They know but Trump hates the same people that they hate and that's the most important thing to them.

Yes, that and the fact that a LOT of women vote for the men who pass the laws that enable men like that.

The men who make the laws that restrict women's rights are elected by conservative men and women. Elect more progressive women.

Pretty sure your reply was creepier than his comment. I think a "mind your own business" would have sufficed.

Me too and the conservative voters that enable them, but that includes a substantial number of female voters, 52% of white women and 37% of latino women voted for Trump. If a progressive woman runs for office, I'll vote for her, but your conservative female friends won't.

You're lucky to be Canadian. Things aren't anywhere near that good as far as health care goes south of your border.

Actually you do see men described as misogynists, nearly always wrongly. I think the more I try to explain, the less you understand.

True, and if you cross the street against the red light while blindfolded and crawling on your hands and knees, you won't be hit by a car unless there is a car there.

From the 52% of white women and 37% of Hispanic women who voted for Trump.

If this guy is guilty of rape losing his job is just the start of his punishment, but this needs to be proven in court, not on social media.

I've heard that Canada has good health care so I'm going to assume this is a better deal than it appears.

Here is your world of the day: misandry. Women like you use the term misogyny pretty freely but you never see the word misandry used to describe a woman. Look it up. See if it fits.

Unfortunately, my perspective is limited to what is happening in my country. I can't speak to what's happening in other countries anymore than you can speak to what's happening here.

Yes, there is a lot of oppression to overcome but women have been voting for 106 years and made great progress but that momentum has been halted and reversed, and conservative women are a big part of the reason for that. Look up misogynist in the dictionary. The definition is not gender specific.

Old But Still Curious @larrymike55.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
If you can think in terms of 100s of years maybe you should consider looking back farther than one election. Women have been voting conservative before Trump

If you want to play the conservative culture card, then you'll understand that men who grew up in a "woman's place is in the home" and "keep them barefoot and pregnant" and "women are the equal of men" household run by a man, do the things that they do when they grow up or do you just hate men?

Lady, these women didn't do anything to me. I'll never need an abortion. No one is going to rape me or deny me contraception or make it extra hard for me to vote. I don't hate women, I kind of like them truth be told, but equality comes with accountability not excuses.

We could use that kind of courage in the USA.

Old But Still Curious @larrymike55.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
It's not misogyny, It's accountability. I don't have a problem owning up to the things that men do that hurt women so why should a woman have a problem with owning up to the things that they do that hurt women? "Patriarchy" sounds like an excuse. Women think for themselves these days.

No, it doesn't negate the statement but I did try to expound on the statement. Men are a big part of the problem but so are women

Old But Still Curious @larrymike55.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
That is all true, but women, especially white women, did help to elect the men that passed those laws that persecute women. You might want to mention that the next time you talk to your mom, sisters, and female friends because the odds are good that they're part of the problem also.

Don't forget to thank the NY taxpayers who funded a large portion of the cost to build the stadium, many of whom can't afford to attend an NFL game in the stadium they paid for.

We understand your anger and you don't despise our government more than we do. That said, Canada is looking to join the EU. Canada fought WW2 against several countries that are now in the EU. You forgave Nazis and fascists. You'll forgive us....in a few decades...maybe

I've hired Hispanics many times and I've always been impressed with their work ethic, courtesy and professionalism. They do the jobs no one else wants to do. When is the last time you saw a group of white guys on a roof in August?

You are clearly in the "guilty until proven innocent" camp as long as the accused is a man,and even when they're acquitted, they are still guilty in your eyes. I'll take my attitude over yours any day.Women deserve their day in court and I'd like to see these guys judged by a female jury

The current batch of Republican Senators and Congressmen/women are a result of the dumb electing the dumber. We're getting the worst of the worst .

I know women who've been assaulted.It's more than I would've guessed,but most that I know haven't been.I also know of men who've been falsely accused of sexual assault.I don't think women get treated fairly in court but not every man who is accused is guilty.If that disgusts you,I'm fine with that.

I'm not a fan of holding a trial via social media and the news. Innocent until proven guilty, but this case should have been investigated and if the facts warranted it, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This woman should not have had to initiate a civil suit to bring criminal charges.

I stopped watching the NFL a few years back. I don't support old white billionaires nor do I support the millionaire players. Obviously there are some good players who will take a moral stand but very few Colin Kaepernicks these days willing to risk their big paychecks over a moral issue.

ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES 2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued. “And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton 📌Nicholas Lapointe 📌Christopher Semler I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.

It's a pattern in this country. Most Americans don't understand that their actions have consequences and even fewer are willing to accept those consequences. It's called entitlement.

Every time I see a story about a reporter standing up to Trump, it's a female reporter. Either the male reporters aren't stepping up or it's not being reported. I'm guessing the former is more likely than the latter.

I stopped watching sports when sports became just a collection of money grubbing owners and players. Gambling ads are just the most recent evidence that they don't care about fans or people or anything except making more money no matter who it hurts.

It's simple. It's not about the economy or healthcare or affordability for them. They hate the same people that Trump hates i.e. anything that isn't white, and everything that is liberal or progressive.

Why just Kraft? Remember Colin Kaepernick, tax payer funded stadiums, ticket prices that most tax payers can't afford, paid streaming service just to watch the games? Boycott all facets of the NFL.

If the Bills wanted to do something really meaningful they could refund the $850million in taxpayer money that they took to build their new playground and use that money for education, healthcare, and charity. They also have the highest ticket prices in the NFL.

Am I missing something but with the exception of Peter Alexander, I don't see any male reporters pushing back against Trump. It seems to be just the female reporters.

Those fans paid $610 on average for their tickets and that's after using $850 million in taxpayer money to build the stadium. I'm not going to get too grateful that they sang the Canadian Anthem. If they want to do some good, donate their ticket money to the charities that didn't get $850million
