The Kamala Harris campaign is focusing like a laser beam on single women.
That is the absolute definition of her campaign. She’s going to try to run up the gender gap to the highest levels ever seen in the history of American politics, not on the back of married women, but on the back of single ladies.
There’s a fascinating piece from the American Enterprise Institute circa 2023 by Samuel J. Abrams, who is a professor of politics at Sarah Lawrence College, and Joel Kotkin, the executive director of the Urban Reform Institute.
Here’s what they say in terms of American politics:
Unmarried women without children have been moving toward the Democratic Party for several years, but the 2022 midterms may have been their electoral coming-out party as they proved the chief break on the predicted Republican wave. While married men and women as well as unmarried men broke for the GOP, CNN exit polls found that 68% of unmarried women voted for Democrats.
That is, in fact, its own voter bloc. Those are percentages equivalent in their magnitude to what you would perceive as a giant, self-interested voter bloc: single ladies.
The number of unmarried women in American society has dramatically increased over the course of the past several decades. The number of never-married women grew from about 20% in 1950 to over 30% in 2022, and the percentage of married women has declined from almost 70% in 1950 to under 50% today.
Single ladies have decided that they are their own voter bloc. Pew recently found, “Men are far more likely than women to be on the dating market: 61% of single men say they are currently looking for a relationship or dates, compared with 38% of single women.”
And while married men and married women are far more likely than unmarried females to think that women are well-treated or equally treated, it turns out that younger, discontented single women are developing something of a group consciousness, according to Abrams and Kotkin.
They state, “Nearly two-thirds of women under 30 see what happens to other women as critical to their own lives. Among women over 50, this mindset shrinks to less than half.”
In other words, if you are an older, married woman, you tend to see yourself in the context of your family. And if you’re an unmarried, young single woman, you tend to see a certain level of female solidarity, which makes some sense because when you are a single, somewhat-atomized individual of any sort, you tend to try to find a community of like-minded people.

As that ideology and constituency grows, it tends to form its own voter bloc. As AEI writes, “The key driver of these attitudes may be universities, where feminist ideology often holds powerful sway. Women now predominate on college campuses. In the late 1960s they were about 39% of college graduates; now they are about 59%. The percentage of full-time female professors has risen dramatically; at the full professor level the percentage has grown by roughly one-third.”
Abrams and Kotkin cite the National Center for Education Statistics’ research, explaining that “the number of Women and Gender Studies degrees in the United States has increased by more than 300% since 1990.”
“Married people account for 77% of all homeowners,” they continue. “Married women tend also to do far better professionally and economically.” Meanwhile, in terms of the rate of marriage, “those without spouses have declined by 15% over the past four decades.” And single-parent households do far worse than that.
It turns out that, economically speaking, married women tend to do better than single women.
So what you have here is a disaffected constituency which the Democratic Party is honing in on like a laser beam.
The campaign is trying to find white men who are going to pay homage to Kamala Harris as a woman to make all the single ladies feel really good. And then they’re trying to find white women who are willing to pay homage to Harris as a black woman.
This is full intersectionality on display in the Harris campaign. If you like what you’re seeing in the campaign, get ready for that in the presidency. Intersectionality is the theory that everyone is describable by their group characteristics, and we can then rank how we ought to treat people based on their level of victimization, based on those group characteristics.
For example, they will argue white women are more victimized than white men. Black women are more victimized than white women. That means that a white woman can’t speak to a black woman and a white man can’t speak to a white woman. If you like that in the campaign, get ready for that in the presidency because this is absolutely what the Harris candidacy stands for.
On Monday night, the Harris campaign met with a group called White Dudes for Kamala. Roughly 30,000 men showed up on this Zoom call.
This was not a group of people who were just supportive of Harris. It was a struggle session in which white dudes declared themselves subservient to both women and also to black women because this is the essence of intersectionality. Every speaker was an upper-class, college-educated or extraordinarily wealthy Hollywood liberal who talked about how, because of their privilege, they had to demonstrate to the world that Harris was the candidate for them — not because she is well-qualified, not because she is amazing at her job, and not because they agree with her policies, but because it is just so important based on intersectional characteristics to support Kamala Harris.
They were simping for Kamala.
What was this White Dudes for Kamala about? It was certainly not about reaching out to white dudes. It was about reaching out to single ladies. It was about establishing a hierarchy within the Kamala Harris campaign where white dudes are going to come on, Game of Thrones style, on bended-knee, to plead for their lives in the Kingdom of Kamala.
This isn’t about driving male votes out. This is about driving female votes out. The reason for that is because Kamala Harris has only one issue where she has an advantage against Donald Trump.
She’s running behind him on the economy. She’s running behind him on immigration. She’s running behind him on foreign policy. She’s running behind him on pretty much everything crime-related.
There’s one area where she’s consistently running ahead of Donald Trump: abortion.
The entire Harris campaign is going to be about lady parts and abortion.
And you need to pay homage to Kamala Harris because she is a woman.
