come to expect idiot male presidents. Let’s not expect the same from women, in the name of “women”. Let’s do better than the men! Let’s EXPECT the women to not be idiots like the men. So yeah, for me, it was feminism. Probably not the feminism you’re familiar with, but strong, competent females.

Stop setting the bar impossibly high for women - it's yet another unrealistic standard.

You'd rather elect a criminal than an imperfect woman? That right there is misogyny. I'm so friggin tired of people setting the bar for female candidates so high. This perfect female candidate doesn't exist! It's not possible! Women are going to have gaffes, blunders, mistakes, flaws, and pasts just like the men. Just elect one already, instead of utterly inept men.

It's also completely illogical. She elected a completely incompetent man because the female candidate wasn't absolutely perfect. I have no words.

Really?

I must be really oblivious because I don’t remember seeing American women stoned for not wearing hijab or attacked with acid because of infidelity. I wasn’t circumcised as a young girl and neither were my daughters. We have the options of marrying who and when we choose, if we choose to at all. We can pursue any educational or career path we want. I’ve even ridden the metro for years without any expectation of being groped.

I don’t know what planet you live on, but on my world it seems that women in other countries have much bigger problems with misogyny than losing the most competitive election in the nation.

[Anonymous]

Can someone explain this to me? Why did some women in some of the southern states vote in favour of some of the abortion amendment but then voted against Harris. One hand they want to keep their right to abortion, but they don't see the need to vote for a woman as President.

My parents are from Liberia and my dad told me they once elected a woman as President and she actually finished her terms. I was surprised because Africans are the last people I would ever imagine voting for a woman.

Prima but are not good enough to be President

My parents are Trumpers. They also don’t believe in women working outside the home, feminism, abortion, being overweight, being outspoken, having opinions.

So in a way, yes.

Sweetheart it's not either or. Look at this long list. America is far, far behind when it comes to many matters of women's rights and respects, among other things. You can follow MAGA and deduce a woman's position to solely popping out kids and supporting her DH, but there is no greatness for women in those limitations.

There are a lot of women that hate other women--especially successful women. Misogyny is not just a men's problem.

Those liberal abortion right activists shouldn't have wasted their time help those southern mostly White women with this.

I saw so many interviews where people said they couldn’t vote for Harris “because of her laugh” or “I don’t think she’s ready to be president.” That second one is complete BS when you compare her experience to what Trump had in 2016 or what Vance has now.

Many females cannot stand that horrid laugh. Nice try.

That's misogyny, right there.

My sister went full on MAGA when she moved to Florida. I am sure she is among those whom voted for that abortion amendment there but against Harris. Her Facebook is full of pro abortion materials and at the same time full of racist anti Kamala materials. I don't understand it. The amendment failed in Florida but I believe in other states other type of amendment that offered some kind of right to abortion successed
