Republicans have always hated women

[Hugh_Lebowski]

23. I believe it, and firmly believe the female is the essence of any species, and males an offshoot

created by nature for biological diversity through the sexual reproduction process. Without the survival advantage conferred by meiosis over mitosis, there's no reason for 'males' of any kind

That said ... these men you describe, for the most part ... they almost always actually want to be led by other men. They may get into a relationship with a more dominant female due to these traits, but at the same time they're probably 'cheating' with Fox, Infowars, Rush (back in the day), etc.

This is why there's such an allure with Trump, Hitler, Stalin and their ilk. Submissive MEN really want MEN to tell them what to do.

I'm not saying women don't do a similar gather-round with powerful women, they do. But it's different.

Women can be led to charismatic male political leaders, but men ... almost never are in reverse.

That's enough to shift the overall balance of power, IMHO.
