“Women hate women. That’s what I think it is. Women’s nature is not to support other women. It’s really sad. Men protect each other, and women protect their men and children.

"Certainly, misogyny played a role. I mean, that just has to be admitted. And why and what the underlying reasons were is what I’m trying to parse out myself."

"Fellow white women, I'm done with you. After all this talk of allyship, you didn't show up to the polls to push back against the openly racist, xenophobic, misogynistic now-President-elect Donald Trump..."

"Misogyny played no significant role whatever in Hillary Clinton's two defeats as a presidential candidate. This claim is such a crock!

 What a gross exploitation of feminism-in the service of an unaccomplished woman whose entire career was spent attached to her husband's coat tails."

McIntosh said “we’ll figure out exactly what happened with turnout,” particularly among “white college-educated women.”

  “But we have work to do talking to those women about what happened this year, and why, why, why we would vote against our self-interests,” she lamented.
