Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I don’t feel hypocritical though. I’m a woman who sometimes votes for women and sometimes doesn’t, depending on their merit.
That's very much fine by me, I'm a man who votes for women or men depending on what they promise (and how much I believe they'll keep their promise). I specifically said "vote women because they're women".
Who does that though?
Oh of course everyone but this commenter. The commenter is the one perfectly logical human and they just thought they'd be kind and impart some of their deep wisdom upon us /s
Nope, but just because of the way you react, I'm gonna guess you're the one that does that.
Like, just go Google and you'll see discussions where people urge others that they should vote for a woman? For example, during the last elections in my country there was a campaign "circle a woman" (circling is giving your preference vote towards a singular candidate instead of just voting for a party, not sure if there's some equivalent where you live).
Do you see it on lemmy? I’ve never encountered this and it feels weird to say that you’re combatting hypocrisy when you’re not in the arena in which it actually takes place.
