Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, the women of FoxNews.

So many young women are profoundly influenced by media and popular culture that the more desirable you are to men, the more power you have. And it's not even conscious.

I think that so many of the young white women that followed Bernie were aligning with men. Yes, Gloria Steinem put it poorly, but yes, those young women were supporting their men.

What their man hates, they hate. What their man is passionately interested in, they are as well.

Much like the women who supported Trump.
