"Trump likes to move on women. He also apparently likes to fire them. …

It’s striking that Trumpist authoritarianism has been accompanied by gross sexism and racism and that Trumpist autocracy is attended by unabashed hostility to women’s equality and freedom. It’s a reminder that gender and racial equality are part of human equality….:
