(53,016 posts)But I see a lot of people, men and women alike, with a great deal of antipathy toward the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton in particular, but also the President. I also notice that some of these same posters are very hostile to discussions of equality and inclusively. Given their particular hostility toward feminists and equal opportunity, I wouldn't be surprised if they refuse to vote for Clinton should she be the nominee. In fact some have already announced they will not. Certainly they will argue it is about Clinton in particular, just as they like to pretend that Barack Obama is the first Democratic President to ever be swayed by financial interests. They also attack Clinton and praise Joe Biden within the same sentence, even though both voted for the war. I find it difficult to believe that people with so much animosity toward women would vote for a female President, but as I said, I don't think their numbers are large enough to swing an election.
