You want to support Trump as a female, fine. But then you are forfeiting the right to play the feminist card. You are fair game for being mocked for your appearance, the way you dress, your tone of voice, and being mansplained to. As well as having your qualifications belittled and dismissed as unserious or the product of DEI.
Supporting Trump is repudiation of feminism, so if you are female and you choose to do that, you are fair game.

Any "card" simply means allegience with any group, play it or not.

(69,643 posts)Number one, feminism isn't a "card" to be played. It's the belief that women deserve to be treated with dignity equal to men. So stating that it's some kind of special "card" is already an anti-feminist move.
Second, no matter how loathsome a person is, it's never an excuse for us to suddenly act in a bigoted way. We can certainly point out their hypocrisy, but using their behavior as an excuse to engage in or cheer on equally loathsome behavior is not a win.
So, no.
Thank you
Reacting to bigotry and prejudice is never a "game"

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
