Female Trouble for the Right: The Widening Gender Gap
Chronicles ^ | June 12, 2024 | Carl F. Horowitz

Posted on 06/17/2024 8:57:26 AM PDT by Angelino97

The “gender gap” has been a reality of American voting behavior for over 40 years. And more than ever, polls show men leaning rightward and women leaning even harder leftward. Female resentments lately have hinged on one word above all others: Trump.

According to a Quinnipiac University Poll released this April, women preferred Joe Biden to Donald Trump by 52 percent to 41 percent, while men preferred Trump to Biden by 52 percent to 39 percent. Women aren’t all that enthusiastic about Biden. But they’ll dutifully vote for the old coot if it means putting Trump out of commission. As Leesburg, Virginia resident Nanette Mees put it last fall: “I don’t think that [Biden] is the perfect one. But if I have to pick between him and Trump, who I would never, ever, ever vote for, it would be Biden...

If Trump is elected this November, she and other women might cry. Recall the outpouring of feminine grief at Hillary Clinton headquarters in New York during the wee hours of Election Night 2016, realizing their candidate was going to lose to Trump.

What is it about Trump that enrages so many women? The answer may lie in an inherent contradiction within feminine behavior.

Females, as evolutionary biologists and psychologists such as Edward Dutton, Jonathan Haidt, and Steven Pinker have noted with great insight, are attracted to males who project power, confidence, and responsibility. For the sake of themselves and future offspring, women want a natural leader for a mate.

Yet they also possess an empathetic, egalitarian instinct that favors inclusion over exclusion in a group context. Nobody should feel left out. Those who would withhold prizes or otherwise jeopardize the participants’ emotional “safety” deserve a scolding. And women know how to scold.

If Carson is VP pick, then we need to spam the airwaves with the “Gifted Hands” movie with Cuba Gooding. I think suburban women would pay attention to someone like that — someone who can save kids’ lives. (At least maybe the ones who aren’t actively killing their children.)

If women still voted in lockstep with Deep State, then Deep State wouldn’t have to steal elections, would it...

People of color aren’t the only ones refusing to stay on the rez.

Notice the headline is not:

“Male trouble for the left”.

For the good of the human race, women should not be suffered to vote.

Deep State is ginning up another game of lets-you-and-him-fight.

Don’t join in.

This may upset my female friends, but a great part of our social problems, lack of discourse, far left legal opinions and laws are caused by women. Their more active involvement in government and laws is why.

Is that an indictment of women in power or government? No.

It is an indictment of the feminist movement which is not as much about equal rights as it is about socialism and radical ideas. A couple generations of radical lefts has developed from this movement hidden in the “equal rights” shroud.

The female vote carried Hitler to power.

Just an observation.

As I’ve said, there is nothing more dangerous to society than the liberal white woman.

Women, as a group, run on feelings and groupthink and fear. The democrats/socialists exploit all of this very well to their advantage. And the younger they are with less life experience, the more successful the dems/socialists are.

I’d say it’s more of a rationality gap.
