What's most upsetting to me about overturning Roe v Wade is that white women did this.

[catbyte]

In 2016, 47% of white women voted for that orange asshole and now we have the full horror visited upon us. Thanks for NOTHING. I hope they're happy.

I'm old enough to sort of remember the days before Roe v Wade and we're about to re-enter a very dark chapter. Young women have no idea. Well, they're about to find out now. What a goddamned tragedy.

I wonder who's next.

[Irish_Dem]

1. We know who is next.

POC and LGBT.

Yes young people have no idea how their lives will change dramatically.

[Cosmocat]

41. Yep - birth control, civil rights, SS, forced loyalty, forced religious ...

Its going to get ugly...

[beaglelover]

2. And I'm sure some of those white women have had an abortion in their past......

Looking at you, my Mother and 2 sisters who had abortions and voted for tRump.

[Ilsa]

4. hypocrites, all of them. They voted for trump who likely

forced abortions on those women.

[KarenS]

26. some of that in the women in my family,,,,,

what-the-fuck-ever.

120. We forget that many white women are die-hard racists also.

Check out some of the historical photos of lynchings and desegregation protests.

[notinkansas]

3. Who's next?

Good question. This will not likely be the end of judicial malfeasance.

[gldstwmn]

5. I'm willing to bet a lot of them never had to choose.

They have no idea what the reality of the situation is.

[msongs]

6. one suspects there are huge numbers of not white women who are fine with this decision nt

[spooky3]

7. That 55% number is NOT correct. It is based on unreliable

Exit poll self reports, and I believe that’s only white women without a college degree.

A follow up study by Pew, using verified vote data, showed that fewer than half of white women voted for Trump in 2016.

If we want to blame his election on any one demographic group, the statistics show that white MEN voted most strongly for him in 2016.

I really wish this meme would die out.

[catbyte]

10. Thank you. I fixed the percentages but the result was the same. Too many women supported that thing

Here in Michigan, white women without a college degree went for that thing by a margin of 2-1 which was more than enough to take Michigan. Clinton lost by 10.3K votes.

[spooky3]

12. It's a perfect example of why GQP wants to undermine public education. Nt

[snowybirdie]

13. Thank you

Tired of some blaming white women. Well I and most of my white women friends all voted for Hillary. Try harder to place blame please. Maybe a lot of white men who failed to go to the polls and vote!

[inthewind21]

66. And here lies the problem with this thinking

"Well I and most of my white women friends all voted for Hillary" You and most of your friends is NOT a representation of the whole.

[RobinA]

118. Right Back At You

And neither are the white women who voted for Repubs. There is no "white women" monolith.

I'd like to share it every time someone on twitter says white women elected Trump.

[muriel_volestrangler]

30. I don't know, but the survey result was close to the election result overall

The resulting sample of verified voters mirrored the election results very closely. After the
validation was done and the sample was limited to those for whom a turnout record could be
located, 48% reported voting for Hillary Clinton and 45% for Donald Trump; by comparison the
official national vote tally was 48% for Clinton, 46% for Trump.

I wish we had an economic breakdown of the women -- that would be interesting, too.

[muriel_volestrangler]

29. From the appendix, we can break down the white women vote by age group and education, a bit

but not economic (economic is done by household, not individual)

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2018/08/8-9-2018-Validated-voters-release-with-10-2-19-and-10-17-18-corrections.pdf

Age 18-49 white women: 55% Clinton, 33% Trump
Age 50+: 39% Clinton, 56% Trump
White College grad+ women: 61% Clinton, 35% Trump
White Non-college grad women: 33% Clinton, 56% Trump

FWIW, by family income (ie men or women reporting):
White $75k+: 39% Clinton, 55% Trump
White $30k-$75k: 37% Clinton, 58% Trump
White less than $30k: 44% Clinton, 43% Trump

it's the fault of the kochs and other billionaires.

and many more.

