Trump's $5,000 Promise Meets Misogynistic Framing on Fox

Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi argues Fox News host Jesse Watters framed Trump’s proposed $5,000 checks as an “enticement” akin to a woman, a misogynistic dig that distracts from the policy’s vagueness and funding questions. She notes the plan would require unfunded promises and could add to debt and inflation, citing economists who doubt how it would be financed. The piece also emphasizes that the real story is Trump’s willingness to meddle with elections and weaken safeguards, against a backdrop of broader misogynistic rhetoric in right‑wing media.

GOP hopeful's misogynistic past tests Texas congressional race

CNN reports Brandon Herrera, a Texas GOP congressional candidate and online personality known as 'The AK Guy,' has a lengthy history of crude, misogynistic comments about women, including demeaning feminists and gun-safety advocates, as well as explicit remarks. Herrera describes the remarks as jokes, while some Republicans back him amid a race in a district where the incumbent resigned amid a House Ethics probe and a female Democrat challenger is running. Democrats have targeted the seat, hoping Herrera’s past could hurt him; the race centers on gun rights and border security, with Herrera facing scrutiny over his online persona and comments.

Ossoff’s Natalie Harp remark exposes the gender-politics double standard

Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi argues that Jon Ossoff’s jab at Natalie Harp highlights lingering misogyny in political discourse, noting conservatives’ defense of Harp often centers on gender rather than conduct while treating her as a controversial figure tied to Trump. The piece frames the debate as less about hostility to a woman and more about power, professionalism, and how gender shapes coverage. It also touches on Trump’s attacks on a female journalist and briefly rounds up other items in the week’s Patriarchy column, including New York’s Parents’ Night Out and ongoing humanitarian and geopolitical crises.

Supergirl Flop Reframes the Debate: It Was Marketing and Apathy, Not Men

An opinion piece argues that blaming misogyny for Supergirl's underperformance is a simplistic, misleading narrative; with 59% of the audience male and 41% female, the film's failure is better explained by weak marketing and overall apathy, not an active male conspiracy, and suggests studios focus on better writing and direction instead of blaming 'invisible enemies'.
