"Why women should vote for women."

Everyone is free to vote for any candidate for any reason. Probably Hitlery will win this election. I am not going to advice women how to vote.

But as long as there is discrimination against men, men should look out for their interests. For those unfamiliar with discrimination:

– There is very severe discrimination against male DV victims

– Men are moderately discriminated in divorce cases

– Male offenders get 63% more time for the same offences

– Extreme male bashing is acceptable in Mainstream Media

Men commit more crimes than women, and thus have (on the average) a higher record of prior offenses. Does the statistic remain true if you normalize on the basis of prior offenses?

I stopped reading right there.

I knew at that point that anything you said past that would not only hold no interest, but would be completely uninformative.

A) That’s a blog post.
B) Mother Jones is utterly not part of the Mainstream Media.
C) The truth is an absolute defense against libel.
D) You think what you write here is acceptable. How do you justify that?

Pointing out any discrimination and undeserved hate against anyone including the “privileged” gender has been acceptable since 1776. I can see nothing wrong with that.

Well, you can thank me for disabusing you of that ignorance! The constitution gives Congress that authority, not the president (despite some presidents ignoring that).

That’s a good point. No Senator should ever be held responsible for his or her votes.

Actually, you can thank me. I said ‘went to war,’ not ‘declared war.’

It’s beyond disingenuous to claim that Hillary was the cause of a declaration of war made with 76 other Senators (77%-23%) and 297 Representatives (63%-37%). Nice try, though.

The flip side of this argument is that men should vote for male candidates.

Why is that not likely to happen? As you point out, it would be stupid of her, but given that she IS stupid, perhaps it should be viewed as expected.

/facepalm

No thanks.

Then I guess it’s a good thing I didn’t say that!

MIght be more likely if I ever actually ran for a public office.

In exactly the same way that the flip side of Black Lives Matter is White Lives Matter.

Yeah, I know it’s hard admitting you’re wrong.

It’s what you and Sanders supporters intimate all the time. Oooh Hillary is a warmonger because she, along with a commanding majority of Congress, voted for the Iraq war! Nevermind that the entire country was fed a load of misinformation by the Bush administration.

Yeahrite.

Emphasis added by me.

All women have had the actual experience, it’s just that some have been taught from birth that that’s just the way it is, better get used to it. At least, that’s the only explanation I have for women voting for someone that they know is going to limit their rights as a human being, all for the sin of being born female.

White Christian Males have the privilege of being able to think for themselves and everyone else should just get in line because their vote was decided for them when they were born.

I’m just going to quote that and lay it out bare so that everybody can stare at it for a while and think about what it takes to be that oblivious to reality.

Or perhaps an idea such as “woman’s interest” is very limited and women have like men their political views determined by other factors such as class, ethnicity, and religious belief/personal conviction. For example, in the struggle for guaranteed maternity leave, your female CEO is far less of a “sister” to a working-class woman then the woman’s own male relatives.

It wasn’t “extreme” considering she was the only female presidential candidate in a recent election cycle.

So please tell me why male Democrats are more likely to support things like paid maternity leave, universal health care, wage equality, universal daycare, legalized abortion, and the like compared to female Republicans. :rolleyes:

Nonsense. As has been readily proved in this thread, anyone who votes for someone who is not of their gender or race or sexuality is brainwashed.

That means, of course, that someone like me is supposed to vote only for straight white male atheists. If only I could find one!
