Politika i ljubav
What happens when you’re a feminist and you fall in love with a Trump supporter
by CHIARA TOLLEY
The morning of June 24th, 2016. The whole country was scared, worried, devastated or at least a bit shocked.
Except my boyfriend. He was positively gleeful.
Brexit, Trump and every other political movement people seem to dislike, he aligns with. The problem is I’m a feminist, so we don’t exactly make the perfect match.
We’d met at Sixth Form, where he was our student president. I disliked him at first, muttering under my breath whenever he made a sexist ‘joke’ in class.
But you don’t meet many teenage Thatcherites, especially not in Sheffield, and I was fascinated as to how a 21st century teenager could think like him. So I started talking to him. He said “no” when I asked him if he was a feminist, yet seemed to agree that men and women are of equal worth and value. Despite the un-ironic obsession with Nigel Farage, he was genuine, warm and charismatic.
I expected him to trip up somewhere, reveal a hidden alt-right dungeon with a Beyoncé dart board and an EDL membership card. He didn’t. We disagreed on almost everything, but that’s what made him interesting. I started to see the actual human person behind the vote leave badge, something I’d never tried to do before.
After they got over the initial shock of our ‘opposites attract’ relationship, the main reaction to him from my friends and family has been baffled amusement. Upon meeting him for the first time, one of my closest friends, who’s bisexual, got into an argument with him after he claimed her sexuality didn’t exist. Despite this, they’re now both good friends.
Introducing him to my parents was also a fun experience, especially the bit where I had to tell my ex-miner dad that my new boyfriend has a poster of dear Maggie Thatcher on his bedroom wall. But they respected my choice, and he now gets on brilliantly with my family, as I do with his.
Am I a bad feminist for dating him? A failed ally to my LGBT friends? I don’t think so, and I know no one else who does. We can’t change people, but we can teach them, and our relationship has been a learning curve for the both of us about tolerance, judgement and Jacob Rees-Mogg.
I no longer define someone’s intelligence or moral compass based purely on what they do in a polling station, and I like to think he’s mellowed slightly as well.
After all, I might be dating a Trump supporter, but he’s dating a feminist.

moj prijatelj je u braku sa svojom zenom :D
a ideoloski protivnik, ma zajebi, ja sam hodao s jednom koja je bila zagrizena u marksizam, samo radnicka elita moze vodit radnike u bolje sutra i ta sranja a nikad radila neki sljakerski posao, uglavnom neke idolosko partijske, reko ajd ti mala odjebi, u nasoj vezi ne moze biti politike, mozemo pricat o heklanju bausteli pomoru zelenoustih zaba al o politici , odjeb
mene je zvala anarhistom i po njoj bi to bilo stanje kaosa jer drzavni aparat mora cvrstom rukom upravljat,
reko mene drzava moze uhvatit za k,,, i vikat trst je nas skupa s tobom
zakljucak, ako se dvije osobe ideoloski ne slazu i ako je samo jedna od njih agresivnija sa ideologijom to je veza zakurac,
savjet, ako ides sa zenskom na veceru ne spominji politiku, bivse veze i vrstu serija koje volis jer si se sjebo

Sve to ovisi moguce je ako netko ne persira sa svojim odabirom drugu osobu. Jerbo ako je jedno u vezi agresivni kreten koji non stop drobi o svome i u svakoj raspravi poteze ta sranja onda tu nema kruha.

Tipično ljevičarsko proseravanje. "Više ne pocjenjuje nečiju pamet na osnovi glasovanja." Dajme, najme.

Re: Politika i ljubav
a otkud joj to da i neke feministice nisu glasale za trampa?! Mislim ipak da je u njih veci "problem" razlika u inteligenciji, a to uopce nije prepreka za dobar seks.

ali ipak malom bi savjetovo da sjedne u auto, ubaci u prvu i izveze se iz te veze. I ne okreci se sine
