Summary

Trend underlines vast gender divide as election approaches, as experts say some women face pressure to ā€˜toe the lineā€™ politically at home.

A TikTok trend of women ā€œcanceling outā€ their partnersā€™ votes highlights a gender divide in the 2024 election, with many young women supporting Kamala Harris while their male partners back Trump. Campaigns encourage women, especially those in conservative households, to vote independently, emphasizing privacy through ads featuring voices like Michelle Obama and Liz Cheney. Conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Jesse Watters criticize these efforts, claiming they undermine family values.

      Iā€™m going to grant you the statistic, sadly the misogyny runs very deep in this country.

      And Iā€™ll point out it still sets up the same dichotomy as ā€œmen fear a woman will laugh at them, women fear a man will rape and/or kill them.ā€

        This, exactly. A male Trump supporter lies about voting for Trump because he fears being ostracized.

        A female Harris supporter lies about voting for Harris because her partner might kill her.

        If this wasnā€™t true, we wouldnā€™t need the ā€œYour vote is secretā€ messaging from the Dems.
