Can anyone tell me what "the woman card" is, when Trump uses the term?

[CTyankee]

Do you have a guess?

[MrWendel]

1. Look...

at previous op eds on DU that adress that very topic, and why they think Hillary uses the "Woman Card".

[CTyankee]

19. I didn't see them. I had just it was assumed Trump was talking about HRC discussing

issues related to women but every time I came up with something it seemed like it was in face related to men and children, too, with the exception of abortion.

HRC and Bernie need to restate the obvious: women's rights and human right and human rights are women's rights.

Some of these things are inseparable.

[madinmaryland]

2. I am assuming since it is coming from Trump, that it is something similar

to Limpballs use of the word "feminazi"

[JonLeibowitz]

3. Perhaps things similar to what DU members themselves say?

Such as, most recently: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=946958

Or perhaps this Salon article which was well received by DU: https://www.salon.com/2015/12/22/wanted_young_feminist_men_thats_who_hillary_clinton_and_the_rest_of_us_are_desperate_for/

[rufus dog]

4. I would assume it is similar to the race card

So he is setting himself up to make misogynistic statements, slam Hillary, then claim detractors are playing the women card for condemning him.

[Kalidurga]

5. When Trump uses it is nonsense

When a liberal uses it, it is an objection to the "vote for me I am a woman" meme.

[MeNMyVolt]

7. Cool, you have your bases covered. Convenient, eh? n/t

[Kalidurga]

13. Oddly enough I was told my college education was a waste of time

looks like it at least works out on message boards

[GummyBearz]

27. yep

it certainly does work on message boards.. haha

[meow2u3]

6. tRump is trying to justify blatant misogyny

by accusing HRC--before she even said one word--of trying to play the "woman card" when in fact he's playing the "man card."

[pinboy3niner]

8. When a woman dares to fight back. nt

[seabeyond]

15. +1. nt

[Turbineguy]

9. Just guessing

but I suspect this refers to women who will not have sex with him. To him of course this is surprising, to most of the rest of us it's normal and we've learned to sublimate.

[SusanCalvin]

10. Something you keep in your binder full of woman cards? nt

[seltzerwater]

11. I know what it is but I cant say it. It's too disgusting.

I don't even want to think about it. Let's not say it. It's too disgusting.

[grasswire]

20. hahaha

I see what you did there.

[seltzerwater]

12. Oh wait I know..

Is that when you go from 3/4 vagina to full vagina?

[seabeyond]

14. If a black talks about racism, they are using the "race card". If a woman discusses women's issues

She is now using the "woman card" because in this topsy turvery race, a white man is the feminist hero, and the woman is not allowed to discuss the issues.

[GummyBearz]

30. If the woman discussed the issue's, she would have had a good answer to the debate question

"How would you be different from president Obama?".

Her answer was "I am a woman".... so much for the issues. She played the woman card there, and someone as dumb as trump recognizes that it should be called out. You don't win or lose debates because "I have a vagina you have a penis". Wow. We are in so much trouble.

[seabeyond]

38. Typical you reduce it to a vagina and a penis. Body parts. Hence, Clinton being a woman,

her experiences, her fight, he experience standing up for and with women.... Matter. Without reducing it to the damn body parts as you so dismissively did.

[GummyBearz]

43. You sound like you would be better candidate that Clinton

Your answer is way better than the answer she gave. I mentioned body parts as a reaction to her statement. The way you phrase your statement above gives me a completely different reaction..

[Starry Messenger]

16. About what it means when anyone uses the term.

It means one is a bigot.

[BainsBane]

17. +1

[gwheezie]

21. Sums it up beautifully, nt

[CTyankee]

23. that's what I thought the translation was...exactly...

but the media treats it as an "opinion" worthy of serious discussion...

[Starry Messenger]

29. They want to see how HRC will react, I'm sure.

[CTyankee]

31. Oh, yeah they want a fight...

It's wonderful when people attack her because they don't realize that she is at her BEST when she is under attack. Donald should be smart enough to know that, but he doesn't...

[Warren Stupidity]

18. It is the immunity from the complaint that he is a sexist fuckwad card.

When a politician draws heat for either racist, sexist, or homophobic utterances, a good strategy is to attempt to "turn the tables" by whining and crying that the target of the racist, sexist, or homophobic utterances is unfairly using their race, gender, or sexual status to their advantage by being offended by the fuckwad's nasty words.

[annabanana]

24. Exactly and clearly put.

it's an attempt at innoculation

[CTyankee]

32. when the hell will any of them learn that this works well with one small smidgeon of

voters but turns off many, many more? It's ridiculous. It's like they think they can "grow" more voters by the rhetoric, when what they are actually doing is turning of 4 or 5 for every 1 they might gain...

[Warren Stupidity]

39. It actually works pretty well.

We keep forgetting that the GOP has been remarkably successful using bigotry and fear to convince a vast segment of the population to vote against their own self interests.

[CTyankee]

40. well, we don't know how many of "our" voters just don't show up at the polls...

so at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what people say it matters what they do, in this case VOTE...

[kimbutgar]

22. That's funny considering trump thinks women are cattle since he owns all the rights to beauty

Pageants. Which demean women and put them on display like a slab of beef.

[edhopper]

25. I think it's this one

[IMG][/IMG]

[SusanCalvin]

26. Now THAT'S a woman card! nt

[CTyankee]

34. there you go, ed! Mucha!

and of course, over the top beautiful...thanks for this...you made my day...

[edhopper]

37. Glad you liked it.

[Skittles]

28. it's when you have concerns about an issue not centered around rich white Christian males

"race card" falls into that category too

[spanone]

33. trump uses the 'rich asshole card'

[CTyankee]

35. he sure has a lot of them...but won't admit it...

[Lint Head]

36. The word "card" used after any word is an attempt

to degrade that word and frame an argument. Usually used by bigots and racists to deflect a truth but can be used with any noun. It's a new form of straw dogging with the attempt to derail an argument.

[kentuck]

41. A 'victim"?

I think that is what he is attempting to say.

[CTyankee]

42. i think so, too. But he's got it all mixed up with his remarks to Megyn Kelly and the

"bleeding from everywhere" and god knows what. Pure hatred of women.

How long is this tactic going to work?
