Pro-Kavanaugh women fed up with 'gender traitors' label: 'They'll see us at the polls'
The Washington Times ^ | October 10, 2018 | Valerie Richardson

Women who supported the confirmation of Supreme CourtJustice Brett M. Kavanaugh have been reamed on the left as brainwashed, shameful, privilege-defending gender traitors, and it’s starting to annoy them.

Anti-Kavanaugh activists saved their most virulent post-confirmation screeds for women who refused to condemn Justice Kavanaugh — especially the white ones — another indication of the resistance’s growing irritation with centrist and conservative women putting due process over feminist solidarity.

“I find the idea that ‘as a woman’ I must think a certain way extremely patronizing,” said Allie Stuckey, host of CRTV’s “Relatable.” “If these so-called feminists really believed in female empowerment, they’d be encouraging women to think with their brains rather than their anatomy.”

Rants against “white women,” “stupid Stepford wives,” “gender traitors,” and “brainwashed women” erupted on social media after the confirmation, as well as references to the 53 percent, the oft-cited percentage of white U.S. women who voted for President Trump.

To Ms. Stuckey, the barrage looks a lot like bullying. “People don’t like to be bullied for their beliefs by people who claim that our gender, socioeconomic status, race, etc., must determine our opinions,” she said.

The intragender tangling hit the mainstream with a weekend op-ed in the New York Times by public-relations consultant Alexis Grenell headlined, “White Women, Come Get Your People,” which unloaded on Justice Kavanaugh’s female supporters.

“These women are gender traitors, to borrow a term from the dystopian TV series ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’” said Ms. Grenell in the article. “They’ve made standing by the patriarchy a full-time job.”

The broadside drew a mix of disbelief, outrage and chortling on the right. “I always love being a traitor to my gender,” quipped right-of-center activist Laura Carno, who heads I Am Created Equal.

The ultimate in the Left’s hierarchy of hate is: White, straight, Christian Southern men.

What where I’m from everybody would call normal guys.

The above graph is wrong. The Crazy Axis is unbounded, and the No Go zone bends over to the right, eventually hitting "10" on the Hot Axis. The bend starts at Crazy = 9. Some of these wymyns are so severely nuts that their "hotness" no longer matters.

It’s not about looks.

It’s about whether or not you’ve got a mad-on for men. Man-haters can be well-dressed, well-coiffed, well-spoken. And still be man-haters.

My bet is that these women, all of ‘em, just hate guys.

What I don’t know is what came first: Do they hate guys cuz they can’t get/keep one, or can’t they get/keep one cuz they hate them.

Exactly. I don’t expect this will change anytime soon.

I’m sorry I sent the link twice. I wasn’t paying attention.

All things considered, the Dems are in trouble.
