So, it turns out we weren’t the only ones who saw this coming. As Twitchy reported, on Election Day, white man and Hillary superfan Peter Daou was imploring everyone to vote like a black woman (whatever that was supposed to mean). We didn’t need more of those white women who were voting Republican to please their husbands — just another excuse Hillary Clinton gave for her 2016 loss.
And now that the blue wave didn’t exactly come crashing down, the “vagina shaming” of conservative women has begun. Rolling Stone’s Jamil Smith blamed white women for voting “as if patriarchy would protect them,” and Marisa Kabas declared that “white women uphold white supremacy through their vote.”
So we have to hand it to Washington Examiner commentary writer Tiana Lowe who called it Tuesday:
First it was Fake News. Then it was Russia. Now it's abolishing the Electoral College & justice for the "popular House vote." Tomorrow, white women will become the Left's scapegoat. Here's my take on the "Becky situation" (as coined by Tamika Mallory). https://t.co/rUAmrOh2mH

Leading up to today, two narratives have emerged from the Left. First is the statistically probable one — namely that the blue wave is significantly contingent on suburban white women swinging left, in tandem with voter turnout. On the other side of the coin is the excuse: If Democrats lose, it’s because fragile, complicit white women couldn’t leave the kitchen long enough to vote against their husbands.
This isn’t a straw man. It’s their actual argument. Tamika Mallory, Women’s March organizer and Louis Farrakhan BFF, calls the demographic trend of white women voting for Republicans their “Becky situation.”
…
Best yet, Jen Kirkman warned white women, “Vote like your husbands aren’t watching.” Because naturally, all white women still live in a kitchen in Victorian England. Or modern-day Iran.
Demographics aren't destiny. People don't vote with their skin colors, & suburban women aren't enslaved by their husbands. They will & should vote how they please. Unremarkably, their vote will be split, as not all white women have the same interests. https://t.co/rUAmrOh2mH

Fear not, I'm an equal opportunity critic. The dregs of the MAGAlytes have been just as insultingly patronizing towards suburban & white women. Just read the most infantilizing piece of this election cycle! But the left is vilifying, not courting. https://t.co/rUAmrOh2mH pic.twitter.com/Gca22DqHMb

My takeaway: everyone, not just white women, should advance criminal justice reform & an economic agenda to help lift at-risk minorities from the economic legacy of Jim Crow laws, redlining, & slavery. But that involves compromise, not vilification. https://t.co/rUAmrOh2mH

So of course what we got from the Left was vilification. White women, it’s your fault that rock star politician Beto O’Rourke lost.
That was prescient.

You've been on target throughout this entire thing. Your tweets give me life.

I’m a white woman who’s already being vilified because I dared to run for office as a Republican. I’ve been called every name in the book and had doors slammed in my face. But I love my state, I love my country, and I will not stop because they want me to sit down and shut up.

They were already starting with the white women rhetoric a few days ago.

@instapundit @instapundit Well, no matter how it turns out..they can vilify me all they want. I don't vote based on my gender. And I'm sure I don't deserve, nor would I want their praise. The only women they support are the ones who fall in line exactly with the way they think.

These charts certainly are making the rounds among leftists Wednesday:
White women: footsoldiers of the patriarchy.
Brian Kemp: 76%
Ted Cruz: 59%
Ron DeSantis: 51% pic.twitter.com/1RTZlppkiZ— Mona Eltahawy (@monaeltahawy) November 7, 2018
