Jill Filipovic Slams ‘Traditional’ White Women that Vote for Republicans

EXCERPT:

FILIPOVIC: "Well, I think the first thing it's important to understand is that white women are the largest kind of race gender combination voting bloc. In 2016 they were 41 percent of the electorate. That's a bigger voting bloc than white men. It's much voting bloc then black women, black men, Hispanic women, Hispanic men. So I think it's very important to understand that among this huge voting bloc, you kind of have to break it down into subgroups in order to really understand it. And the reality is that white women who have been able to enjoy the fruits of feminist progress, who have gotten higher education, who've been able to stay single for longer, who have been able to delay childbearing, who live in big cities, those women tend to vote for Democrats. They do vote in their own interest. What you see on the conservative side, women who tend to vote for people like Donald Trump, despite sexual assault allegations, and do in fact vote against the interests of women more broadly, I think, is a sense that being in a traditional -- being respected for being a traditional woman is safer, is better than having to kind of go at it on your own.”
