vlwelser I'm really enjoying this one. I love her read on Michelle Obama's hairstyle and the possible message she was sending. 3d
Hooked_on_books I really liked the first essay this week. But then, just about anything starting with Michelle Obama tends to be good. I thought the second essay was also good but have an issue with what essentially sounded to me like blaming liberal white women for Trump‘s 2016 election win. There are so many voting blocks you can look at to see the differences from 2012 to 2016 that contributed to that election result. 🔽 3d
Hooked_on_books Yes, far too many white women voted for that horrific man, which is frankly why I think a lot of liberal white women participated in the Women‘s March—horror over him being in office. My mother in law is a hard core conservative (though not a Trump fan), and there would have been no way to get her to vote for Hillary. (I don‘t know how she voted.) So to simply say it‘s because we didn‘t get our group voting right doesn‘t hold water. 3d
staci.reads I ended up having to settle for audio again, so I'm struggling to add to the comments with anything specific about the chapters, but I am really enjoying this one. I feel like this book is a "shut up and listen" experience. I am learning so much. 2d
staci.reads @vlwelser I loved her insight on that as well. I really want to believe her interpretation of the inauguration day hair is accurate! 2d
staci.reads @Hooked_on_books That part was hard for me to hear as well. I respect her for sharing her feelings about the Women's March. I guess, though, I'd like to ask her what kind of protest white women who didn't vote for the orange man could have done that would have felt appropriate to her. I don't mean that in a snarky way. I am truly curious. 2d
Hooked_on_books @staci.reads I‘d like to know that, too. I know a lot of us white women are devastated and embarrassed at so many white women voting for him. Plus, she also mentioned earlier that we‘re all stronger together, which I completely agree with. I do fully understand her frustration with the majority of white women. 2d
