"Misogynist," Top Google Search Today?




Checking out google trends today, interested to find one of the top searches is the word "misogynist." Not sure whether to take that as a positive development or a depressing one. I guess a lot of people had actually never heard the word before Elton John said it in the news last night?

Elton John claims 'misogynist' Americans are hindering Hillary Clinton

Sir Elton John has staged a fundraising concert for US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and claimed that the “misogynistic attitudes” of Americans may be hindering her bid for the White House...

The top ten Google trends are s a barometer of what's going on around the world.

Elton is misinformed. Misogyny has nothing to do with Hillary's problem with voters. Her frequent miss-speaks, are what have made her suspect; she lies for no earthly reason at all. I am disappointed to find out she does lie, because the two most most important qualities of any politician to me--silly me--are honesty and integrity.
No, she did not fly into Bosnia under gunfire, and now she tries to play the victim card. She and other Hillary supporters say " they don't like me because I'm a woman," which is simply not true. She can't be both victim and tough.

How dare Elton John scold Americans and call us misogynistic in our search for the next American President when he is a confirmed homosexual. What's his problem with women? The first Elton John album I ever purchased was titled, "Mad Man Across the Water." Looks like the Mad Man has arrived in our Great US of A!!!!!!

I will probably regret going into this later but right now this bothers me so I am going to speak (type??) my peace --
@ richard taylor
What the hell does Elton John's sexual preference have to do with him speaking his mind? Why is what he does in his private life have to do with how he views the world and Americans role in it.


That said Mr John is very very far off-base. As bling girl pointed out most voters that don't like her don't even brooch the subject of her being a female presidential hopeful. Most that aren't supporting her wouldn't support her anyway. She happens to be a polarizing figure and like it or not that has nothing to do with her lack of a Y chromosome.

Anyone bored with this election yet a la 50, I know I am. They need to hurry this shit the hell up.

I can't say whether or not there has been misogyny towards Hillary, as a dude I don't want to tell a woman what misogyny is. Saying that, I think her being a Clinton had more to do with it but I am sure some misogyny is in there.

Don't mean she should be president though.

I didn't vote against Hillary because she's a woman. I voted against her because she's a bitch.
