How Trump Has Used Debates to Belittle Women
Briefly

From the earliest days of his presidential candidacy in 2015 to a Trump Tower news conference on Friday, Donald J. Trump has repeatedly attempted to attack, embarrass and threaten the women standing in his way especially on the debate stage.
Mr. Trump has used his physical presence and body language to intimidate women, made veiled threats, complained that they were uniquely mean and belittled their qualifications in a way that many women view as open sexism.
In fact, the first time he ever spoke of a female presidential candidate on a debate stage, it was to brag about the control he had over her.
Mr. Trump has honed a playbook of explicitly gendered attacks against both female candidates and journalists that he is likely to draw from on Tuesday when he debates Vice President Kamala Harris.
