Your argument is overly simplistic.  Yes there are some men who are voting against her because they don't want a woman president, but I think there are far fewer of those than you think.  T[b]here are probably more white men who are voting against her this year because they have just been through 8 years of a non-white male president and want to come back to a white male president [/b](since that's all we've ever had prior to 2008), [u]but I think the number of people who are actually voting this way is highly overestimated[/u].[/quote]
? Doesn't the bolded just support what I'm thinking?  I don't know the numbers, and obviously, I don't know what the 70% of non educated white male voters who are supporting Trjmp are thinking, but I just can't help think there is some sexism going on here.  Like I said, that statement by white repub males about HRC not smiling during the CIC forum really hit me.

Like I stated, my white DH is voting for HRC, so yes, I do know there are white men out there who support her.  [/quote]

I think you changed the context of what I wrote.  Yes, the bolded part does support what you opined.  However, I wanted to stress the underlined.  I think there are some, but I think that the framing of the OP and the focus of your discussion are vastly overstated.   I think that while it may affect some people, I think it is not a huge statistically significant portion of the voting population that are voting based on gender and that your subject makes it sound like a huge majority or all white men, when I think it is a relatively small and less significant number of white men who are voting this way.[/quote]
