"Why Women Vote for Obama

Self-preservation. Yes, it's that simple.
The history of women includes millenia after millenia of subjugation, mass killing, rape, and witch burning to name a view of the atrocities. Some of this mayhem continues today in our so-called advanced society: the persistent murder of pregnant women and rape, for example.
Male violence to wards women has been around for a long time. Archaeologist Marija Gimbutas discovered that civilization used to be matriarchal rather than patriarchal. Matriarchal societies tended to be egalitarian, not hierarchical. Power was shared. Around 3500 BC the shift from matriarchy to patriarchy started. Worship of the earth mother shifted to worship of the sky god. Men exerted power and took control.
The vitriol that men have historically had toward women comes from a deep seated place. They had centuries of being "controlled" by women. They took control and exacted revenge.
Vitriol is a signal that the unconscious is speaking.
Today we see women expressing vitriol toward the female presidential candidate. What is the female unconscious trying to say? What is the feminine unconscious reacting to?
Other countries have had female leaders, but not the United States, arguably the most powerful country. As we stand on the precipice of that possibility it is important to ask why the vitriol toward a more than qualified female candidate for president? The shift in the power structure is frightening. This fear turns into anger and gets projected onto the woman. It is women's own self-contempt that they project onto Hillary.
Rather than confront their own self-loathing and jealousy at Hillary for achieving what every-woman can, women are instead eating their own and supporting the male candidate in order to preserve the male hierarchy and their place in it. To look at Hillary is to look in the mirror at their own unrealized potential. "
In other words "If you're female and not supporting Sen. Clinton, you're a traitor to your gender and supporting male oppression!"
*faceplant*
For the one millionth time, people can and do dislike Sen. Clinton for the KIND of person she is. Gender has nothing to do with it!