It's the fault of those who are lead by their nose and don't think for themselves. We all know about the electoral college and how it works. It's civics 101. Or we SHOULD know. If we don't, it's no ones fault but our own, the citizens of the US. The republicans are a LOT of things, but they don't have us all in chains controlling what we think or what information we seek. YET. Unless we allow it. This fiasco belongs squarely in the laps of the American citizen. It's been no secret the R's ultimate goal was to overturn Roe, they have been harping about it for decades. It's been no secret they intended to control the SC, they've been harping about it for decades. Well, here we are. They played the long game and they won. It was ignored and now everyone is hair on fire. Should come as NO surprise to ANYONE. The warnings were there and in your face. And clearly ignored.

"They played the long game and they won."

They cheated...at almost every turn, but you're right, they have always been very vocal about what they wanted.

[electron_blue]

9. Yes, white women are not on our side but the 55% number is wrong

The 53-55% number that is widely circulated is only the preliminary results. The final percentage was closer to 47%. YEs, still way too many white women voting for Trump but it wasn't the majority and it doesn't help matter to make it look bigger than it was. here's one reference, but there are others.

https://time.com/5422644/trump-white-women-2016/

[iemanja]

36. 2 points is likely within the margin of error

And there is no reason to believe that poll is any more accurate than the rest of the polls in 2016. But hey, if it absolves white men (who voted OVERWHELMINGLY for Trump) of responsibility, point the figure at white women. As long as white men maintain their god given superiority.

Men blaming women for the loss of their own rights is about the most disgusting thing I have seen on this site.

[Kaleva]

49. It's a fact that a majority of white males and a plurality of white females voted for Trump

And I posted a link to a study and not a poll.

It's not a surprise that a majority of white males voted for TFG. It is disconcerting that a plurality of white females would vote for TFG given what was at stake for all women.

[iemanja]

54. The study is based on exit polls

Obviously. There is no other basis for them to make those claims. It's still a poll, but it serves the purpose of kicking women when they are at their lowest.

[Meowmee]

15. I didn't realize it had been overturned

...along with the Church Militant members, I guess, but they don't amount to much outside of Ferndale, MI. The reality is that there are a lot of different kinds of "Catholics". They are not monolithic. Still, your point is well taken--the "progressive" or "left" Catholics, whatever you want to call them--have to do a better job of speaking up. The reactionaries in the Church have not seen any pushback for decades.

Those early statistics are estimates, and always wrong.
https://time.com/5422644/trump-white-women-2016/

But keep it up. Men bear no responsibility for electing Trump despite the fact they overwhelmingly voted for him. Like everything else in the world, this is all women's fault. Men love nothing more than to blame women.

[inthewind21]

72. Just stop

And clearly there are some women who like to play the victim and blame everyone but WOMEN. Women out number men in this country. Get over your blaming men for EVERYTHING. Doing that is EXACTLY why me too died a swift silent death.

73. WTF?

We just had our equal rights stripped away. Did you miss that part?

[Demsrule86]

25. That is simply not true.

[iemanja]

31. Why is it that women are always at fault?

We're at fault if we get pregnant. We're at fault if we get an abortion. And now we are supposedly responsible for stripping away our own rights. This story is as old as Adam and Eve, and I'm fucking sick of it.

Put the blame where it belongs: On Republican misogynists.
People love nothing more than to scapegoat women.

There isn't a white woman on this site who voted for Trump. Just what we need today is someone shitting all over us. It's not bad enough that our equal rights are about to be stripped away. You have to blame women. Never mind that an overwhelming majority of white men voted for Trump. It's all women's fault, as usual.

Much like folks who vote Republican when they actually suffer from Repug policies and would benefit greatly from Democratic policy instead.

Yeah I don’t get it either.

37. Please stop erasing the millions of women who voted Clinton and for Biden

Men are in control of our country and have been since the beginning. Patriarchy knows how to divide and conquer.

Where did the male vote go in 2016 and 2020. in what great numbers did they vote for Clinton and for Biden?

What about the so called progressive men and women who who openly opposed the woman who was proud to say her aim in presidential politics was equality for women and girls, who was not ashamed to say that women’s rights on human rights.

