Usually, I get political wisdom from Rahm Emanuel, not his brother Ari.
But a quote from Ari, the Hollywood macher, to Puck’s Matthew Belloni about the gender chasm in 2024 caught my eye.
“This election is gonna come down to probably 120,000 votes,” Ari said. “You probably have 60 percent of the male vote for Trump, and the female vote is 60-40 for Kamala. It’s a jump ball. We’re gonna find out who wants this more — men or women.”
Are we back to the days of Mars versus Venus? Or did we never leave?
It is the ultimate battle of the sexes in the most visceral of elections. Who will prevail? The women, especially young women, who are appalled at the cartoonish macho posturing and benighted stances of Donald Trump and his entourage? Or the men, including many young men, union men, Latino and Black men, who are drawn to Trump’s swaggering, bullying and insulting, seeing him as the reeling-backward antidote to shrinking male primacy.
Drilling into the primal yearnings of men and women — their priorities, identities, anger and frustration — makes this election even more fraught. When I wrote a book about gender in 2005, I assumed that, a couple of decades later, we’d all be living peacefully on the same planet. But no Cassandra, I. The sexual revolution intensified our muddle, leaving women in a tangle of dependence and independence in the 21st century. The more we imitated men, the more we realized how different we were.
Progress zigzags. But it was dispiriting to see the fierce backlash to Geraldine Ferraro, Anita Hill and Hillary Clinton’s co-presidency and candidacy.

Dowdy doodee!
Just one question, Mo. Are you including men who identify as women?
>> it was dispiriting to see the fierce backlash to Geraldine Ferraro, Anita Hill and Hillary Clinton’s co-presidency and candidacy
The backlash wasn’t because they’re womyn... it’s because they’re evil, or idiots, or both. Same reason we don’t take crap from you, Maureen.
For as often as they keep disparaging men, you would think male voters would vote 75-25 for Trump.
Maureen Dowd doesn’t speak for womyn. Rachel Levine is their standard bearer.
White liberal women are the most insane

Democrats: The party of women and the men who fear them.©️
Upp, oop. I mean, yay, A MoDo thread.
I only read these threads for the comments.
and black women continue to believe the lies peddled by the Democrats.
You’ve seen the responses of men why they no longer court or marry women. The mental state of women is creating a tectonic change in western civilization.
The election is not about the sexes. It’s about choosing between a straight-talking, confident, tireless, competent person who will move the country back towards its former greatness, or a weak, blathering, incompetent who will lock the country in a nightmare of marxism.
How bad do you want it ladies? The jokes write themselves.
Rules! Maureen Dowd.
She didn’t mention the backlash to Sarah Palin. Hmmmmmm
And I’m choosing the MAGA side.
This proves how spoiled most western women are, that’s assuming they’re even biological females to begin with.
If women want Que Mala Harris, they are welcome to her! Unfortunately that means that they force her on everyone else.
As an aside, several of my college-educated. women friends - by no means stupid women - are all in for Harris. There is no reasoning with them. And frankly I can't understand their support for her.
Where did the unhinged woman scream at the toddler?
