45% of women voted for Trump. Yet, folks here are blaming men for Kamala's loss?
Seriously, where is the accountability? Exit polls show that Trump grabbed 55% of the male vote and 45% of the female vote. Meanwhile, Kamala received 53% of the female vote and 42% of the male vote. Had Kamala equaled Trump's share of her own gender's vote, she would have won. I don't know why Kamala couldn't crack 55% of the female vote. Her entire campaign was built around protecting womens' rights. If ever there was a candidate for President who should have appealed to the female voter, it should have been Kamala. But, this didn't happen. It would seem to me that this should be the real starting point for what went wrong - not just in this election, but in society at large.
As a man, I have often witnessed a handful of men who don't know each other enter a room and bond rather quickly over the most trivial of things - beer, sports, a TV show, video games, etc. And, that's not just true of American culture. In Germany, they have something called a Männergarten. It is quite literally a temporary activity space for men to hang out while their wives or girlfriends go shopping. The woman buys a ticket (good for two beers) for the man and drops him off at the Männergarten and she's good to go. The concept doesn't work unless men who don't even know each other, once left amongst themselves, are willing to get along.
In contrast, among all the women I know, none describe a similar ease of bonding with the women they have come across. Instead, they describe never ending competition over every little personal detail and a tendency to tear each other down. Maybe this willingness on the part of the American female electorate not to have as a default position a willingness to support another person of their own gender had something to do with what happened to Kamala. I don't know. But, it would seem to me that the answer to this question is the most important one to answer if the U.S. is ever to elect a female President.

and in other news, what would you expect in a patriarchal society?..Like all oppressed people, women internalize the low esteem in which they're held by the Dominant group and that's projected, not only onto themselves, but onto others of their kind. It's called "internalized misogyny".
Apart from that, there are always people who vote against their own interests -- Consider all the Hispanic men who voted for Trump. 
otherwise it's just meaningless finger pointing.
Sure, we're all disappointed and angry right now, but what we're doing now is just further alienating those folks you want to "win back."
then I do feel sorry for them.
NO critically minded and thinking Woman is going to want them.
Really?

I don't understand either.
Maybe they enjoy his 'teeny, tiny dollhands' even more. 
Women clearly didn't coalesce around one of their own. 45% of women voted for a rapist rather than another woman. That is appalling. And, it's worth asking why they did so. I know it's an uncomfortable subject. Nobody wants to look within their own circle and find fault. It's always so much easier to blame someone else and call them names - including "creep". That's the simple way out of any difficulty - wash your hands and claim you and yours had nothing to do with it. But, doing so is likely to result in the same outcome next time - since you will have done nothing to address the real source and extent of the underlying problem.