You can claim that women did not work hard enough or that we did not fully recognize the enemies arrayed against us but to butto blame us or erase our massive voting can only help the ongoing oppression of patriarchal governance.

[Cosmocat]

44. White women have been the deciding factor in fully flipping

The balance of power to Rs.

Not "blaming" women.

It's a simple statement of fact.

[delisen]

47. Just as true to say that men have been the deciding factor or people in certain states.

If a certain additional percentage of women who voted for Trump voted for Clinton instead, she would have become president.

If a certain additional percentage of men who voted for Trump voted for Clinton instead, she would have become president

If a certain number of other group-identified voters had voted for Clinton whether Latino or others had voted for Clinton…….

How about Jill Stein voters? How about disaffected non-voters?


Calling out white woman and ignoring the responsibility of male voter is totally sexist. Men for example gat a pass for voting for Trump.

I and my daughters do not have equal rights. Men are the deciding factor in that.

Blaming woman for male attacks upon our human rights is the markopeople afraid to go against patriarchal social structure.

[Cosmocat]

51. No it isn't "sexist"

Saying that white women are the deciding factor in the Rs current surge again is a simple statement of fact.

White men have always been the core of their base. The recent development that has led to their ability to be in the position to make a major push is an increase in support from white women.

It isn't blaming "women," it isnt excusing men or whatever you want to try to take offense to. It's recognizing the current dynamic.

If it makes you feel any better black women remain the most common sense voting block, btw. You can discern the most problematic variable from here ...

[delisen]

53. Not a matter of my taking offense or of my feelings

It does not matter whether white men have always been the core of their base. It does not matter if white men have a history of voting overwhelmingly for purple cobra. When one excuses white men from voting in a manner one considers enlightened and accuses a group of women or blame them as being a deciding factor , that is sexism.

People often identify with power . We live in a powerful patriarchy built upon false premises of tin ate inequality. Millions of men have rejected those false premises, if not too many more followed their lead we will be on equality’s doorstep. Fighting inequality by claiming a group of women are to blame while giving men just maintains the patriarchy that is crushing us.

I would take too much time here to go into the role of the subset of men and women who voted for Putin’s candidate, Jill Stein and were a factor in critical states ( sadly these were often people who were well educated and surely should have known better).


Black women have been outstanding leaders in the fight for equality. Black women are a small percentage of the voting age population and therefore we need the votes of others to achieve equality

Those who verbally claim to be pro-equality but work to maintain patriarchy know this. ..and we all know that unequal societies such as patriarchies are able to maintain themselves through the technique of divide and conquer..

[inthewind21]

76. Ever wonder

Why "Me Too" was just a flash in the pan and fizzled rapidly?

[iemanja]

55. Swing states have been the factor

Voter turnout has been the factor. Independent voters have been the factor. Russian interference was a factor. James Comey was a factor. But point to none of that. Blame women, which is exactly what that argument does. It's blaming us just when our rights are being stripped away. And, of course, men never bear responsibility for their own votes. The fact they ALWAYS vote fascist isn't their fault; it's women's.

[inthewind21]

75. No one is erasing

anything. Men are in control because women allow it. It's just that simple. Women outnumber men in the population. They have the power of numbers, so do tell, why don't they use it? And for the record, I am a woman.

someone was not blaming Bernie and not trying to divide the party. That don't make me sexist.

[Emile]

86. You don't know me!

I was fighting for women's rights back in the 70s and 80's as a chief steward in AFLCIO Local 1470. We fought and won equal pay for women in our workplace. The company didn't think women could work in certain departments because of the physical labor. We fought and won that one in arbitration. I'm am far from perfect, but the last thing I am is a sexist pig and for anyone to even pretend that's what I am, when in fact I'm not, is hurtful.

[iemanja]

90. Where did I call you a sexist pig?

I didn't.

I was made to feel like I was though and that's hurtful.

