You can't make this stuff up.

Her secretary of state, running for Governor, picked an all female campaign team (on purpose) and is part of a women's advocacy group.

What kind of mens advocacy is Whitmer in support of, or even in close orbit of?

I think that rules, but I'm just a michigan dude.

This comment right here just proves behind a shadow of a doubt why trying to appeal to men with speeches like this is a waste of time. There’s nothing Whitmer could do to appeal to you. A lot of these men just want to see a man back in charge, they don’t care about outcomes.

Or, you know, she could back up her appeal for voters with something beneficial to the voters.

Crazy, I know.

How are you failing to recognize that by her actions of selecting an entirely female group, she gives the impression of wanting to only see women in power and thus diminishes male existence?
