(2,651 posts)Eight years ago, I think you may have been right.
A lot has happened in eight years.
* The dismantling of Roe vs. Wade and the subsequent attempts to control ALL reproductive rights.
* Four years of Trump and the showcasing of male toxic culture,
* The presence of two extremely narcissistic, misogynist sociopaths on the GOP ticket this time around,
* Project 2025, and its implications for women especially
* The growing influence of Tech Bro culture, especially against women
* The waning influence of evangelicals (and a growing anti-Mammon movement)
* Climate has become more extreme, which I believe women are more concerned about than men
I think that one woman at the head of the ticket is going to be too much for some people, but these aren't the people who would be voting Democratic anyway. I don't see two women on the ticket making that much difference in comparison.
