Sadly, there have always been female misogynists. Far too many of them, women please stop putting other women down we need to lift each other up!

Having grown up in a very patriarchal cult and area (West Michigan), I know hundreds of women that are misogynistic. It’s ingrained in them from birth. Most is them are voting for Trump and believe men are called to lead all spheres of life.

I am only one of a handful (none have in my own immediate family) who have broken out. There is definitely a price to pay to break out; it’s been set up that way. 😢😢.

I still know it was definitely the right thing to do for myself and my daughter.

I wish I could reach them better. They’re mostly abuse victims.

I believe the headline is misleading. I don't believe a persons political leaning makes them misogynistic. If i don't believe in abortion, do I hate women? Please help me understand your perspective.

What I don't understand is how the political women named above consider themselves worthy to hold office. Shouldn't Sarah Huckabee Sanders be home scrubbing floors on her hands and knees and getting dinner on the table when her husband wants it rather than pretending that women are capable of running anything, much less a whole state?

All the rethuglican Karen’s are just dying to be in the “white boy club (WBC)

The very sad thing is that women will never really be IN the WBC but the real white boys will use them for this nonsensical drivel from good ole Sarah Hucksterbee, and for sex, and for housekeeping and of course the ever wonderful assignment having their Damiens).

Thank you, we all need to realize that anyone's political perspective is composed of more than their "identity," however strong a role that plays. I just read a piece by another substack author I follow, Paul Street, who breaks down the phenomenon of Black MAGA supporters who, yes, really are a "thing." https://paulstreet.substack.com/p/black-maga-is-a-thing

I've met women like this. Always shocks me. My take is they "win" with misogynistic men and relish being tokens. With the exception of the She Devils, my view is they are all filled with self loathing at being female.