[leftyladyfrommo]

52. I was in college in Utah in the "60s. People still

got pregnant and still got abortions. People just went to Oregon or Mexico. Abortions were not terribly expensive.

My experience has been that people just find ways to get around stupid laws.

[Vinca]

59. I don't think we should start talking race or gender on this one. The problem started with

Mitch McConnell blocking a SCOTUS nominee by Obama. Another problem no one talks about is RBG in failing health and hanging on until it was too late to replace her with another sane person. I think the biggest factor is people not taking the threat seriously. They can't seem to take their eyes off their cell phones long enough to vote for the candidate who might actually help them. Or they insist on a candidate they agree with 100% but cannot possibly win the general election. It seems we're a very shallow society and being a loudmouth, grifting, reality show star ends up counting for more than a candidate like Hillary Clinton who would have changed the course of history for the better.

[Ms. Toad]

63. Which means that 53% did not.

Not to mention that Trump garnered 46.1% of the vote - and the 47% who voted for Trump is an estimate. So it looks to me like white women voted for Trump in just about the same as the rest of the country.

Is it too many? Absolutely! Even one vote for Trump is too many.

But stop blaming a group (1) from which a majority voted against Trump and (2) voted pretty much the sane way the rest of the country did.

[iemanja]

65. How many white women on this site voted for Trump?

Are you alleging we all did? Did 47% of us do so? Do you think some did? Can you provide names? If not, why have you chosen to unload on us, at this time when we have learned our rights are being stripped away?

Your entire assumption is based on exit polls, which you first misrepresented badly in order to vent your anger. The pre-election polls were badly wrong for the 2016 election. Why do you assume the exit polls are correct? And why is it so important for you to bash white women on DU, who did not vote for Trump?

I would appreciate a response to this or my other post. So far you're interacted with the slaps on the black you've gotten from men. Why is that? Why are intent on absolving men while dumping your anger on women who voted for Clinton?
You could have posted this on a discussion board for Republicans, but you choose to admonish white women Democrats. Why exactly is that?

I would submit there is something disturbing about blaming women for our own subjugation. We are women after all, even when we are white. We are about to have our reproductive rights stripped away, along with yours: not 55% of us, not 47% of us, but all of us.

[BlackSkimmer]

[yardwork]

82. Didn't white men vote for Trump in even greater percents?

I don't understand this OP.

[catbyte]

83. The point of the OP is that women enabled this. I don't understand how 67% of women favor

abortion rights while 47% of women voted for the creep who promised to eliminate those rights.

[yardwork]

84. A majority of women voted against Trump, while a majority of men voted for him,

Women, as a group, voted against Trump. Even a majority of white women voted against Trump.

[Emile]

87. A study by Pew Research Center

published in August by the Pew Research Center, the percentage of white women who voted for Trump was actually 47%, compared to 45% for Clinton. That’s still a plurality, and still makes white women more Trump-positive than the overall electorate, which supported Clinton by a 48%-46% margin.

https://time.com/5422644/trump-white-women-2016/

[yardwork]

88. Yes, white people supported Trump, but a higher percent of white men supported him.

No question, it was the support of white people that elected Trump. But why single out white WOMEN when a much greater percent of white MEN supported Trump?

The OP makes no sense to me.

[Emile]

89. Still a plurality of white women voted for Trump.

The OP is correct!

[iemanja]

92. While a super majority of White Men voted for Trump

Yet the overturning of Roe is the fault of white women, not men. That's rich. And not just white women. White women on this site, women who voted for Clinton.

[Emile]

95. I can't speak for the OP. Trump won because

white men voted in the plurality for him and I totally agree. The plurality of white women did too and I think that's what upsets the OP?

[iemanja]

97. It was 62%

Of white men and 52% of all men. That according to the same PEW survey that says 47% of white women voted for Trump. That is not a plurality, and you know it. White men always vote for Republicans in LARGE majorities. In fact, Republicans couldn't stand a chance electorally if not for men. I'm not talking about the OP. She has chosen not to answer me directly. I'm talking to you, and here you are misrepresenting the numbers of white men who voted for Trump.

