Hillary Clinton says misogyny played a role in her loss. Research suggests she might be right.

32. That's an understatement! It fucking exists.

I took a Rutgers-Eagleton Woman and Politics course, and misogyny is rampant.

Trump took a majority of Evangelicals, moreso than the past 5 presidential election cycles. Unlike Obama, who fostered an early and strong outreach to the 43 Million Evangelicals, HRC refused to return calls from various Evangelical magazines and newspapers, and refused contact with various Evangelical leaders. Even so, this does not explain Trump's higher-than-normal vote totals.


While the Christian Right talks a game (not a good one) about having women leaders, the truth is, there is deep-seated resentment to women in power. The following link has enormous information on this topic, as the country's sole university research facility that specializes in Women and Politics.

Spend a day there and you will be surprised at what you find.


(Note: Now I know I'll get jumped on for mentioning HRC's weak Evangelical outreach program, which was started late in the game, but that's the facts. Search online, because there is a Christian Left that expressed grave concerns that she ignored them. Many of those areas are where the Dems underperformed this past cycle, especially in PA. Her “The unborn person doesn ’t have constitutional rights." comment hurt her. Christianity Today repeatedly reached out to her and was rebuffed. Ruth Graham (Slate Magazine) has a powerful article. Michael Wear, Obama’s 2012 Faith Outreach Director said, "simple difference between Obama 's two presidential campaigns and Clinton's 2016 campaign is that Obama asked for the votes of white evangelicals and Clinton did not." Liberal Evangelical leader, Ron Sider a Democrat and the founder of Evangelicals for Social Action said, "I find it dumhfounding and incredibly stupid that the Democratic Party and her campaign didn 't reach out to try to engage a segment of the white evangelical community. Apparently they thought they could win without us." There's a bunch more. )
