And in quiet conversations, some female Harris supporters can’t shake the uneasy feeling that men in their lives are struggling to support a woman — especially a Black and South Asian woman — even if they don’t want to admit it.
Maybe there's another feeling available, one which views men more charitably but comes at the cost of requiring some self-reflection.
Maybe the men in your lives would be delighted to finally have the chance to vote for the best person and have the pleasure of having that person be a woman. What they are more likely struggling with is whether to enjoy the voting for a woman part, but at the cost of knowing that they like the other guy better.
My question for these women: What do you think the men in your lives would think, if they knew that the women in their lives think they are sexist and racist?
Perhaps reflect: Are you voting for Harris because you always vote Democratic? If your men voted for Obama and for Hillary Clinton, maybe you should wonder if lack of support for Harris has something to do with traits which have nothing to do with race of sex.
