Marilyn Monroe and Hugh Hefner were born in the same year and buried in the same graveyard. But as Louise Perry points out in her book “The Case Against the Sexual Revolution,” they met completely different fates.
Marilyn died a tortured sex symbol of the burgeoning sexual revolution, while Hefner lived large as the quintessential playboy, capitalizing on the same sexual liberalism.
“The story of the sexual revolution isn’t only a story of women freed from the burdens of chastity and motherhood, although it is that,” Perry writes. “It is also a story of the triumph of the playboy — a figure who is too often both forgotten and forgiven.”

*Both JFK and Clinton (and to a certain extent Obama) were elected on the women vote.*
Republican women too. All were younger(in their 40’s). All were orators-gift of gab(again).
*She said Clinton had incredible charisma..* It’s called connecting.*
*Which is why Gavin Newsom has an excellent chance of becoming a future President.* I don’t think so. He’s in his 50’s, no gift of gab and his record as Gov. is bad even to the naive. The other 3 had the likability gene. Gavin looks like the kind who spends time in front of the mirror. Our best counter against him would be DeSantis, not Trump.
Women are the gatekeepers of sex.
Men are the gatekeepers of commitment.
A gate that opens for everyone is a shitty gate.
Lotta replies here, forgive me if I missed this comment:
Why buy a cow if the milk is free?
You are presuming that men, by default, don’t want parenthood.
Gentlemen prefer the road less traveled.
Milk is boring. You can slaughter the cow and enjoy a big, fat BBQ. No commitments, no responsibilities, nothing but fun.
Define the phrase “imitating men”.
This is plain bs pal.
Well said.
Gay pride!
Although my wife does not (or she would be fired), I agree with you on the 19th Amendment.
Gavin Newsom will turn 61 in 2028. He will be relatively young. So he'll get some work done on his face. Plastic surgery. Maybe he'll dye his hair.
Gavin is full of BS but if Joe can get elected. Trust me Gavin can do it in a walk.
Our best counter against him would be DeSantis
I agree. But it depends on whether DeSantis will run against him.
Basically it’s gotten worse over time. You can compare’18/’19 to ‘94, a lot more women were married back then so they were less likely to be reliant on big government.
No...not really but I know some only care about being fathers when they care about the mother. Some men don’t seem to care even when they were married to the mother.
All traditionally feminine pursuits as dismissed as unimportant and inferior and disempowering, and only women who succeed in traditionally masculine pursuits are defined as successful and held up as role moles.
>>Not all women are like that - this was my point.<<
Not all, but definitely a majority. The “gender gap” in politics is very real.

And in our combined polls of 2022 so far, the gender gap has now jumped to 33 points, with Republicans holding an 18-point advantage among men, and Democrats a 15-point edge among women.
>>Because the women you are talking about are happily married to their husbands<<
I think single women are more likely to vote Democrat.
Feminism was invented by a man. Men get all the benefits and women get dead babies.
