Trump is not a misogynist. It's worse.

He doesn't hate women. He doesn't even think about them as more than sexual objects. They aren't worth the emotional energy to hate. He represents a really awful thread in American culture where crimes against women aren't really crimes. They're like jay walking as someone in a different posted explained.

Isn't it?

Same as white supremacists have always considered POC. Shoot them. Rape them.

I feel sick.

they weren't people. From Greek and Roman times there were slaves and other non-citizens who did not have many basic human rights. We kept up the tradition a few hundred years ago.

Immigrants, losers in the latest war, serfs, non-landowners, captives-- historically all with few if any rights. And there were always women if no one else was around to oppress.

Says something that black males got the vote long before white (and black) women.
