I can't really imagine not having sympathy for these women because yeah, Rightists are misogynists but so are Leftists, and they're both self-righteously convinced that this is not so. So, she's got two piles of shit to choose from, the pile of shit on the left or the pile of shit on the right. I'm guessing she went with whichever pile of shit paid her the most... that's what I'd do, that's what any man would do, I'd assume that's what most women would do. In the choice between two devils, you choose the one who offers you something in exchange for your soul, not the one who wants you to give it away for free. Just sayin

I'm going to pretend you don't know what I'm talking about.

I'm saying that for women, choosing between Liberal and far Right is basically like choosing between a guy who openly hates you and a guy who is sort of shitty and sarcastic to you and might secretly hate you.

There is no functional difference to women between the Left (or center-right I guess) and the Right in a lot of cases.

When Leftists talk about women "going against their interests," they fail to see that there is no viable option which protects women's interests, or at least, there is no option which actually protects all of their interests and makes their interests a priority.

Both sides claim to protect women's interests when politically convenient to say so, and it does take some investigation to figure out what they mean when they make such a claim.
