In some ways, its those that can only see it as a woman / man issue, who it clouds their ability to appreciate the inference, that have a problem IMO.

I read it as an over-dramatic actor/celebrity entering a room. And really, who cares if Trump takes it as calling him effeminate? I don't see why we can't use his fear of being seen as a "girly man" against him.

Like those who are needling the Proud Boys social media sites by hashtagging #proudboys to homosexual pages. And it looks like many in the LGBTQ community are participating in that. To make the PBs uncomfortable and frustrated. One of the reasons for that is that they can't retaliate by trying the same thing to a more liberal organization, because we'd just say..."Yeah...so what, we support the LGBTQ community."

Why not use whatever weapons we have against them, for which they cannot do much about?

Ok, that is funny, but here's a funny one without using women as an insult: SunSeeker Feb 2021 #2

That's not women. That's Norma Desmond. It's perfect. nolabear Feb 2021 #3

I know it's Norma Desmond. Why do we insult men by portraying them as a woman? SunSeeker Feb 2021 #6

Okay. I'm too exhausted to argue the point. nolabear Feb 2021 #18

that would be your hang up. mopinko Feb 2021 #19

So not wanting women gratuitously insulted is a "hang up"? SunSeeker Feb 2021 #21

thinking that comparing someone to a woman is especially insulting mopinko Feb 2021 #30

No, not just "someone." Using similarity to women as an insult to men. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #31

It's using a female fictional character. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #5

This woman does not think this is making fun of women. TNNurse Feb 2021 #7

It's about the character, not the gender. Nevilledog Feb 2021 #8

THANK YOU! I blew up w/my earlier post and apologize. It's the CHARACTER. What? Only men CurtEastPoint Feb 2021 #10

So there are no male egomaniacs we could have likened Trump to? SunSeeker Feb 2021 #15

She acted out an entrance like that treestar Feb 2021 #29

The entrance of the emperor with no clothes is more like what Trump is doing. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #36

Exactly. TY. Duppers Feb 2021 #11

Surely there are male characters that we could have likened him to. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #14

Desmond was pretty much a nonfunctional character. jaxexpat Feb 2021 #23

Patton was a patriot. He would have died for his country. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #32

Patton was, never-the-less, a self-serving egomaniac. jaxexpat Feb 2021 #35

I didn't either, until I saw the reply of another woman and thought about it. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #12

Precisely. Ligyron Feb 2021 #13

It's about a character out of touch with reality. LisaM Feb 2021 #16

The thing is, I don't think Trump is out of touch with reality. He's a liar and gaslighter. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #22

Another woman not taking it personally birdographer Feb 2021 #17

"I didn't even think about the woman angle" either, until I saw another woman's reply tweet. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #20

Trump is not like Norma Desmond. She was delusional, pathetic and forgotten. SunSeeker Feb 2021 #38

You are right. It is possible to see both LiberalLovinLug Feb 2021 #39
