"At a rally this evening near Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump said his team had advised him to stop talking about how he was going to protect women by ending crime and making sure they don’t have to be 'thinking about abortion.”'

"In the last two days, you may have noticed a strange uptick in right-wing commentators talking about Harris’s 'attack' on the 'sanctity of marriage.' There’s been a bit of a buzz about conservative white women voting for Harris secretly — breaking with their faith communities and perhaps even their husbands to cast a vote against Donald Trump."

"FOX News has been losing their collective minds over the ad [by at Vote Common Good telling women they have a right to vote for whom they choose without their husbands instructing them] — accusing Harris of encouraging women to lie to their spouses and equating the wives who vote for Harris with those who commit adultery."

Who knew the secret ballot was an attack on the sanctity of marriage. Women deserve the right to vote but it should exercised by ther husbands (or fathers) as god intended.

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@wdlindsy

The reason they hate it so much is that they are looking at the early voting data which has women crushing men in early turnout and the polling they are doing shows a lot of crossover of Republican women. If it keeps going like this Trump is toast, so they are freaking out.

MAGA Men Are Freaking Out Over Their Wives Secretly Voting for Harris

Fox News’s Jesse Watters is the latest to have a full-blown meltdown over the possibility of his wife voting for Kamala Harris.

@mastodonmigration You are exactly right about what's fueling their freakout. Thanks for the better link. I'll use that one, instead.

[econads@mendeddrum.org]

@wdlindsy funny, I was just now thinking the exact same thing in reverse. If I was in the US, and my husband/bf voted Trump, I would be out of there. They obviously would not be prioritising my well-being. We would not be a team, he would not have my back. I would not feel safe with them any more.

[itssaggy@federate.social]

@wdlindsy I thought that Harris ad was an homage to a 2016 Trump ad where the tag line was something to the effect of “no one needs to know who you voted for”. Can’t find it now, maybe I’m misremembering

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@wdlindsy

It would be entertaining to watch if the stakes weren't so high.

@wdlindsy

Sorry, Fox and asshat conservatives, women have a right to think for themselves. Fuck all the way off with your nonsense.

[finaloverdrive@kolektiva.social]

@wdlindsy Well yes. Why do you think earlier generations of feminists and other assorted radicals wanted to abolish the marriage relation period?

[berniethewordsmith@masto.es]

@wdlindsy There was an ad about that, and it was diabolical on dunking in the fears of MAGA https://youtu.be/jlsd1wZ9jF4?si=9lyPTAllkHGBqUU_

That Jessie Waters segment served as a good reminder why it would be a good idea.

"So many of the feeder streams into Trumpism well up from springs of reaction to changes in the status of women. Dobbs has made it plain that anti-abortion sentiment is primarily about control of women. Its supporters are indifferent to women dying, women risking death, women enduring pregnancy after rape."

Trump Essentials (5): It's The Gender, Stupid

Trump Has Cruelty and Malice For All, But It's Women That Are His Issue

(timothyburke.substack.com)

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

"Because what Trump has to offer men is permission to hate women. Those women.

And the terms of that hate are not 'Women are taking away our precious cultural ideas about manhood!'. It’s pretty much 'Women are taking our jobs and our social power, women are doing better at most of what we have done, women are—without any malice or plan—unveiling the many cases where men have risen to the top on nothing more than mediocrity & a pair of testicles.'"

@wdlindsy Excellent piece!

[bubbajet@mastodon.world]

@wdlindsy @inthehands If your husband or church considers it “adultery” or “breaking with the church” to vote for the candidate that isn’t a rapist felon who wants to unburden you of even more rights, you’re in an abusive relationship. It’s long past time to leave.

[katrinakatrinka@infosec.exchange]

@wdlindsy
Men don't need permission to hate women. That's the toxic masculinity our culture loves.

Men need a get out of jail free card when they act on that hatred. That's what Trump offers.
