All I am doing is pushing back on male hegemony. I don't think men need to be protected, they still run the world. But the women need to know they are every bit as smart as the men and maybe a bit smarter. But I do think it will be the women that save the Democratic party, the nation and indeed the planet, not the men. And demographics say the same thing. Women are by nature less violent and that is what the world needs, has always needed. How about women are smarter when it comes to politics, and humanity because the statistics sure say that, in spades.The non college women today even like Trump less than the college educated men. To me that says a lot; and there is only a fraction of women, in prison, as men, and that is mostly for drugs, not violent crimes. And the women, when they got a good look at Trump reversed themselves by 33 points and it spawned the Blue wave. Today they prefer the Democrats by 2 to 1 while the males still prefer Trump and the Republicans. And 79% of Republicans still support Trump. What does that say about Republicans? Republicans were crazy to denigrate women, minorities and indeed the kids and that will end their majority for generations, thank god! For eternity the males have denigrated and abused the females terribly. Still do around the world, but the women are fighting back now and I for one am happy about it. As my son in law said:" The males have had their chance running the world and really fucked things up, lets let the women have a shot at it. The reason the males would not let them vote until 1919 was because they were thought to be too dumb and they were treated like chattel around the world. The women aided by liberal males had to fight and were tortured to get the vote. Think about what that did to young girls self image. Ask any woman how hard it was being a female. Things were so hard for women until very recently. Women had a very hard time with their self image and indeed because of males their very survival until the last few decades. Just pointing out the facts. <, As I keep saying, over and over, the females of our species are not only smarter than the males, but apparently more decent and we can see that in the polls reported today on "Morning Joe"!!! Engaging in this kind of thinking is the same logic that leads people to believe blacks men are inferior or criminals. Or in the past, that God and/or evoltion intended women to make babies and stay home. Humans are born diverse, and like skin color or height -- gender is not causal to intelligence. Significant correlations depend on how you measure intelligence, which is inherently biased. It is not inclined to be quantitative like weight or velocity (now that I think about it, are relative and also could be debated on bias.)

If you knew how hard and long I have fought for minorities and females you would never suggest I discriminate. And I never sold out or crossed the line, and as mentioned I even refused to cut any of my racist clan any slack. As child I was one of the few boys who played with the girls. That is how sexist people were when I was young. Nor would I allow anyone to denigrate any woman, minority, or gay person for that matter. I understood at a very young age how terrible discrimination is. Females have had a very hard time and even today still suffer from the affects of misogyny. And I am proud and thankful for women, minorities and the LGBT community stepping up to the plate to save this country and probably the human species.
