Summary
A video encouraging women to vote independently for Kamala Harris sparked outrage among conservative men, who called it divisive and “amoral.” The video highlights the gender gap that has widened between Harris and Trump, with recent polls showing notable leads by Harris among women and Trump among men.
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
Supporters argue it reflects real tensions around women’s autonomy, especially in conservative households.
“If your husband is mad at this ad, then this ad was made for you.”
I’m mad that it’s 2024 and this ad needs to exist
I’m mad it’s 2024 and we need to check notes
Make sure women don’t have rights stripped away
And I’m just mad that it’s 2024!
That’s so weird that the nazi husbands who would give their wife a black eye for voting for kamala would fly into a rage about something.
Waiting for the article from the NYT about how this is bad for Harris’ polling with police officers.
As we always said when the Volunteers lost to Alabama: “Lot of women are going to be falling down stairs tonight.”
It wasn’t funny then either :(
A lot of doors are gonna carelessly be left open 🫤
It’s bonkers that the people who can’t stfu about FREEDOMS are the ones who want to strip everyone else’s away
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., joined the criticism Thursday, telling Fox News that Democrats are telling wives to lie to their husbands: “What kind of a totally amoral, corrupt, sick system have the Democrats developed?”
Ah yes, the guy who has cheated on multiple wives is talking about amorality and corruption.
He’s not the only conservative paragon of virtue that’s having a hissy-fit over it either:
Fox News host Jesse Watters said on the air last week that if his wife did the same as the women in the ad, it would violate “the sanctity of our marriage.”
“If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Watters said, a remark that prompted many online to call him out for his marital affair, which he admitted to in 2018.
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
These idiots really miss the fact that most women can, and, in fact, must work. This idea of a “sweet” husband who works to provide for his family is so outdated it’s absurd.
That’s actually true in some of their cases, because they don’t have anything else to offer the family.
I’m willing to bet a lot of these people can’t cook, never clean and are insecure because they jerked around in high school.
Unfortunately for them, I agree. Better educated women are making people like Kirk obsolete. In the past, the only thing they had to offer was steady income, but now that women are often making more than many of them and are better educated, they feel threatened. So the only thing they have left is pretending women are dumb
Awww your wife isn’t your property?? 😢
What about the husband vote cancelling out the wives vote?
Both humans have agency. If you are going to frame the issue as treachery, then the husband shouldn’t vote against his wife. Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?
Fuck that.
Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?
To conservatives it’s this one.
That headline again: “Party of Snowflakes Melt”
Yes. Yes, rage against this. Feed your anger. How dare they?!?!?! Feed the Streisand effect. Spread this idea. Let it engage you!! Oh, I know. Rant about it to your wife. Tell her all about this evil idea. Tell her what those other independent women are doing. Yeah. Get good and mad /S
I’m willing to take bets that sometime in the Future there will be a call from Republicans for a new law that allows husbands to see how their wives have voted.
To protect Family values… And to stop disharmony in the marriage…
And, of course, to prevent voter fraud…
If the Conservatives had their way, women would not be allowed to vote at all. Unfortunately, that still seems to be one of their goals. I mean, Trump and his henchmen have already made sure that women are no longer allowed to control their own bodies, which I have to admit I thought was impossible in a Western country. What makes you think they’re going to leave it at taking away women’s right to a secret ballot? These people want to reverse advances in civilization like women’s right to vote all together. That’s what conservative means to them: back to the Middle Ages. In this sense, they are little different from other religious extremists such as the Taliban. Their goals might be a little different but their means are pretty much the same.
If conservatives had their way, men would vote on behalf of their wives and unmarried adult daughters.
Gotta stop voter fraud, by letting those who commit election interference and believe the system is compromised to control it. No way that could go wrong.
I can’t imagine (as a unmarried guy) living in a marriage where my wife would be afraid to tell me who she voted for. Even if she votes Trump, she’s my spouse, and that comes way before that. She should chew me out if I make her feel afraid.
…It makes me feel shame for the culture some men are raised in.
I’d you’re married to someone who has opposite political views than you , your marriage probably has a lot of issues and voting secrecy is way down on the list. You don’t need to be perfectly aligned but mostly.
Party that repealed Roe v Wade and constantly talks about shooting liberals is now angry that their wives might be afraid of telling them how they vote, more news at 10

Next up, they’re going to try and force women into wearing bedsheets cuz, you know, they can’t keep it in their pants when they see a modestly attractive woman go by in normal clothes.
They’ll probably soon start suggesting women shouldn’t hear other women’s voices. Very Taliban. Very cool. -GOP
Y’all’kaida
Good lord they’re really telling on themselves with this one aren’t they?
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
And just why does she have to lie about it to her “sweet” husband?..
My wife would beat the shit out of me if I didn’t vote for Kamala, and I’d deserve it, and enjoy it.
probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life
Yeah, she probably sits on her ass all day anyway. The kids raise themselves! The audacity of these women to have been born with an ungrateful vagina smh
More like rotten
