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.
Excellent point.
I have no idea, but then I have never giving it any thought.
So they admit that they vote with their lady parts...not with moral core principles!
They will soon trash African American women who voted for president Trump. Tomorrow.
F’em.

The entire fashion industry is opposed to 80% of what conservatives stand for. Conservative women dress with style, not fashion.
[This is the new tactic by the left. First white men....now white women.]
Yep.
Now all we need is the wisdom of rappers. No joke, Leftist Yahoo has an “article” up with one. Who does he support? Well the LGBT gun-grabbing Beto. I’m so surprised.....not.
Vogue is the magazine that proclaimed that Michelle Obama was the first lady the world was waiting for when he won the election.
‘Or is it editress?’
actually it should be ‘idiotrix...’
Wanna be fashionable? Well then ...
They do not dress far better these days. They have all turned into fashion victims wearing mostly ugly clothes that cost a fortune. Even if they get freebies, the “designer” clothes are still ugly in many cases.
So many things wrong with the liberal Leftists.
Where to begin....
Vogue sucks.
Me too! I do the research and fill in the sample ballot and my husband and my Mom vote like I do. I’m offended and insulted that these Liberals presume white women vote as they are directed by their husbands and are incapable of independent thought.
bttt
The reason that they vote for my suggested candidates is because I do the research which they are loathe to do. Also, I am an outspoken conservative and a supporter of men’s rights. In the 90’s I was working in a bookstore when Dead White European Males were being maligned. It cheesed me off then and this new wave of misandry really p!sses me off. One thing I do know, I would not knowingly vote for a democrat if you paid me to.
How dare they care about immigration, national security, the economy, or be pro life!
Coco et al were rolling over in their respective graves.
(but watch out for the prude patrol)
war on whites keep going, yet the whites sit around wondering wtf is going on, or are oblivious to it.
