Republican Josh Hawley proclaims there's only 'one gender' in fundraising email
Sarah K. Burris
RAWSTORY
Let's talk about the Freudian in this slip, shall we?

Sure, it's some kind of editing mistake. What kind doesn't matter. Maybe they were editing an old "one kind of marriage" fundraising letter - I'm sure they have those on standby, waiting to be brought back out.

But.

What's @GOP core policy?

Changing election rules so they can't be voted out.

Suppression, legislatures overriding results, whatever it takes. The Hungary model, where they held CPAC. Or Wisconsin, where if they lose the popular vote by 20 points they still keep the legislature.

But what're MAGAtry hardliners talking about? Not just ch4n/ Th3 D0nald fringes, but talk radio, for example? How do they want to solve this problem?

By eliminating the right of women to vote.

They just say so. Only men should be voting. Some say only property-owning men. But mostly, though, it's only men should vote.

Only "people with a stake in society," a national talk-radio host said as part of defending his male-property-owners-only stance just a few months ago.

I'm pretty sure you can safely shorten that to "only people," when you get right down to it. Which gets us back to "one gender."

Sure, whoever hacked this letter together didn't mean to type "one gender." But it's kinda what they think.

For them, there's only one gender of actual people. And that's male, and men. Because for them, when push comes to shove... women aren't actually people.

And I think that's how that letter got out.

Because really, as far as they're concerned - the whole world, all of it... it's all and only about men.

Women need not apply.

Much less count.
