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.

    I know who my wife is voting for, but even if she voted differently, I would love her the same. It would hurt if she lied about it though, because it would imply a lack of trust.

    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.

      They’ll pass laws that will give men an extra vote for each child they have (because they are “more invested in the future”) and while we’re at it let’s allow them to vote for the entire family to cut down on voting lines.

    It’s not hiding when it’s supposed to be a secret. A woman voting her own beliefs should be the first step out of that kind of controlling relationship.

      I have a relative who lives in subsidized housing and just got a new neighbor who is freshly divorced due to his wife being a Democrat. Sounds like she won for sure because from what I hear about this dude he sounds like a miserable, insufferable individual

      The guy who helped create the ad even says

      “They took a person’s sanctity of their ballot and turned it into a conversation about men owning the behaviors of the women in their life,” Pagitt said. “And like, well, I didn’t think you were going to make our point for us. We’re very grateful that you did.”

      This is why you should know who you marry before you get married.

      Stop letting regressive religion control your lives.

    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.

      They believe if you do not earn money or earn insignificant amount then you do not deserve to vote or have a say in politics. You can estimate their thoughts and actions based on this simple starting point.

    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.
