Summary

Trend underlines vast gender divide as election approaches, as experts say some women face pressure to ‘toe the line’ politically at home.

A TikTok trend of women “canceling out” their partners’ votes highlights a gender divide in the 2024 election, with many young women supporting Kamala Harris while their male partners back Trump. Campaigns encourage women, especially those in conservative households, to vote independently, emphasizing privacy through ads featuring voices like Michelle Obama and Liz Cheney. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.

      It brings up the most damning dichotomy. That women would feel the need to hide their vote for Harris, but men don’t feel like they need to hide their vote for Trump. I wonder why that might be.

        Shine the light on this. It’s how you fix their brains. And if that dichotomy isn’t explainable to them. Well you’ve hit the sexist wall.

      It’s more like… “Women are nieve and inherently incapable of making big pictures decisions.” Because histaria or the Bible said so, or something.
