"It is on brand for Trump to bolster his flimsy case for another term as president by comparing his female opponent to excrement and talking about Big Dicks. We are now a nation more divided by gender than race and naked misogyny is on the ballot."

"For years, political pundits — a male-dominated profession — ignored the signs, or outright denied, that it was possible for women to be a bloc & move elections. This year, women very well could decide the outcome. …
Trump’s legacy is to have unchained the drooling junkyard dogs of toxic masculinity. His rise coincided with the success of manosphere god Jordan Peterson & odious accused rapist Andrew Tate."

"Meanwhile, his fanboys include the Silicon Valley pronatalists — revered by younger tech bros — like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. The tech bros are in the process of reducing women to bio-trackable baby-making machines.

"The cruelty is the point, of course. We’re in a severe backlash cycle. Witches and bitches need to pay for recent decades of economic and educational advancement. Abortion bans negatively affect the U.S. economy, with an estimated $68 billion per year in lost earnings and economic activity. But Republicans are doubling down anyway, pandering to a shrinking but still reliable voting bloc."
