Of Misogyny, Musk, and Men. Women are not okay. We’re furious. [barf alert]
Mother Jones ^ | 11/15/2024 | Clara Jeffrey

In the days before the election, when too many stories about deadlocked polls and undecided voters and the MAGAfication of young men began to wear on my soul, I turned to TikTok to see what women were thinking. Soon enough I was swimming in a sea of female excitement and angst. I watched videos of ordinary women of all ages and races—in deep blue districts and deep red ones—describing what this election meant to them. Women who had just voted, sitting in their cars and sobbing about what it would mean to elect the first female president, what it would mean to defeat a vitriolically sexist candidate who’s been found liable for sexually assaulting one woman and who stands accused by dozens more, whose campaign gleefully demeaned women as “trash” and “childless cat ladies.” What it would mean to elect someone who’d spent the last three months, and the two years before that, connecting reproductive freedom to economic concerns. What it would mean to elect someone taking the stress of caring for both kids and parents seriously, who recognizes the housing crisis is hurting all but the richest, who has more than a concept of a plan for how to address such problems.

I watched one young woman driving 10 hours to her home state because her absentee ballot never arrived, muttering “10 and 2, 10 and 2” as she stared out at the road ahead. I watched women flying across the country to vote. I watched women take part in the “They both reached for the gun” Chicago meme as they talked about canceling out the vote of their Trump-supporting father, brother, or husband. Or bragging on husbands or dads whose vote they didn’t have to cancel. One who said she wouldn’t have to cancel out her husband’s vote because he’d forget to do it if she didn’t remind him.

One woman told of breaking off her engagement when she found out her fiancé was for Trump. (“I can’t share my life with someone who is going to vote in that direction…Ladies, we need to stick together.”) I watched as young woman after young woman testified that they’d never, ever consider dating anyone who voted for Trump. I watched as women who were in middle or high school in 2016 reacted in horror at seeing, for the first time, Trump bragging on an Access Hollywood bus about grabbing women by the pussy and moving on them “like a bitch,” or stalking Hillary Clinton around a debate stage, or seeing the testimonies of the more than 25 women who have reported being sexually assaulted by him. “Dads voted for this?” read one incredulous caption.

Kind of says it all, there.

These type of women have made us all unsafe in actual reality. They’re simply nuts.

I’m still trolling wokesters in public. Today it was blasting Lee Greenwood.

Women need to stick together, get spayed, shave their heads, armpits, legs and chests.

Did she also watch a woman who killed her father woth an axe in Seattle because she was overwhelmed by Trump victory?

Democrats love to say Trump uses words that trigger violence when they are doing it.

I guess that the difference between men and women. Men just go about deciding what makes sense and vote for that. If their person wins they go about their lives.

These women (not all women, of course) live in angst and fear from some imaginary boogeyman they’ve been brainwashed into thinking will personally ruin their entire existence just for winning an election.

My first reaction to all of this silly idiot’s angst that we didn’t vote to destroy our Republic is: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

But then I saw this:

“One woman told of breaking off her engagement when she found out her fiancé was for Trump. (“I can’t share my life with someone who is going to vote in that direction…Ladies, we need to stick together.”) I watched as young woman after young woman testified that they’d never, ever consider dating anyone who voted for Trump.”

My reaction to that is, “and they think that WE are a cult?!” What a bunch of lunatics. Better for men and all of society that these psychos don’t reproduce.
