#THREAD on @MichelleObama's "any woman who didn't vote for @HillaryClinton voted against their own voice" comment.

#StillWithHer
2. People like @TomiLahren @secupp & @JudgeJeanine have seized on the comment, calling it sexist...
3. Despite their defense of @realDonaldTrump's "you have to treat women like shit" & pussy grabbing" comments (@secupp not included in that)
4. It's an intellectually dishonest argument they're making. Conservative women (& annoying liberals) like to say "I don't vote w my vagina"
5. "Hillary's entire campaign was 'vote for me because I'm a woman'" is another favorite of theirs despite it being laughably false.
6. Hillary has said something similar to Michelle Obama's comment, and they're both right.
7. Neither of them are saying that all women should've voted for Hillary because she's a woman...
8. Hillary actually said she believes a woman will be president in her lifetime and she hopes she agrees with her so she can support her.
9. They're saying that voting FOR Donald Trump was against women's interests and against their own voice. It was.
10. I'm gay. If @HillaryClinton had been on record saying "you have to treat gay people like shit" or treated gays like 2nd class citizens..
11. ...I could not have voted for her. I wouldn't vote for Trump, but I couldn't support Hillary either. It would be against my own voice.
12. Being a woman & casting a vote for someone with obvious disrespect for women over a woman who's fought for women's rights for a lifetime
13. ...Would be like me casting a vote for gay-conversion-therapy-supporter Mike Pence in an election against Harvey Milk.
14. I wouldn't do it.

I couldn't do it.

And I would believe that gay people who did had ignorantly voted against their own voices.
15. And I would be right.

These people are intentionally misrepresenting Hillary and Michelle's comments to feed into their narrative. Stop

#Thread I was triggered to write this by a status I saw over the weekend which was figuratively calling people who aren't entrepreneurs fools.
You must have seen similar ones like it. The one where they will claim you're building somebody else's dreams if you work 8-4 or 9-5.
The earlier you people who peddle entrepreneurship realised that not everyone is cut out for the business world, the better it would be for everybody.
You think I'm not living the life I dreamt of just because I answer to a boss? *Just let people do what they love, man.*
How difficult is that for you to understand?

If you're truly an entrepreneur in Nigeria and you sell real goods and services, you can't paint entrepreneurship ( in Nigeria) as exciting, attractive and something only foolish people will not venture into.

#HillaryClinton won the popular vote by 3M, but lost the Electoral College by less than half a percent--77k votes--in PA, WI, MI.

Votes for #JillStein totaled more than 250k votes in those states.

#VoterSuppression is a huge threat.
The refusal of the Sanderses to fully support #HillaryClinton after Sanders lost the primary in a landslide created a schism among Democrats that was perpetuated by false claims that somehow Sanders was cheated.
Instead of calling for his supporters to vote for #HillaryClinton, three days before the election, Sanders was--inexplicably--giving cover to Trump supporters.

20% of those who supported Sanders in the primaries voted for Trump in the general.

Well, this is AWFUL & tremendously disappointing.

For decades @HillaryClinton has been an outspoken voice for women & girls.

THIS IS NOT THAT.

There's forgiving your husband for an affair & there's recognizing that affair crossed a line that should NEVER have been crossed.
@HillaryClinton #HillaryClinton shouldn't constantly be asked to account for her husband's actions. That is another layer of #misogyny.

But Hillary is a leader.
She chose to answer.

And her answer was devastatingly wrong.

That answer will become worse than Bill's actual actions.
@HillaryClinton Many women have been Monica, in thrall to a powerful older man.

Many women have been married to men who cheated & who they forgave.

@HillaryClinton had an opportunity to speak to ALL women.

Oh how I wish she had taken it.

In my 11/9/16 column after the election, written on deadline an hour after #HillaryClinton gave her concession speech, I wrote about issues I'd covered t/o the election: rampant misogyny and Trump's outrageous courting of racists.

I never believed PA, WI & MI vote totals.
Trump targeted PA as a state that if it didn't go for him, the election was "rigged."
PA hadn't voted #GOP in 30yrs
PA hadn't voted against #Philly in 60yrs
#HillaryClinton lost by less than half a percent.
Just enough NOT to trigger an audit.
The same thing happened in MI & WI.
There will always be a significant number of journalists and state politicians who feel, as I always have, that the vote totals in these three states were manipulated.

I hope the #MuellerInvestigation finally exposes that.

A Thread for Men: When your #woman is #emotional, #crying or #stressed out, do not hold it against her. One of the lies of #feminism is that men and women are the same, including that we should process #emotions the same way. Reject the lie. Listen and learn in the posts below.
#Women have much greater #hormonal fluctuations each month than #men do. Simply put, a woman's thought life and #emotions are more prone to high highs, and low lows. This isn't a "design flaw" but rather how #God made a #woman to be in touch with the needs of small #children.
Nothing is more short-sighted as a #man than viewing a #woman as an "overly emotional" or "flawed" version of a man's thought process or #emotions. A woman that does not let her emotions out will become very #passiveaggressive, #depressed or #angry. Your job is to be an #outlet.
