What makes me both sad and angry is that the misogynistic onslaught is widening the gender gap yet again, eroding trust and trying (again) to replace it with control. It’s bad for everyone involved. There’s - at least - a 2000 year track record of untrustworthy male behavior, and when we’re finally making some small progress we get this idiotic backlash. Even from a purely selfish and juvenile desire to get laid frequently, having women feel safe combined with some rudimentary trustworthy behavior is going to have a much higher payoff than control ever will. Talk about voting (and acting) against your own self interest.
