WaPo & Anna Holmes Call out Trump’s Sexism
Anna Holmes, founder of Jezebel, recently became a columnist for Washington Post's Style section. We love that she dedicated her first column to an expose a history of Donald Trump's sexist and misogynist views and actions, because we know that if he's really intending to run for President, we'll see a whole lot of sexist coverage we're geared up to fight. And why is this important politically? Holmes explains: "These ideas about women have explicitly political implications as well, echoing the ideology at the core of the antiabortion movement’s recently heightened assault on women’s reproductive rights, which found expression in the near-shutdown of the government over contraception, STD testing and the specter of pregnancy termination. The message is clear: Women can’t be trusted to define, or control, their own bodies, so it’s up to men to do it for them."
