To the editor:There has been a lot of discussion about what a “real man” would do this election by conservative pundits.But do they really know what a “real man” is?Does a “real man” fly a “f… your feelings” Trump flag in front of his house?Or is that a cry for help?Something like, “Help me, mommy! I’m afraid of immigrants and women who vote to ensure they can make their own decisions.”Is that what a “real man” says?Or maybe the “you” in question is the flag flyer himself, who has been taught by our patriarchal society that men are only allowed two emotions: anger and hate. Maybe the flag flyer is tired of being angry and hateful all the time.Is a “real man” really afraid of women? Is that why “real men” would, according to the conservative pundits, vote against their best interests by voting for a convicted rapist and felon who wants to be dictator from “day one?” Because they are afraid a woman would be a mother to the country, nurture and care for everyone, instead of being biased toward super rich males?I think the conservatives are trying to do a lot of sympathetic magic.
