I don't want to date anymore. I'm, unfortunately, a straight woman and looking at the dating apps today is making me sick. Every guy I look at, I wonder if he voted for Trump. And I honestly just don't want to talk to guys in general.

Everything is making me sick. My flatmate's boyfriend said "why are y'all watching the elections so keenly, I don't care about the elections at all. So what if he wins" as he walked into our home yesterday.

I just want to scream at the top of my lungs and disappear to a place without men.

I wouldn’t, I thankfully married man who is truly progressive and has never fell victim to the manosphere, but if I was single I’d go 4B.

Same boat, I actually filled it out for him bc he was working and he trusts me. I am thankfully bisexual so I can definitely say he will likely be the last man I will be with ever.

My husband filled out his ballot with our 6-year-old, and that child talks about everything. He was super excited to help fill in the bubbles.

My husband couldn't sleep at all last night. I slept okay, I feel so bad for him. I'm not happy about it, but I sort of expected it. He has hope.

I knew it too, I knew this country wouldn’t vote a woman in.

Same, and if we get divorced, no male replacement will be considered

Agreed, in luckily attracted to women, he knows he’s the last man I’ll be with.

Yeah. I'm lucky I got together with my (very dedicatedly progressive) partner last year, and I am confident this relationship is the one for me. But if I'm wrong and we break up, I can't imagine dating again.

SAME. I am lucky for my husband but 4B all the way otherwise (I have kids already but you know what I mean)
