Most Americans believe in gender equality, but not everyone sees how sexism affects women ― particularly Republican men, according to a survey released Tuesday.
Republican men, who make up 12 percent of the population, repeatedly showed a lack of awareness of sexisms pervasiveness, according to a poll for non-partisan research firm PerryUndems report, State of the Union on Gender Equality, Sexism and Womens Rights. More than half of GOP men said its a good time to be a woman, while only 41 percent said its a good time to be a man.
Its easier being a woman today than it is a man, Dennis Halaszynski, 81, told The New York Times. Everybody else is above the white man. Everything in general is in favor of a woman. Halaszynski said he voted for Donald Trump in the election.

Research overwhelmingly finds the opposite. Women work more hours than men, but are paid less; are less likely to hold top positions in business and politics; and are disproportionately affected by policies on paid parental leave and sick leave.

Their misogyny is outdone only by their penchant for drama and playing the victim.
I have news for you guys. We women weren't born yesterday. We see right through your ploy of playing the martyr as the manipulation it is.
