"And in quiet conversations, some female Harris supporters can’t shake the uneasy feeling that men in their lives are struggling to support a woman — especially a Black and South Asian woman — even if they don’t want to admit it."

That's the 5th paragraph of the New York Times article "Why Gender May Be the Defining Issue of the Election/The issue is rarely directly addressed by either Vice President Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. But the 2024 contest is, in ways overt and subtle, a referendum on the role of women in American life." 

I wonder how the NYT heard the "quiet conversations" and how, assuming you could hear them, you would know that the interlocutors had a particular feeling and it was unshakable, and how, assuming you would know that, the feelers of the unshaken feeling felt that they knew the contents of the mind of the man in her life, that he both wants to support the woman and doesn't want to admit he's having trouble doing what he thinks he is trying to do.
“If she were a man, would this race be this close?” Gov. Janet Mills of Maine asked a clutch of Democratic women after campaigning for Ms. Harris in suburban Pittsburgh. Joyce Reinoso, one of those women, shot back, “Oh, she would’ve won three weeks ago.”...

If Kamala Harris were a man, she would not have been chosen for Joe Biden's Vice President, and if she were not Vice President, she would not have been the one that the nomination that was stolen from him got handed to. She wouldn't be anywhere near the presidency.

For feminists, sex (not gender) is always the question regardless of the topic.

"and her only campaign event today is a CNN town hall."

Town hall? Will questions be allowed or will Kamala be reading a press release?

Her heritage is complicated. She IS cashing in as a "pro choice" woman.

If women run the world, then why do they need so much help?

You're supporting a sh*tty candidate because she's a woman. At least have the presence of mind to realize that and not burden "your man" with the same baggage.

When a man has a problem it’s the man’s fault. When a woman has a problem it’s the man’s fault.

At the staged event, Trump put on an apron to work as a fry attendant and handed people food at the location, which had been closed for the campaign stop. All of the customers were pre-screened to be Trump supporters.

She was chosen cause she was so easy to order around. She did what she was told and did not give them any lip... and that is why she became VP. Just a puppet for a puppet.

And she got the nomination cause... well hell they didn't have anyone else that wanted it and no doubt Obama would love to have another puppet that won't give him any lip.

That's one of the more irritating things about Meghan Markle--to her, everything is about women and girls.

How's your finger, buddy?

Cruel neutrality. Ambiguous choice. Toxic genderism?

RideSpaceMountain said...

Female narcissists outnumber male narcissists 1000 to 1. To a narcissist like Markle males are a fashion statement, just like her royally queer husband.

Really? That happened? I did not know that. I mean, you'd think we would've seen something about it.

Do you have a point?

We were told women no longer needed men. #MessageReceived

Make that last supposition suppositories and that’s a good prescription for what ails teh Left.

I have to admit that I'm kind of impressed by her ability to put forth such flowery language that ultimately says nothing. There is some talent in being able to do that. Not useful talent though.
