It just occurred to me why women still proudly support TFG and wear his apparel...

It gives them access to 10's of thousands of men that logical, intelligent women wouldn't date for any amount of money.

Reeks of desperation.

I've known seemingly intelligent women who say "a woman can't be president."

One friend in particular was the property manager at my previous residence. She was a southern belle type in her manner and attitudes. She was a take-charge, ultra-competent, and efficient administrator. I admired her work ethic and effectiveness. When she said that to me, my jaw dropped because I'd have thought she'd make a great president.

She has a cadre of female friends who felt the same way.

Some women ruin it for the rest of them -- for the rest of all of us. We need more female leaders.

(My wife was CEO of a 20-person company she created.)

A dating website promising to match pro-Trump supporters has removed the main photograph from its homepage after local media identified one of the people portrayed in the image as a North Carolina conservative activist who has a child sex conviction.

And since the 60's, backwards-thinking men have reacted angrily and sometimes violently to the idea of equality.

Unfortunately, retrograde thought reinforced by many religions.

I am sure that all here on DU believe in and fight for equality, as do most outside DU. It's just that a little negativity and character assassination go a long way in politics, in its "personality politics" phase that we are currently in. That's where clickbait media make things worse by burying important issues behind lies and sensationalism.

How do you know that they're losing? When they say "Get over it". Then you know they are hurting, so redouble the fight.

I am reminded of the movie "Gettysburg" (1993) in which Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (Jeff Daniels) and his men control the heights, but are badly outnumbered and low on ammunition. Nearly out of ammunition, they charge downhill with fixed bayonets.

We've got them on the run. Fix GOTV bayonets (ballots, not bullets) and hit them with their Project 2025 retrograde, troglodyte, misogynistic, racist (and more) bullshit.

We can't GET OVER IT.
We can't GO BACK.

TOGETHER, we will win, inspired by Presidents Obama, Biden and their Democratic predecessors. I am especially inspired by President Biden, who set the stage and opened the door for our first female president.

Who goes around with a guy who rides a motorcycle with a sticker that says "My other toy has tits" and she feels so wanted and desired...at last. I saw one woman with a shirt that said "Owned by" with a man's name on it.

Oh, and they won't ride their own bikes - they're just luggage on the back of the ape's bike. I see them all the time out in the boonies.
