Gail Collins at the NYT has the typical "Hillary Lost Because She's a Woman" column. But, I got a kick out of this comment, which was the second-highest rated of them all:

quote:
This tragic 2016 'election' - (and the 2000 'election before it) - was made possible by the careful male preservation of the 1800's white, male aristocratic invention of the Electoral College (no woman need apply there either, except to serve coffee and tea).

We just finished 'electing' one of America's most award-winning misogynists and gropers of female body parts who consistently championed the glory of his lifelong Male Inferiority Complex in every year of his life.

He was propelled to victory by a sea of angry white males suffering their own Male Inferiority Complexes as they failed to adapt to reality, modernity and the American notions of equal opportunity and justice for all.

“No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.”
? Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

This is a dark right-wing chapter in American and American male history.

As a white man myself ( ) who voted for Hillary Clinton, I can only say to all decent Americans that we shall eventually overcome this white male American nightmare of a President-Elect and an electorate.

As MLK said "I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land."

America and Americans stand on the shoulders of Susan B. Anthony, Cady Stanton, Martin Luther King Jr. and Hillary Rodham Clinton who all pushed us painfully, achingly forward to a better union.

I'm With Hillary, the popular-vote President.

This guy hates what he sees in his mirror every day.
