True enough Beckett. But I don’t think Trump is actually directing “ire" at women so much as being ignorant of what he’s saying. He knows he’s leveling ire at people of color and trans people because it’s politically expedient. But I don’t think he or RFK, Jr. have the subtlety of mind to see how the disproven Tylenol autism link, while a convenient flim-flam to pretend to have found “the answer,” wrongfully pins the cause on the shoulders of mothers; a regurgitation of Bettleheim’s “refrigerator mothers” nonsense. Sensitivity to women is something I wouldn’t expect from the regime; stupidity is.
