This is a misogyny emergency. A huge outpouring is coming in the runup to the US election {view from the UK left}

In 2016, a historically unprecedented incident took place. And yet, barely anyone even noticed. Even years later, we’ve failed to acknowledge it or to have begun the process of understanding it. Because we still can’t even see it.

And that’s because this incident involved a woman. And she was asking for it.

The woman was Hillary Clinton. What she was asking for was votes. And what she got was the single biggest outpouring of misogyny in human history.

We can now say that. Although no one ever does. But this was an unprecedented previously unimaginable event. Because 2016 was when the world’s first global instant mass communication technology – social media – crashed up against the most ancient of prejudices – misogyny.

Not a Hillary fan? You hate "women".

What is a "woman"? A member of an quasi-nationalist blood feud mentality death cult. Could be an actual female in many cases.

There can be no peaceful coexistence with "women".

The easy scapegoat, sexism. Sorry, very very few people rejected Clinton or today Harris, because they are women. It’s an excuse, but entirely misses the reason they were and are opposed.

I refused to vote for a failed grifter, incompetent leader, and arrogant narcissistic just because we both have vaginas. I won’t vote for this latest offering, either.

They are not looking for equality for women, they want equity. Give it to me because I’m a woman, qualifications have nothing to do with it.

Carole Cadwalladr has penis envy.

Sigmund Freud would have a field day with this Guardian patient.

Whenever I speak with someone who spurts out “misogyny” I ask the to define its companion word for the men side. Misandry

Can't we just admit that she's as equally incompetent as any man could ever hope to be?

Equality achieved...

Sadly, that is a key difference between Conservative women and Leftist women.

As a Conservative Woman, you would be no more inclined to vote for a female candidate due to her anatomy alone than I would be, as a Conservative Man, to vote for a male candidate on the basis of his anatomy.

For Leftists, they know no other way to vote, and there are a lot like them out there.

Hillary won the Popular Vote by 2.1% in 2016.

If the Hard Left Green Party had voted for her in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, she would have won the Electoral College, and the election, in 2016.

Does that really sound like misogyny?

Those who champion misandry are worthy of misogyny.

I just remembered...

Jill Stein was the Green Party presidential candidate in 2016.

Hillary Clinton lost because a FEMALE hard left third party candidate pulled votes away from Clinton in WI, MI, and PA, in 2016!

I’m a woman, and I’m not voting for anybody just because she is a chica like me.

If the candidate is on the wrong side of every issue, then I don’t vote for her. Or him.

I did not vote for Hillary for that reason and will not vote for Kamala for that reason. They are just flat out wrong about everything.

Conservatives have no issues with women, we loved Thatcher

Conservatives have no issues with blacks, we love Clarance Thomas

Our issue is with socialists and communists of any gender or race. And frankly no one likes a shrew like Hillary.

Been hearing the misogyny argument from Hillary since the early 90s. Those who spout it just refuse to believe that she represents the most negative cluster of stereotypes of woman that anyone, male or female, has ever experienced: the shrill ex-wife or harridan wife; the bitchy, hair-trigger boss; the backstabbing frienemy; the smug, mean-girl clique leader; the harping school teacher everyone hated; the clingy, social-climbing, gold-digger girlfriend; and now, the mob boss wearing the disguise of grand matriarch. She’s been a freaking doormat to the men around her for her entire life, but it’s everyone else’s fault.

It wasn’t misogyny. She was a horrible candidate and a horrible human being. The fact that she had XX chromosomes and (allegedly) female features was inconsequential.
