Trump is using his assault on government to retaliate against women | Judith Levine
Briefly

A federal judge recently ruled against the Justice Department's attempt to rescind $3.2 million in grants to the American Bar Association, agreeing that the move was retaliatory for the ABA’s opposition to Trump. The blocked funding supports the training of lawyers in domestic and sexual violence cases. This incident exemplifies a pattern of Trump's aggression against women, which has been marked by explicit threats and a departure from conventional political discourse. Trump's hostility extends to direct actions against women’s rights and protections, raising concerns about ongoing enforcement lapses on critical issues like abortion.
The court agreed with the ABA's claim that the administration was retaliating against it for taking public stances against Donald Trump.
Trump's anti-feminism owes more to the gleeful vulgarity and implicit threats of violence of 4chan than the traditional debate over what a woman's role should be.
