"“We’re voting on a lot of things, but among them is that version of leadership and our evaluation of these gendered versions of it,” Dittmar said. “As well as, even more broadly, our sense of the appropriate roles of women, the ways in which women should be treated by our political leaders.”" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/26/masculinity-trump-kamala-harris-us-election

" #Ohio Senate candidate #BernieMoreno went on a diatribe Friday calling concern about #AbortionRights "crazy."
..."It’s a little crazy by the way, but — especially for #women that are like past 50 — I’m thinking to myself, ‘I don’t think that’s an issue for you.'”

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before:

What happened next? Well in L.A. they say
That the Grinch’s small heart grew five sizes that day!

To take off this red hat and go vote for Harris!”
Salutore, salutore, welcome Kamala on this day!
Happy days are here again, the storm clouds have all blown away!

IT'S STUNNING TO ME that *Union* members could possibly be #Undecided between a candidate WHO ACTUALLY WALKED A PICKET LINE WITH UNION MEMBERS and a guy who praised & laughed with #ElonMusk about firing anyone who dare try to organize a #Union. 🤦♂️

Why is restricting reproductive rights an issue for Republican men then?
We want all women to be free to make their own health care decisions. This was a hard won right. We know how previous generations of women suffered. We want qualified obstetricians and gynecologists available in our own communities even though we ourselves are "too old" for some medical services. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/bernie-moreno-ohio-senate-abortion_n_66f22ca3e4b0199dbefaa30b
