But… but… the mens will get their widdle feelings hurt if they have to take orders from a woman!!! /s
Apparently, though, it’s only American men who are so fucking fragile on that front, that they will literally elect a fascist before a woman, as long as it’s a man… I mean, as you note, women have held positions of power across history. And even in the modern era, plenty of countries have had women as heads of state.
Wait til you learn about Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher!!!
She was not a fascist. The depth of misogyny in the rejection of Clinton. Rather than election a woman some men voted for someone who was even then apparent as a fascist for anyone paying any attention. People can whine about her being a neoliberal (which is not wrong), but at the end of the day, men just believed whatever bullshit the GOP was shoveling down their throats about her, because they are just that scared of competent women. Like it or not, that’s what Clinton is.
You are aware that the party who has been MOST destructive to workers rights WAS and IS the GOP, right? I agree that NAFTA was a huge problem, but that was negotiated by the previous republican administration and Pres. Clinton (note, not Hilary, who was the first lady and not in a position to sign laws), doing the very thing that everyone demanded of the Democrats (but for some FUCKING REASON) never of the GOP, he worked across party lines to get a bill over the finish line. The GOP has always been anti-labor and the fact that you are ignoring that speaks volumes. Was NAFTA the right bill to sign and did it do real damage to labor? Yes. That’s not the fault of the person who was not president, and the Democrats are not the only ones to blame for that, either. I’m really fucking sick of the Democrats being the only party with any agency, when there are two political parties in this country who wield power, and only one of those has been consistently anti-labor for most of the past century.
