Thanks a bunch, America. You’ve left no room for doubt that, yet again, your presidential preference is for anybody but a woman. Yup, even if the man is a galumphing sexual predator who boasts about assaulting women and has vowed to “protect” women “whether the women like it or not”. Yup, even if the woman is cleverer, younger, more energetic, more articulate and comfortable enough in her own skin not to plaster it with orange tan. The manosphere rules, OK. Nothing changes. Not really. Not ever.
In the post-Roe v Wade age of JD Vance’s “cat ladies”, as it became clear that voters had shown Kamala Harris the exit door marked Hillary Clinton, political analysts pored over a cornucopia of reasons why Donald Trump has been elected to the White House for a second term. It was the economy. It was immigration. It was the price of groceries. It was fear of war (seriously!) and anger about Joe Biden’s pathetic response to Israel’s mass-murdering in Gaza, with nary a mention that it was President Trump who emboldened Binyamin Netanyahu by relocating the US embassy to Jerusalem. In the midst of the postmortem, Andrew Tate, purveyor of violently misogynistic bilge, tweeted: “I’m moving back to America.” Fortunately, he can’t. The former kick boxer is awaiting trial in Romania on charges of rape and people-trafficking. Just imagine you were a woman trying to flee the Taliban’s Afghanistan and picking a country in which to seek refuge. Would you stick your pin in the USA as the safest harbour on Earth? I would think twice, at least. I would think about Josseli Barnica, a Texan mother who died after a hospital failed to intervene in her miscarriage because of the state’s abortion ban. I would think about Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, who both died in Georgia from attempted home medical abortions because they were terrified they would be jailed if they sought help. And I would think about the millions of Texans and Georgians who still went out and voted for the anti-choice Trump. I would think of Madison Square Garden where only one woman – a lawyer for the candidate – addressed Trump’s last-blast rally while some of the 17 men who speechified and were applauded – among them a wrestler, a shock-jock, a reality-denier and a politician who derides single women – variously implied that Harris was a prostitute with “pimp handlers” and called Clinton “a sick son of a bitch”. I would think of the hands on the nuclear levers in the White House that sexually abused writer E Jean Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman changing room and funnelled shut-up money to porn actress Stormy Daniels. I would think of the president-elect’s victory speech eulogising a parade of men including Vance, the mixed martial-arts supremo Dana White, LIV golfer Bryson DeChambeau and Elon Musk, owner of the world’s biggest vomitorium of untruths.
The Taliban may have recreated the Dark Ages in Afghanistan but America is crawling back in the same direction. Massaging fragile masculinity is the impetus that makes both countries tick. In the US, it is manifested in the opinion of Trump-loyalist and podcaster Joe Rogan that women’s purpose in life is to obtain a male “provider”. Now this Brotherhood of Male Chauvinist Proselytisers has its mascot-in-chief re-ensconced in the Oval Office. Denigrating women is Trump’s calling card. A tiny selection from his lexicon of insults includes “bird brain” (Nikki Haley), “horse face” (Stormy Daniels), “sadly, she’s no longer a 10″ (Heidi Klum), “bimbo” (Megyn Kelly), “I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man” (Arianna Huffington), “a big fat pig” (Rosie O’Donnell). On Clinton, he said: “If [she] can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?” On Harris, he said, unintentionally laughably: “I’m better looking than [her].” In Trump’s America, women are docile Stepford wives at the disposal of men who are terrified of losing control over them. That’s why the Trump camp was incensed by Julia Roberts’s commercial for Harris’s campaign reminding women that their men need never know how they voted in the ballot box. Unfortunately, not all misogynists are men. Many women too are brainwashed into thinking they really are the weaker sex. Self-immolation is a fact of history.
