Kate Manne thinks that women will see Harris elected. She says,

"This election is about men and two competing visions of modern masculinity: the wholesome, gentle, helpful Dad energy epitomized by a Tim Walz versus the paternalistic broody and bumbling creepiness of a J.D. Vance and the anachronistic crude leering domination of Trump, who—I am never not going to remind you—has been legally declared a rapist."

"And the election is about gender in another vital way too: the state-sanctioned violence towards trans and non-binary folks, whose right to humane, gender-affirming, and life-saving care, is being attacked and destroyed. A goal which Megyn Kelly went so far as to declare her single issue as a conservative dedicated to reinforcing the gender binary and upholding rising bodily fascism."

"Yes, white women are going to vote for Trump in numbers that will shock the progressive conscience. But some of those who did so in 2016, for better and for worse, have learned something since: that mortgaging your reproductive freedoms for white power is truly a devil’s bargain."

Let's hope that Manne and others who ware saying this turn out to be right about white women — who have disappointed many of more than once in recent elections.

@wdlindsy why would I vote for people who don't see my kids as legitimate people with a right to be who they are and love who they love

@darwinwoodka Why, indeed? As a gay man married to another man, this is a question I ask over and over, especially when I see people I know including family members professing (insincerely) that they love me and people like me and pulling the Republican lever over and over.

Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words.
