Do Women Want to Be Protected by Trump--or from Trump?

In September, Donald Trump told women: "I will be you protector." This didn't go over so well with the ladies. Quite a few feel they do not need to be protected by a man, especially not this man. Younger women, college-educated women and single women, in particular, tend to chafe at the idea of their requiring a man to protect them, especially a man who has been found liable in court for committing sexual assault and has been accused of it by many other women.

It's not that women lack anxiety. Many of them are anxious about many things"their lives and their position in society, for example. But what they are worried about is not what Trump wants them to be worried about. He wants them to be scared of criminal immigrants. Instead they are scared that their rights to abortion, IVF, and contraception may be taken from them by Trump and the Republicans. He dismisses these fears as unrealistic and wants them to be afraid of what he tells them to be afraid of. Many women see this as paternalistic and patronizing.

"Protected" by Trump? Cadet Bone Spurs, a whining wimp and whinging coward, is definitely not the person you want next to you in any sort of foxhole.
