Given the way he's spoken about women throughout his campaign and his entire career, it's no surprise the female demographic is generally not in favor of Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, data scientist Nate Silver tweeted a map of what the election would look like if only women voted and what it would look like if only men voted.
Here's what the map would look line if only women voted: https://t.co/sjVY67qouE pic.twitter.com/rrc3GuXmGl

As you can see, the Trump camp is overwhelmingly male — which gave them an idea. What if women aren't allowed to vote?
Someone replied to Silver with the hashtag #RepealThe19th, referring to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, The Los Angeles Times reports.
@NateSilver538 Women are not fit for politics. #RepealThe19th

What followed was an absurd string of sexist tweets.
Give out nice enough handbags and most broads would gladly trade their voting rights for one. #repealthe19th

This is why we need to repeal and not replace the 19th amendment. #RepealThe19th https://t.co/bV4WnbgQ2H

@emmaroller men should never have given women the right to vote #RepealThe19th

This doesn't seem to be a joke. Trump supporters were using the hashtag long before Silver's maps were even shared to argue that women are unfit voters.
Women reacting to @HillaryClinton with tears, exaggerated "you go girl" cheers, &c. is a solid argument for why we need to #RepealThe19th.

Just when we thought the Trump camp had reached peaked misogyny, they've managed to surprise us again.
On the bright side, Trump opponents have hijacked the hashtag to voice their disapproval and even got a few good jokes out of it.
In response to a study showing Trump would win if only men voted, some of his backers are tweeting #RepealThe19th. DEPLORABLE. #WomenSaveUs

Literally the ONLY thing that surprises me about #RepealThe19th is that Trump supporters know there are more than 2 amendments.

#repealthe19th This is why the only group that trump leads in the polls is uneducated white men.

#RepealThe19th is trending which is an excellent way for the #Trump campaign to prove just how supportive of women their voters are.
