Demeaning Women

There was a time when some men seem to assume that women were poor helpless creatures. I find it hard to believe anyone still thinks that way today. Sadly, some do. We are hearing women making this assumption about other women. Hillary Clinton talked about women who voted Republican because they are afraid to stand up to the men in her life.

The latest proponent of this idea is a woman named Michelle Ruiz. Her aim was on white women. She complained about them voting Republican. She accused them of voting against their interest. Evidently the only thing women should be interested in is free contraceptives and easy access to abortion.

She had several interesting theories. One was that they don’t care about anyone else because of their white privilege. She thought that they may be doing whatever their husbands do. My favorite is that they were brainwashed by Fox News.

Presumably Democrats want to retake the White House in two years. That means they need to attract more voters. Insulting them is a strange way to go about it.