[Emile]

99. Listen I'm just as pissed at the white men for voting for Trump as the

OP is at white women. I never did misrepresent the numbers of white men and I don't know why you think that. I don't know why this thread has you so upset.

[iemanja]

103. You said a plurality of white men voted for Trump

Last edited Wed May 4, 2022, 08:51 PM - Edit history (1)

That is blatantly wrong. 62% is a considerable majority. You also claimed that white women supported Trump in numbers greater than the overall electorate, which you said voted 48% for Trump. That's one point more than the 47% of white women that Pew says voted for Trump. That's 1 point less than the overall electorate, not more.

Additionally, the Pew study is based on exit poll data. The polls prior to the election were wildly off. Why is everyone assuming that exit polls were more accurate?

What I don't like is that some people are taking this as an opportunity to chastise white women on DU, who supported Clinton--probably a majority of us supported Clinton in the primary as well. Meanwhile, a certain, smallish percentage of self-identified Democrats or leftists, most of whom were white men, refused to vote for Clinton. They argued that SCOTUS wasn't a reason to vote for Clinton. They spread Russian propaganda about Clinton, all because they were angry that Democrats had the nerve to prefer her to their own chosen candidate. Yet none of them take responsibility for this or anything else that Trump wrought. Instead, they blame white women.

[Emile]

105. Which post# did I say all this? LOL

108. Here

Trump won because

white men voted in the plurality for him and I totally agree

The part about the 48 vs 47 was my mistake, as I said in another post.

I am curious about your views on those few Bernie supporters who refused to vote for Clinton and/or trashed her well past the primary. Do you agree that they played a role in Clinton's defeat?

[Emile]

110. They ALL played a roll. Even the white women that

voted for Trump, do you agree too?

[iemanja]

111. If Pew is correct

47% of white women did, and none of them are on this site.

[Emile]

112. What are you saying? We know no one on this site voted for Trump!

Are you saying the majority of white women helped in the election of Trump?

[iemanja]

113. What are you talking about?

There was nothing unclear about my post.

[Emile]

114. Then answer my question yes or no!

[iemanja]

115. No

47% of white women who actually voted is not a majority. A majority is 51% or greater. How is it that has to be explained to you?

[Emile]

116. Wow not judgmental at all.

47% of White Women voted for Trump
45% of White Women voted for Hillary

So 2% more White Women voter for Trump. We're talking about a lot of votes!

[yardwork]

117. And what about the 62% of white men who voted for Trump?

That's a hell of a lot of votes.

I still don't have an answer to my question to the OP about why it's so effing important to attack the plurality of white women who supported Trump while ignoring the majority of white men who voted for him.

The OP's wording makes it sound like Trump won because of white women's support. In fact, if only women voted in 2016 Trump would have lost.

There's a much more radical OP that could be made from that fact.

[Emile]

122. Trump couldn't of won if those 2% of white females

that voted for Trump voted for Hillary. That's just another fact with the other one you gave, but I also have told you and your friend that I agreed with it too.

47% is not more than 48%.

101. Take it up with the Pew Research.

104. Pew doesn't say 47 is more than 48

You do.

106. Where did I say 48?

87. A study by Pew Research Center
published in August by the Pew Research Center, the percentage of white women who voted for Trump was actually 47%, compared to 45% for Clinton. That’s still a plurality, and still makes white women more Trump-positive than the overall electorate, which supported Clinton by a 48%-46% margin.

107. My mistake

I misread (or rather had a brain fart) that the electorate went for Trump 48-46. It was the other way around. I apologize for that.

100. White men are going to vote for their interest and that lies in the GZP, I don't see why white women

... would vote for GZP after all their anti women bullshit.

109. Couldn't you change the title.

White women HELPED to do this.

They certainly didn't do it alone. A small, powerful minority of white MEN made this happen, and there were some white women who helped.

126. How about we stop blaming women for the patriarchy and women's oppression?

How about THAT.
