If we were to ever have a female president in the US, do you think anyone who criticizes her would be labeled a misogynist, incel or “pick me”?

If we were to ever have a female president someday, do you think anyone who criticizes her the same way they would any male president would be labeled a misogynist, and/or an incel and their manhood ridiculed and made fun of or their “pick me” status ridiculed and made fun of if it were a female who criticized the first female president regardless of party affiliation?

Yes, if we had a female president anyone who criticizes her would be branded a misogynist/incel/pick me by someone

No, if we had a female president anyone who criticizes her would not be branded a misogynist/incel/pick me by anyone

Obviously it depends on the criticism. For example, racists love to say a lot of things that aren't racist and then throw something racist into the mix in such a way that the only way anyone has time to respond is to call the whole rant racist. This serves to get people tired of everything being called racist and provides some victimhood to the racist. The same is true of misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, religious nationalism, and all the other chimp-like behaviors of the far right. They will find a way to express their hate but shroud it in innocuous (though often speculative) criticism. And the people who wish to hate will know, when defending it, not to mention the hateful part or feign ignorance about its meaning. They know hate is unpopular but want it to dominate anyway, so pretending everyone is overreacting is their only option.

Let’s say the first female president of the US attempts to make it so that families no longer go by the male’s last name but by Maiden names instead. Would those who criticize this change and fight against said change be considered misogynistic or a “pick me”

Yeah, I can see a female president saying that it would be her personal preference and the right wing grievance junkies taking that to mean she is trying to make that a law punishable by death and then the left responding to that idiotic overreaction by just assuming it is misogyny and then the right using that as evidence that everything is called misogyny no matter what so we should just ignore it when anything is called misogyny.. we've been down this road before.

Depends on which party she is elected from and the quality of the candidate. For instance if it was kamala Harris then any criticism of her would be branded as misogynistic, if it wad tulsi gabbard any criticism of her would be deemed fair.

In Australia we called our first and only female Prime Minister a witch. Ditch The Witch became a catchy campaign slogan.

They tried to disallow insulting the PM if female but buggar that we doubled down. Everybody hated her guts.

You guys should too.

[ManInChains]

Good on you and others for doubling down and not bending the knee to the matriarchy

@ManInChains :) The whole concept that female politicians should be treated differently is to be thoroughly rejected.

In Australia the Labor party tends to put a female in as leader when they are on the nose. In my state the current female premier has just lost 10% points to be at the lowest poll results for decades.

They don't tend to do well.

Your Hilary Clinton pulled out a corker calling voters deplorables.

Part of the problem with having a female president other than the obvious issues would also be the fact that anyone who criticized her would immediately have their life ruined by the feminists. It is important to be able to criticize all politicians without having your life ruined.

The feminists would be the first female president’s personal army of defense
