Summary

A video encouraging women to vote independently for Kamala Harris sparked outrage among conservative men, who called it divisive and “amoral.” The video highlights the gender gap that has widened between Harris and Trump, with recent polls showing notable leads by Harris among women and Trump among men.

Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”

Supporters argue it reflects real tensions around women’s autonomy, especially in conservative households.

Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”

These idiots really miss the fact that most women can, and, in fact, must work. This idea of a "sweet" husband who works to provide for his family is so outdated it's absurd.

That's actually true in some of their cases, because they don't have anything else to offer the family.

I'm willing to bet a lot of these people can't cook, never clean and are insecure because they jerked around in high school.

Unfortunately for them, I agree. Better educated women are making people like Kirk obsolete. In the past, the only thing they had to offer was steady income, but now that women are often making more than many of them and are better educated, they feel threatened. So the only thing they have left is pretending women are dumb

Yeah but he makes more for the same work so obviously he's more important...

That does still apply to rich people, which is why I suspect so many of these idiots still think this way. Surely everyone has the means THEY have!

Surely everyone has the means THEY have!

And if they don't--fuck em. They obviously don't work hard enough while spending their few shekels on fancy toast and bubble tea or some shit

Only the people that matter have the means they have.
