I didn't remember that it was about hating women. My experience of it was a certain group of Berie supporters who were super enthusiastic but also pretty toxic about their support for Bernie. I ran into it myself - it was impossible to talk to some of them without getting insulted for honest questions or concerns. And that was with them knowing that I'm pretty far left in my viewpoints. So it often just left a very bad taste in my mouth, which didn't dissuade me from still supporting Bernie (still love him) but I could see how that would polarize a voting base in a moment when you want to unite it.
It wasn't, there was just a sizeable segment of 4-chan types who liked Bernie and the left, being unable to rally together for anything, broadly attacked these dudes for existing and not adoring Hilary Clinton who was, in case you all missed it, a woman.
I'm sure there were some performative loud voices from assholes trying to poison the well, but our side hasn't learned to ignore this shit, and never will. Leftists are as easily manipulated as MAGA but in different ways, ya'll just haven't figured it out yet.
Nobody is immune to propaganda. Something we must all remind ourselves.
That was the origin. Hilary smeared anyone who didn’t support her as misogynistic. She did it with “Obama boys” during her primary with Obama. Replayed the same tactic in 2016. With similar success.
Naw. There was absolutely without a doubt a non-trivial portion of "the left" that absolutely shit on men because they "couldn't vote for a woman".
Wait was that woman by any chance Hillary Clinton? It couldn't possibly be that she is one of the least likable women on the planet, it must be sexists who hate all women, or else they would have pokemon gone to the polls?
Don't be sexist. You just hate strong women.
I literally can’t tell if this is sarcasm.
I upvoted because I think it is
"/s" exists for this. Considering their previous comment, I fully believe they were speaking in earnest.
Lol you think your radar for strong women is strong and you think Hillary Clinton is strong?
LOL.
