Pro-Kavanaugh women fed up with 'gender traitors' label: 'They'll see us at the polls'
The Washington Times ^ | October 10, 2018 | Valerie Richardson

Women who supported the confirmation of Supreme CourtJustice Brett M. Kavanaugh have been reamed on the left as brainwashed, shameful, privilege-defending gender traitors, and it’s starting to annoy them.

Anti-Kavanaugh activists saved their most virulent post-confirmation screeds for women who refused to condemn Justice Kavanaugh — especially the white ones — another indication of the resistance’s growing irritation with centrist and conservative women putting due process over feminist solidarity.

“I find the idea that ‘as a woman’ I must think a certain way extremely patronizing,” said Allie Stuckey, host of CRTV’s “Relatable.” “If these so-called feminists really believed in female empowerment, they’d be encouraging women to think with their brains rather than their anatomy.”

Rants against “white women,” “stupid Stepford wives,” “gender traitors,” and “brainwashed women” erupted on social media after the confirmation, as well as references to the 53 percent, the oft-cited percentage of white U.S. women who voted for President Trump.

To Ms. Stuckey, the barrage looks a lot like bullying. “People don’t like to be bullied for their beliefs by people who claim that our gender, socioeconomic status, race, etc., must determine our opinions,” she said.

The intragender tangling hit the mainstream with a weekend op-ed in the New York Times by public-relations consultant Alexis Grenell headlined, “White Women, Come Get Your People,” which unloaded on Justice Kavanaugh’s female supporters.

“These women are gender traitors, to borrow a term from the dystopian TV series ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’” said Ms. Grenell in the article. “They’ve made standing by the patriarchy a full-time job.”

The broadside drew a mix of disbelief, outrage and chortling on the right. “I always love being a traitor to my gender,” quipped right-of-center activist Laura Carno, who heads I Am Created Equal.

You could even tell the fellow “Thank you honey.” Without meaning he’s your steady. (Same for courtesies of men towards women.)

The silly sexualization of all love has made people afraid to show gestures of courtesy, and that is one of the biggest shames of all.

I feel the very same way. Yes, the factual history they spout is good to see.

I don’t know how many have joined the W A movement but I’d bet as many or more will simply vote Independent, Republican and keep it to themselves and some might not vote at all.

The Dems continue to show their true vile, indecent, ugly true colors and decent, normal people don’t like it.

All things considered, the Dems are in trouble.

The tantrum of the extreme Democrats has blown up in their face.

That said, Republicans shouldn’t pat themselves on the back, as the party that is less bad. They should thank the good Lord that they aren’t even worse, and ask the good Lord to bless the entire country before it is too late.

True liberality was and is a godly thing. Those strutting around calling themselves liberals today (being very illiberal as they do so) are worldly.

Today’s walkaways are like yesterday’s “Reagan Democrats.”

If it had not been for Donald Trump walking away from the Democrats, this never would have happened. Actually, the Democrats walked away from him. He has a vision very much like JFK, who still could say “ask what you can do for your country.” It was the GOP or nothing, and you can’t run on nothing. The glory is deserved by the Lord.

I still open doors for certain ones that aren’t recognizable as libs. I’ll always open a door for elderly men and women. But if the women don’t thank me, I raise my voice so they can hear “You’re welcome”. Most then say thank you.

I’ve used another tactic on some women. Once a real hag Feminazi pulled up next to me. she had a bumper sticker that said “When Clinton lied, nobody died”. (It was during Bush 2).

I innocently said “I see your bumper sticker and bet Bill Clinton would appreciate your support. She said “Oh, I’m sure he would”. I said “I’d bet he’s want to spend 30 minutes alone with you to show his appreciation”. She went berserk and told me to f myself. LOL I moved my car.

Democrats and their obvious hatred of White people in general and White Men in particular.

And they REALLY hate Christian white men.

I’m a fan of female beauty, but my dating life in CA tells me painfully how uncorrelated hotness and common sense are.

I thought California was/is a dating wasteland. Most of them are libtards, so the pickings are slim. I left.

What upsets me and REALLY upsets the blacks who make the #WALKAWAY videos, is that before now....THEY NEVER KNEW ANY FACTUAL HISTORY;JUST LIES! And they all are VERY angry about the lies, now that they finally know the truth. And THAT warms the cockles of my heart!

For every #WALKAWAY video, there are probably 50 to 100 people who have walked away, but haven't made a video; perhaps even know about this movement! And the whole Kavanaugh mess has driven more people OUT of the Dem plantation! That crazed MOB scene, inside and outside of the Senate and SCOTUS buildings terrified and angered most people.

This was really the WRONG hill for the stupid Dems to have chosen to die on! After all, Kavanaugh, before this, was somewhat a squish, which most of us, here, weren't thrilled about.

I am only a ‘gender traitor’ to those who have forgotten The Handmaidens’ Tale is nothing more than erotic fiction pushed by university ‘literature’ class as an equally fictitious ‘womans’ rights issue’ for the past 10 years. To others, I’m a woman who knows cheap fiction when she sees it.

They’re sitting there thinking Trump and Pence want to set up this oppressive regime in the US, denying abortions and such.

It boggles my mind that people are this ignorant. And you're right: everything they're afraid of, except for the ban on abortion, is found in Islamic societies, where men have the "choice" to kill the babies.

Exactly.

I trust many of these women live in Florida, Indiana, Nevada and Arizona.

It’s not about “attractiveness”.

But I suspect in may be, at least in part, about marital status.

How many of these harpies are married to men?

If the figure is very low, that may explain a lot of things.
