Self-proclaimed #misogynist and #extremist #farright #influencer #AndrewTate used a #homophobic #slur to attack the #Māori #haka.

“The haka is a #sacred Māori #tradition. Mocking it shows a #lack of #respect for its deep #cultural #meaning as a #symbol of #unity, #pride, and #strength”

It's because Democratic voters didn't show up.

It's because white people as a whole are still misogynoirist.

It's because the Democratic Party has shifted farther and farther right over the decades, edging ever away from helping *all* of us get what we need.

It's because the human species is still an infant: we feel and fear the #Lack, and we latch onto anything and anyone promising to "fix it." We clamor for that "fix" like sinners for a savior.

Many things can be true at the same time.

Republican vice presidential nominee JD #Vance really does love to run his mouth on podcasts.

The latest unearthed audio has him agreeing with a conservative podcast host on what women are for once we hit #menopause:
Helping to raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”
The whole purpose.

Vance has opinions about many different kinds of women.

Those who don’t have kids are “#childless #cat #ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too”
and #lack “a direct stake in the future of the country.”

Women who care about their #work and plan their families are #suckers:
“If your worldview tells you that it’s bad for women to become mothers but liberating for them to work 90 hours a week in a cubicle at the New York Times or Goldman Sachs, you’ve been had,”
he tweeted after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

#Step mothers (and step parents generally), he has suggested, are not real parents.

We have not yet heard his views on the purpose of pre-pubescent girls, but he has said that he believes even #raped and impregnated children should be forced to give birth,
even though their circumstances are “#inconvenient”
— and Ohio, the state he represents as a US senator, has done just that,
notoriously refusing to allow a ten-year-old rape victim to end her pregnancy
(she had to travel out of state,
at which point Republicans targeted the doctor who helped her).
