Also, worth not neglecting the following categories that I do not think are as insignificant as we might hope:
People meme about this stuff a lot, in pretty gross ways because it is not a meme but a reality for far too many women especially.

Like… there is a lower bound on how much female support he will have based purely on those numbers.
One of the worrying things about the Trump era has been realizing that, while we all knew that those categories would exist, we found we were severely underestimating how high that lower bound really is.

@imstilljeremy @Bruce_Toews Yeah all of this as well. But it all still comes down to being fine with misogyny as long as it’s directed at not them. Because I can guarantee you that if literally anyone else said half the stuff to them that Trump says about any given woman he doesn’t like, they’d be up in arms along with all the opportunistic right-wing ponduts.
