Is Donald Trump a Misogynist?
You have to marvel at the ease with which our fellow Americans who call themselves progressive label those with whom they differ as sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist and bigoted. I always wonder: Do they believe it? Or do they say it because they lack intellectual arguments? I have come to believe that both are true. As a student of the left since graduate school at the Harriman Institute at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, I am more aware than most people of how old and ubiquitous this mode of attack is.
