Iâve noticed that there are a lot of âWomen for SoAndSoâ signs at campaign rallies. But I donât think Iâve ever seen any âMen for SoAndSoâ signs. So I decided to investigate this sexism. I checked the official websites of the major candidates to find all of the gender specific merchandise available. I found lots of womenâs stuff but little for men. (There is some âLatinos For Trumpâ merchandise, but I suspect they mean âLatinosâ as a general term and not as gender specific. Warren’s campaign covered all bases with âLatinas With Warren,â âLatinos With Warren,â and âLatinx With Warren.â
Here is the list of women-specific merchandise from the campaign websites. I found nothing on the Sanders and Klobuchar sites. (Also, oddly I found a lot of LGBTQ products on all sites, but little for men.)
Are any of the candidates interested in getting menâs votes?
âWomen For Bidenâ T-shirts
âWomenâs Rightsâ T-shirts, buttons
âNo More Gender Inequalityâ tote bags, stickers, t-shirts
âOur Voice, Our Choiceâ with Female sign  t-shirts
âWomen For Mikeâ t-shirts, buttons
âWage War on Wage Gapsâ t-shirts
âWomenâs Reproductive Freedom is an American Rightâ T-shirts
âWomen for Peteâ caps
Nothing
Nothing
âWomen For Trumpâ caps, T-shirts, bumper stickers, signs, buttons
 Warren
âValue the Work of Black Womenâ T-shirts
âIâm Running for President Because Thatâs What Girls Doâ T-shirts
âRunning for President. Thatâs What Girls Doâ T-shirts
âWomen With Warrenâ posters, T-shirts, tote bags
âNevertheless We Persistâ T-shirts, hoodies
âBlack Women With Warrenâ T-shirts
âLatinas With Warrenâ T-shirts
âPersistâ mugs
Great article and thanks for doing that research. You are exactly right — men make up just under half of voters, why are we not cared about?
You will also notice that most candidates sites, mailings, as well as that of the major parties, has a women’s issues section. No such section for men, and I think we need to change that.
It is time for ALL candidates to be accountable to men’s issues!