During the election campaign, the so-called “liberal” broadcast media in the US prattled about the gender gap between Harris-supporting women and Trump-supporting men. This, they said, could swing the result for Harris to become what some inexplicably described as “the first black woman president”. America elected its first black president 16 years ago. It has never elected a woman president. It was as if, by their constant invocation of the superfluous adjective in relation to Harris, even woke media types could not bring themselves to enunciate the vista of a woman president, without qualifiers. Unsurprisingly, the gender gap transmogrified into the gender trap. A procession of flawed men has paraded into the White House and yet voters still demand that a woman candidate must be without fault. As CNN’s political commentator Van Jones put it in the context of Trump-versus-Harris, he got to be lawless while she had to be flawless. It is galling to hear post-election commentators blame Harris for being a bad candidate, just as they did with Clinton. As if anybody could look bad beside Trump, who beat both women to become president but lost to a man. How ironic that the legacies of those men, Bill Clinton and Biden, damaged the women’s campaigns.
What the Trump victory teaches this country is the imperative to be vigilant. For Ireland is having its own race to the bottom, much of it predicated on the desire to subordinate women. Whether it’s the religious right, the anti-abortion, pro-woman-in the-home lobby or racist agitators purporting to “protect our women” from the clutches of immigrants whom they despicably brand as “rapists”, there is an ultraconservative yearning to return to the misty-eyed olden times when men were the hunters-gatherers and women showed them their gratitude. Well, this woman is not going back there. And, for now, she has no wish to step on the soil of the USA either. Why venture where you’re not wanted?
That would make a freight train take a dirt road.
Agreed sir, laid out (and as Jerry Clower said “graveyard dead”), that’s what you were alluding to wasn’t it?
Well, she does present a compelling argument against voting for women. Still, I know that our Conservative women are smarter and more capable of leading. This one can’t seem to even figure out that the invader followers of mohamed are all about subjugating women.
yet they loved the hell out of the rapist Bill Clinton? Go figure
No, they would rather plaster it with ugly tats and snot rings
Author is pathetic.
As a woman, all I can say is you’re welcome. Now sod off and go cry to your comfort kitten.
Wow, must be 2-3 days since I last "galumphed."
Gotta see if the little wife is up to any "playtime" this evening.
Regards,
Same here!
The night that the definitive election results were released, we went out to our favorite Italian restaurant to celebrate. Took a photo of ourselves toasting Pres. Trump's victory. My wife is perhaps even more staunchly conservative than I am - and that in spite of having grown up in the "Young Pioneers" of the erstwhile Soviet Union.
Thinking of sending that photo to our investment advisor, from whom we just received the following treacly e-mail:
We have now had a few days to process the results of the election. It has been difficult, filled with myriad complicated emotions. Simultaneously, the market reacted with a steep rally, looking forward to the expected tax cuts without regard for the promised tariffs – at least at this point. [Blah-blah-blah.] In the meantime, and most importantly, we at XXX Advisors care about your wellbeing. We offer a safe, open and supportive place for you, our clients. Please, always feel free to reach out whenever you are in need of a supportive ear.
Can you folks imagine the lack of professionality required to pen and send an e-mail like that?!
Regards,
Who would want to go there now? There are a couple of million Third-Worlders from sh*thole countries already there to "enrich" Ireland.
Regards,
I would suggest Justine take a Midol, but I suspect it is too late for that.
I’d find a new financial adviser.
L
We ex-patriates ain't got much choice.

Oh the horror. Irish leftist women might have to form their own identity instead of following the American left like a teenager on tiktok.
“In the meantime, and most importantly, we at XXX Advisors care about your wellbeing. We offer a safe, open and supportive place for you, our clients.”
omg.
I do not shock easily—but this blew me away.
I hate that entire industry for many reasons—you just gave me another one to add to the list.
Lol.
Laz knows better I’m sure.
Read what I wrote again. We haven’t rejected “women.” We rejected two specific women.
And we noticed they didn’t get all outraged when Kari Lake lost, just when the leftist women lost.
You are welcome.
I pat your head.
No criticism intended FRiend. You were very clear that you’re not a woman-hater like the leftists are. All good.
