If you’re a white woman, the writers at Vogue Magazine apparently believe you are too ignorant to be voting.
In a scathing article published Thursday, Voguecontributing editor Michelle Ruiz went after white women who voted in the midterms, who according to Ruiz “overwhelmingly threw their support behind conservative Republican male candidates. Again.”
It would appear that white women are simply not meeting the voting expectations of the Vogueeditor. In her article, Ruiz pointed to past examples of candidates Roy Moore and President Donald Trump, each of whom received a significant portion of the white women’s vote, before pivoting to the 2018 midterms.
“White women overall rendered more disappointment,” complained Ruiz.
The article went on to lament the fact that in Georgia, roughly 75% of white women voted for Republican Jack Kemp in the governor’s race, while Democrat Stacey Abrams received an estimated 97% of the black women’s vote.
The problem however, according to Ruiz, wasn’t so much that white women voted for a white man over a black woman--instead, it’s that Kemp is “passionately pro-life”, while Abrams “is a staunch protector of women’s reproductive rights.”
Vogue’sRuiz takes issue, too, with the heated Senate race in Texas, where ”60 percent of white women cast their ballots for Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, a supporter of alleged assaulters President Trump and Brett Kavanaugh, over Democrat Beto O’Rourke, who is dedicated to improving women’s healthcare.”
Again, Ruiz’s main issue with white women voting appears to be their aversion to voting for pro-abortion candidates.
And although Ruiz characterizes black women as the “underappreciated backbone of the Democratic party,” she believes “white women voters are establishing themselves as maddeningly, confusingly . . . unsisterly.”
But as if that weren’t enough, the Voguepiece then goes even further, with Ruiz speculating that perhaps white women are just too ignorant and gullible to vote properly.
“Are they so invested in their own white privilege that they simply don’t care about other women?”, asked Ruiz. “Are they parroting their Republican husbands and/or brainwashed by Fox & Friends? Maybe and maybe.”
Jackie Payne, who has worked for both the National Organization for Women (NOW) and Planned Parenthood Federation of America, seems to agree. Payne told Voguethat she believes the tendency for white women to vote for conservative candidates is due to “women voters having a lack of information and living with close ties to conservative men.”
According to Payne, these same men are in control of what is being shown to their wives on the TV, which is tuned to Fox News. And she says that white women are so busy doing all of the housework--”the lion’s share of domestic labor,” she calls it--that they “tune out and end up with a lack of information about politics.”
“They are swimming in the deep end of white male patriarchy,” said Payne.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
I personally think no white woman should ever again buy or even pick up a copy of Vogue magazine.
White women everywhere should cancel their subscriptions.
(Not that I ever read Vogue...)
The left is now all about promoting ideas of white perfidy, white original sin, and white-hate.
They have soaked themselves in Neo-marxist and critical theory for so long, it has become part of their core ideology. It can’t be removed without destroying them.
Its not going to end well.
Every time the Left calls White Women names, we should offer them a tax holiday on shoes. We win!
Just stop buying their crap product ,there shamed them back
Since Obama, the left has forgotten how to debate and convince. Now they resort to attacking anyone who disagrees with them. Not a way to get people to follow.
Damn it, white women quit thinking for yourselves. Don’t you know Anna Wintour and gang are far more sophisticated and knowledgeable than you are and they dress far better? Thus they are to be obeyed.
i be ignant cuz i done vote for dem republikens.
i be a white lady and dum.
i best never vote cuz my gina say i should vote for demokrats.
for now on, i be voting for the right people. the baby killahs.
“Now they resort to attacking anyone who disagrees with them.”
It’s standard communist tactics, but Obama and his minions are too stupid to realize that you need to get absolute power first before you implement it, otherwise it just backfires on you.
I hope ALL the white people in the Democratic Party get voted out.
This conservative woman helped her husband see the light early on in their marriage (1992) when he mistakenly voted for the wrong candidate. There was no need to nag. I only needed to ask him if he truly believed that the democrat party supported him and his beliefs. Shortly after the inauguration he understood the truth of what I was saying. He changed his party within a short time and has now been a conservative for going on 26 years.
So, no, Ms. Ruiz, I am no dumb follower like you are. I can actually think for myself and have had only a positive influence on my husband and family. This year I selected all of our candidates on our sample ballot and my husband, son, father and brother all voted for conservatives.
This is the new tactic by the left. First white men....now white women.
If that’s supposed to convince them to come back, good luck.
Shouldn’t a female editor be referred to as an editrix? Or is it editress?
How can they shame anyone who can’t be shamed!! This is ridiculous .. using words to have their way... is there so little “adult” in women today that they can be used this way?
Don’t tell me women have changed from being the strong, everlasting women I grew older with... to weak and intimidated women! I see them as viewers of oprah... I see them as viewers of the view... easily led, easily lied to... but don’t tell me that is the norm!
No...the gullible ignorance is with the Vogue types who can't imagine any woman might actually disagree with their close-minded, anti-life opinions.
Arrgh, what a stupid post
