At a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, on Monday night, Trump called WNBA player Sophie Cunningham “a beautiful young woman,” but also singled out her scoring average this season, according to People. “You probably wouldn’t mind her on the team, not to help you with points, but to help you with attendance. The attendance would be great.”
I don’t entirely disagree with your point because she is a gross person, but using misogyny against a woman you don’t like signals you are a misogynist to other people you may be more aligned with.
It’s fair to point that out. But at the same time, I refuse to be respectful to someone who holds a worldview that is intrinsically disrespectful to specific people based on their identity. I get that some will be offended by how sharply I might interact with a regressive, vapid quim, but I think it’s important to refuse any sort of grace, respect, or tolerance to intolerant psychologies.
