"Slogans like “Love Wins”, “Love Trumps Hate”, “Hate Has No Home Here”, “Believe All Women”, “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” and “No Human is Illegal” sound incredibly mawkish and off-putting to me"

I'm a woman, and I find them off-putting as well. They all sound like the sorts of signs that are hung up in a kindergarten classroom, usually in some sort of childish-handwriting-looking font, and with rainbows and clouds around them. I disliked that sort of patronizing teacher-speak when I was a schoolgirl, and I dislike it even more as an adult woman.

(Plus, the "no human is illegal" one doesn't really make sense - I mean, obviously it is not illegal to be a human; but it is illegal for humans to do certain things which are against the law. The more literal-minded among us might well wonder if this statement extends to cover other illegal acts besides illegally entering a country - could I illegally enter someone's house, since no human is illegal? Could I illegally help myself to some items in a store, since no human is illegal?)

Thanks for the article.

The Democrats are trying to make a point of stating the data that shows white college-educated women favored Harris and white non-college-educated women favored Trump. The fact that many college 'educated' women major in inane, useless courses, which are more indoctrination than education, is never mentioned.
