The GOP is pro-choice, it would seem, just not for women.
It’s a gender election. It really is.
Men who haven’t figured out how to define themselves outside the sphere of a woman’s involvement, are trying to push back to a time where they no longer have to do just that. Like it’s an entitlement. Like we’re horses that should be properly stabled, by them.
Look at the toxic weirdness of the Trump ticket. It’s not necessarily Republican, but it is MAGA.
Enter Heritage foundation.
And yes. Abortion bans do mean rapists are making these decisions because Trump has empowered them to do so. That’s what the laws mean, though people aren’t stating it in this way often enough.
That it ended up being a career woman like Kamala on the other side of the ticket just emphasizes the MAGA drive to force masculinity into a very toxic place going forward.
Is it tho? About 40% of GOP voters are women. Sure it's not 50%, but still much larger percentage than you'd think if it was a "war of the sexes" thing
I wouldn't say that it's a vote split down gender lines, but we do seem to be deciding if we want to keep trying to achieve gender equality or go full throttle on toxic patriarchy
sure, agreed
