Teen Vogue: 'White Women Have to Answer For Backing Trump Again'

It sickens me they have even invaded teen magazines. Most parents don’t even realize it.

EVEN WORSE!!!!! on TV----the newscasters (may they rot) describe claims of
voting fraud as "BASELESS CLAIMS" <<< is that journalism?
 
Women TEND to vote based on emotional, non-substantive factors, rather than the actual policies, qualifications, or the temperament of the candidate.

This is why the Founding Fathers wisely decided that women should not vote (though they could hold both political and appointed offices). This wisdom was overturned in 1920 with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment (which was followed by the even stupider 26th in 1971).

Literal racism disguised as “social justice”. Absolutely disgusting

Far beyond skillful PR, amid his repeated denials of wrongdoing, the move sheds light on a history of how white men, specifically misogynists and white supremacists, have found refuge in white women’s groups. White women in the United States have often wielded their collective power to support and even amplify white men engaged in the oppression of others; Gaetz is just the latest white politician to receive their cover.

While popular narratives tend to focus on the men who were enslavers, the historical record reveals how white women were equally invested in upholding slavery — and no less violent in their interactions with enslaved people. White women played an active role in the buying and selling of enslaved people and bolstered their own economic and social status at the expense of Black people.

The historical record is filled with examples of how white women in the United States, including those who espoused a commitment to “women’s rights,” worked against the interests of other women — especially women of color. And the record reveals how many of these women have worked to protect white men, even those who have violated and exploited women.

The white women who rallied behind former President Donald Trump — representing 52 percent of white women in the United States in 2016 — underscore the ease with which too many white women provide cover to misogyny, racism and white supremacy. And for many of these women, sexual abuse and harassment can be easily forgiven — or even completely overlooked — if it means supporting white men who are committed to advancing the interests of white people.


While some may express surprise by the leaders of Women for America First who did not think twice about promoting Gaetz’s appearance at their summit, we should remember that their actions are not aberrations. They echo a long and troubled history of how white women have often used their collective power to elevate, defend and protect white men — regardless of the individual’s views or behavior.

And before you think this is mostly an issue of the past, a recent statement of support from the women of Gaetz’s office reminds us this practice is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Teen Vogue Editor Resigns After Fury Over Racist Tweets
Ms. McCammond, 27, established herself as a prominent political reporter last year. She covered President Biden’s campaign for Axios and was a contributor to MSNBC and NBC. In 2019, she was named the emerging journalist of the year by the National Association of Black Journalists. She would have been the third Black woman to serve as Teen Vogue’s top editor, after Lindsay Peoples Wagner and Elaine Welteroth.

Her job status became shaky days after Condé Nast named her to the position, when the offensive tweets she had posted as a teenager in 2011 resurfaced. They included comments on the appearance of Asian features, derogatory stereotypes about Asians and slurs for gay people. Ms. McCammond had apologized for the tweets in 2019 and deleted them. Screenshots of the tweets were recirculated on social media after her hiring at Teen Vogue was announced on March 5.
