Again, each gets to appoint judges that will affect women for decades. You mentioned the Supreme Court and the problem with them is all attributed to Trump's first term. Second term will have generations long catastrophic repercussions that just won't occur under Biden or just about anyone else. Women don't have time for men to play with their lives and risk a Trump term in order to wait for the perfect candidate. Aanyone else including just about any republican is safer for women than Trump.
Unfortunately, not all women want what you, or the left wants.
Census data from 2020 (couldn't find more recent) shows there are more women of voting age than men in the US: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2020/demo/popest/2020-demographic-analysis-tables.html
Assuming that some men are voting in favor of women's rights, you would think that it wouldn't be possible for Trump to be elected, but it was, even when a woman was running against him. If women really don't want Trump to win, they seemingly don't even need men to make it happen.
Of course, this doesn't account for the variations in population from state to state, but that even highlights how ridiculous our electoral college voting system is, and guess what. Nobody on the left or right is talking about alternative voting systems like RCV or switching to a popular vote.
Data here shows, however, that there are only 11 states with marginally higher male to female population, so the point still stands. If women want it to happen, they have the power to. It's just not what all women want and they don't need men to do it for them. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/male-to-female-ratio-by-state
What do those stats have to do with women's healthcare rights? 85% of Americans believe some form of abortion should be legal. A trump term would mean more ultra conservative judges and rulings. Trump is not something we can risk. He is old and this has to be his last chance.
anyways, fear does not motivate me to vote
I get it. High five for not having a vagina and not rrreeeaaalllyy having to worry about it.
You don’t know who I am or my life. Like I said, there are people with vaginas who have voted for Trump and people with vaginas who will not be voting for Biden. Women are not a monolith.
