Apparently Greta thinks white women are the only women who count.

Hillary Clinton won among women by about 14 percentage points, according to exit polls.1 The only candidate since 1964 to win the womens vote by a larger margin was Bill Clinton, who won womens votes by about 20 points on the way to his landslide re-election in 1996. Bill Clinton, however, also won (barely) among men. Hillary Clinton lost mens votes by 12.5 percentage points, the worst Democratic loss among men since 1988.
While its not unusual for men and women to vote very differently, 2016 was in a class by itself. Between 1980, when Democrats first began to enjoy a comparative advantage among women, and 2012, the average gender gap2 in presidential elections was 15 percentage points. In 2016, the gender gap was 26.5 percentage points. Thats larger than its been in any year since at least 1952, and it blows away the old record of 20 percentage points in 1996.

And her whole point was wrong -- that the Women Marchers today aren't representative of most women, because most women went for DT.
