Julie Shayne blogs about Trump refusing to concede the election

IAS faculty member and Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies Faculty Coordinator Julie Shayne wrote a blog piece for Ms. Magazine about the patriarchal entitlement that allows Donald Trump to refuse to concede the election. In it she argues that if he were a woman this highly unprofessional and immature behavior would likely put an end to all future woman presidential candidate’s careers whereas no men’s political careers are going to be even slightly damaged by his behavior. Read “If Trump Were A Woman.”

This is not Shayne’s first blog post for Ms. Magazine. Most recently she wrote about trauma Trump inspired during and after the election, she has written about fifty years of GWSS, and about Trump bringing a new urgency to GWSS.
