When we say “women,” please clarify that this means *straight cis white women*.
Gay/trans women / women of color have smelled the GOP mess for decades and they’ve voted in suit. If it’s somehow new to straight cis white women, that’s part of the problem.

White women have voted essentially 50-50 Republican/Democrat in presidential races since 1952. Only the 1964 Johnson/Goldwater race is a substantial outlier. 52% voted for Trump in 2016—against an outrageously qualified white woman. That’s just in line with long term trends. 
To think this event or even this presidency means “Republicans have lost women” is bad analysis; the truth is that they have never lost straight cis white women, and they have never won gay/trans women and women of color.
“Winning women” means getting more of the latter to vote.

Just to be clear—yes, half of white women voted for Clinton. Yes, half of white women consistently vote Democrat.
The number one thing that white women can do to end the tyranny of men is to convince the half of white women who don't to join them in doing the right thing.

A coda of sorts to this thread: Only 46% of white women believe Dr. Christine Ford.
