"And so women are treated as hate objects, of course, in that discourse, and that discourse has become mainstream and is certainly a key part of the Republican Party today."

(continued from /10) "that the women’s only place is in making babies to replace the race essentially; that they shouldn’t have a voice within the white supremacist community; and that feminism itself is part of the problem and part of the reason why this 'great replacement theory' is working."

"One of the really interesting things in the research that I’ve done on the neo-Nazi community, white supremacist community, is the way that they linked anti-feminism to their neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideals. If you go back to Daily Stormer in 2014, 2015, they’re saying arguments about anti-feminism as being essential to understanding white supremacy;" (continued in /11)

"There’s a really smart researcher on authoritarianism, Karen Stenner, and she had retweeted that—what she said was, Pay attention to how he says the word women. And if you listen to it, it’s really interesting because of so much visceral anger and hatred just dripping off of his tongue as he says the word women. That’s very indicative of Trump’s approach to women in general."

"Despite best practices, despite all of the consultants opinions, Donald Trump is fearlessly being misogynistic. I don’t know if that message is going to convince any women to vote for him, but it certainly will resonate with men."

Brutal New Ad Nukes Trump—With His Own Ugly, Hateful Attacks on Women
As Kamala Harris hits Trump hard over his misogyny, a scholar of political communications explains how Harris is tapping into a level of cultural energy among women we are underestimating.The New Republic
“'It’s really hard to know that there are men out there who want to vote against reproductive rights, even though they shouldn’t have a say in it at all,' Casey, who voted for Harris, said. She doesn’t think she could date someone who doesn’t share her views again. 'As a political science major, I made a decision that I don’t want to put myself in that position.'”

"People are saying this is the Abortion Election. I believe it is the Female Personhood Election. ...

"The media have obsessed over Black people and Latinos turned off by Harris and various other #Demsindisarray narratives. The enthusiasm of women for Harris is a storyline that has been entirely unexplored."

"THE 'GENDER GAP' MATH IS UNDER-APPRECIATED in coverage of the race. More women will likely show up to vote than they did in 2020, and they will be supporting Harris more than they did Biden four years ago. Trump may be making gains with men. But he’s going to have to turn out a lot more of them if he wants to keep up."

"Because what Trump has to offer men is permission to hate women. Those women.
And the terms of that hate are not 'Women are taking away our precious cultural ideas about manhood!'. It’s pretty much 'Women are taking our jobs and our social power, women are doing better at most of what we have done, women are—without any malice or plan—unveiling the many cases where men have risen to the top on nothing more than mediocrity & a pair of testicles.'"
"So many of the feeder streams into Trumpism well up from springs of reaction to changes in the status of women. Dobbs has made it plain that anti-abortion sentiment is primarily about control of women. Its supporters are indifferent to women dying, women risking death, women enduring pregnancy after rape."

MAGA Men Are Freaking Out Over Their Wives Secretly Voting for Harris
Fox News’s Jesse Watters is the latest to have a full-blown meltdown over the possibility of his wife voting for Kamala Harris.The New Republic
"FOX News has been losing their collective minds over the ad [by at Vote Common Good telling women they have a right to vote for whom they choose without their husbands instructing them] — accusing Harris of encouraging women to lie to their spouses and equating the wives who vote for Harris with those who commit adultery."

"In the last two days, you may have noticed a strange uptick in right-wing commentators talking about Harris’s 'attack' on the 'sanctity of marriage.' There’s been a bit of a buzz about conservative white women voting for Harris secretly — breaking with their faith communities and perhaps even their husbands to cast a vote against Donald Trump."

"Donald Trump, mind you, has been found civilly responsible for rape. He has been accused by multiple women of rape (including his ex-wife Ivana), of sexual assault, of groping. He has bragged about grabbing women by the pussy without asking. He has bragged about being the reason Dobbs was overturned. Because he is the reason Dobbs was overturned."

Trump Once Again Excited To Do Things Whether The Woman Likes It Or Not
Sort of a consistent theme with this one, no?Robyn Pennacchia (Wonkette)
"When Donald Trump gets pouty and shouty, his aides have a repertoire of ways to cheer him up, like telling him his crowds are the biggest, showing him flattering headlines from rightwing outlets, or watching videos of children being taken from their parents at the border in 2018. But to really help him feel better, there’s nothing like letting him sit in a big truck like a big boy!"

Obeidallah focuses on what happened recently in Neptune, Florida, where a group of teens waving Trump flags gathered at an early voting site to harrass voters, with one teen, Caleb James Williams, pulling out a machete and brandishing it at two female voters.
And in South Carolina, a man has just verbally assaulted Black women working at the polls.
"This week we have seen two deeply alarming incidents of violence, threats and abuse directed by Donald Trump’s male supporters against women at polling locations. And tragically this will likely not be the last given a core theme of Trump’s “bro vote” strategy has been amplifying sexism and misogyny—as we saw again at his rallies this week."
~ Dean Obeidallah
"Jesse Watters said that he would consider his wife voting for Kamala Harris the same as if she was having an extramarital affair.
The Fox News co-host told panelists on The Five that if he discovered second wife, Emma DiGiovine, was secretly backing the vice president, it would be 'D-Day' for their marriage."

As Sean Craig reports, MAGA bros are freaking out because so many women are voting.
"Two of former president Donald Trump’s most prominent backers in the right wing influencer sphere [Mike Cernovich and Charlie Kirk] fretted Wednesday after early votingnumbers showed massive early turnout among women that could imperil their candidate’s path to victory."

MAGA Bros Are Freaking Out Because So Many Women Are Voting

"More than 60% of evangelical pastors (the vast majority of whom are men) plan to vote for a sexual predator on November 5. Roughly 80% of their congregants tell pollsters they plan to do the same. Religious people, and specifically church-attending men, are casting their ballots so that the Secretary of Education will report to someone who shouldn’t be allowed within 500 feet of a school."

Kristin Du Mez looks at the reluctance of men in evangelical churches to speak out against sexual abuse of vulnerable people by pastors. It's almost always women who speak out about this, she notes. And she then looks at the choice of those same men to vote for a known, convicted sexual predator as president.
She writes,
"I get it. It puts church-going men in an awkward position."

"Charlie [Kirk] is deeply concerned—he said yesterday in an interview with Megyn Kelly—that women may 'undermine their husbands' by letting them think they’re with them, side-by-side, seated comfortably on the Trump train."

"At a rally this evening near Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump said his team had advised him to stop talking about how he was going to protect women by ending crime and making sure they don’t have to be 'thinking about abortion.”'

"The 2024 election is in part about whether women can be free and equal citizens of this republic. Right now too many cannot. …
[MAGA men furious that their wives may vote independently of their control] want marriage to be an inherently unequal relationship with a subordinate wife and an entitled husband, a cozy little authoritarian regime at home."

Stanley also notes that the obsession with declining birthrates — especially among white women — within fascist movements, an obsession Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and JD Vance want to put front and center now, is linked to fascist aspirations. Women need to be put back into "their place" as mothers, and spanked back into place if they refuse.

Jason Stanley (ibid.) sees a direct line between the exploitation of male anxiety about perceived loss of status by aspiring fascist leaders, and their attacks on LGBTQ and especially trans individuals.
