Male politicians pretending to care about the wellbeing and opinions of women only when it benefits them and helps “support” their incredibly racist statements against men of color/muslim men. Is already insane in itself but what makes it worse is that some people genuinely believe that bullshit.
Men especially in politics love to pretend that they care about women, the wellbeing and opinions of women if it benefits them and it is incredibly important to recognize when a male politician is using women and when he actually cares.
“Yeah great but how the fuck am I supposed to know that ???” Amazing Question!
-Know in which context his statement was said e.g.: Is it to support the deportations of “illegal” Immigrants ? Is it to make men of color/muslim men look more aggressive in comparison to white men/non muslim men ?
-What are his previous statements on women/women’s rights or issues ?
-What are his opinions on Abortion ? The rights of Pregnant women ? Etc. Basically anything about his politics and where they stand for women.
Most of these questions can be answered by a google search e.g.: “(Insert Politician) women’s rights”. All though I am always encouraging people to dig a little deeper than a quick google search and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SOURCE!!!!! (In what political spectrum does it swing in ? Is it a legitimate news outlet or a news outlet that is well known for writing absolute bullshit for clicks ? Is it an independent news outlet or in some way influenced by the government ?)
Also important to know that while I am specifically mentioning male politicians doing this (because this kind of strategy is often used by mainly men), female politicians are not exempt from this!!!
