This. I'm flattered when a male co-worked tells me I my hair looks nice or my outfit is nice. Those who think that's negative is any way really do need to get a life.



Most of us normal women feel the same way.


Nobody gets upset about that kind of stuff. Stop this.

That's not what Harvey Weinstein did.


and he's a democrat with powerful democrat friends.

They are young and dumb and will correct course as they gain knowledge


Name calling other woman worked so well, you all just get it.

Why is it that when this demographic votes the way you want them to they are not young and dumb?

I find it inappropriate.


OMG - I say the same thing to my male coworkers - even guys in elevators...you look sharp today, love that shirt, etc.

Thinking something as benign as that to be inappropriate is what is called "radical feminism" which is a joke. If that is the DNC base then the red wave will continue because that's nuts.


I find it inappropriate to. There's no need to comment on anyone's physical appearance in the workplace.
And if people vote ored for Trump so they could feel flattered by their coworkers complimenting their outfits we e got bigger problems than I thought.

They are women athletes or have friends or family who are women athletes and don't think women competing against men is a fair or safe playing field.

Aheits can be dumb and racist too.



With all the minorities who voted for Trump it’s really time to find a new insult.


Racism and sexism are baked into our cultural DNA. It takes deprogramming. Which takes a lot of practice and the will to learn about how it creeps up, even if we’re well intentioned - toward ourselves and others.


Oh yes, the old standby of internalized racism and misogyny. Get over your smug self. Do you have any clue how patronizing this is?


Not at all. I don’t think it’s limited to Trump supporters, and think it’s dishonest to veto it outright. People are cloaked in their own beliefs, which is dangerous. I hear a lot of Trumpsters calling on Dems to self-reflect, but unwilling to do same.



Why do we need to self reflect we won. The democrats need to self reflect on why their views are out of touch with the mainstream.

What are the issues that attracted them to Trump?


Have a Gen Z DD and I honestly don't know if she voted for Trump, but here's the thing...it's not "one issue" and it's not that they were attracted to "Trump" the person. The DNC continues with denial denial denial. Below are my GenZ DD's views:

Perhaps not 100% stop but definitely reduce military spending (billions!) to Israel and other countries without accountability. Fix the many issues in the US first - put American citizens first.

Stop with the cultural/identity wars. She respects LGBTQ+ but seriously....rewriting/redoing movies and changing characters is getting ridiculous - if you want to be so inclusive create new stories, create new princesses. Don't go back and change things. Also she agreed that the whole gender identity education in schools is going too far and does not at all belong in elementary schools.

Not sure how she feels about deportation, but she does see schools overpopulated and resources stretched.

She does see the increase in crime, first hand! You know...the shoplifting/theft crimes that are not reported at all and therefore don't count in the statistics when DNC says crime is down, how convenient.



On her first point, Donald Trump is probably the worst person to put in charge if she wants to stop spending with Israel.

Democrats are not redoing TV shows and movies. That would be TV networks. If there's not an audience for it, they would stop doing it. But I do agree that the over policing of everything by liberals is a bit much.... The pronoun thing is a big one



Are you saying most of the entertainment industry is NOT Democrats?! Have you ever watched one of their award shows

People with conservative views are basically not allowed to speak up or they are ostrasized.



Can you example of what conservative views aren't allowed and who has been ostracized for them?


Is this a serious question? OMG...the entire DNC has their head in the sand. JK Rowling is exhibit A. How about stating that I love watching old John Wayne movies, Gone with the Wind, etc., How about thinking it was stupid to remove Aunt Jemima from syrup. Can I say that?

They have access to birth control and have had access to birth control for years.

They want to feel safe when they walk down the streets in cities. Crime is now rampant in cities.

My Gen Z High School kid and her friends were rooting for Trump, for these same reasons, even though most of them can't vote yet. The abortion issue was not on the top of their mind. They're at MCPS (and no, not at Damascus or Poolesville or a W school). I know Montgomery County is solid blue but many people I know flipped and voted Republican this year.

The only ones hurling insults is Trump, and by extension, you guys.

Harris never called him low IQ. He did though. Seemingly, that didn't bother women enough. So I guess it's not a losing issue.


No, she (and by extension you guys) called him a Nazi, fascist, and a threat to democracy. Her celebrity endorsement categorized him as a person who if elected will keep the power and will not allow anymore presidential election. If that's what you guys were so worried about, how come I see all these threads popping up discussing about which Democrat should run in 2028?

You go ahead and believe that Harris' campaign was based on joy!

NP. JK Rowling is saying whatever she wants and plenty of people are still buying her books. She’s not hurting at all. (And I agree with her, fwiw.)

Pretty sure those movies are still available for streaming, no? If you’re afraid to admit to watching them, that’s on you. I love Gone With the Wind and I voted for Harris.

As for syrup, you’re free to stop buying that brand if you don’t like what they did to the label. It’s just brown HFCS in a plastic bottle, though. Who cares?!

It’s true that JK Rowling is saying what she wants, but that’s because Elon Musk bought Twitter.

But more alarmingly, medical research and academic research has been frozen or stopped, and careers killed, if the professors didn’t bend the knee. Meanwhile cheaters like Gay and Tressier-Lavigne soared in their careers.

Surely you can admit people see this.

+100...but you will now have hundreds of responses denying that crime is up. The DNC is imploding on their continual denial.

This group should have been a lock-in for Harris. What is the explanation for why such a large percentage of young women voted for Trump?


Many of them went to middle and high schools where they had to not drink all day so they didn’t have to go to the bathroom, because the bathrooms in their schools aren’t safe.

All politics is personal.
