I know a lot of women who didn’t vote for her because she was a woman. Shit is crazy to me, but that doesn’t mean it’s not the reality. I’m sure there are a shocking number of people who didn’t vote for her because she’s a woman.
Yeah, conservative women are a really odd breed. I live in the Deep South, which means I get to actually interact with all of the hardline conservatives on a regular basis. I have 100% heard the “I just think a woman’s place is to follow her husband” rhetoric from women.
I know the party is willing to hold back all women on the off chance that they are successful at holding back one progressive woman. That’s all this is about. Hatred for progressives and the people they stand for.
I highly doubt that the number of people who claim the fact that she’s a woman is the reason they didn’t vote for her is anywhere near high enough to swing the election. Even if it were, those people are not worth conceding to. There are far more people for whom her gender is irrelevant but did not vote for her due to a myriad of other reasons than there are brain-dead morons who think women just aren’t cut out to be president.
Two things can be true.

Those will vote Republican anyway…

As a person who has a lived experience as a woman in this country I wholeheartedly disagree.
When do you think it’ll be safe to nominate a woman?
