- xienze 2y agoAh my mistake, I missed that this was referencing the Republican primaries here. Forgive me, the whole "Harris wasn't elected because Americans are misogynists" trope has been repeated so often I had that burned into my brain. Addressing the primaries, no one was beating Trump, it has nothing to do with his closest but still far distant challenger being a woman.

Its more common for conservatives to elect women than for progressives to around the world, most female national leaders are right wing. The reason there aren't many women in the Republican party isn't the voters, its that not many women likes right wing politics no matter where in the world you are.
