5 Feet of Fury

Actually, guys, the real reason Trump won was because America has stuff like “a Steinhardt clinical associate professor of educational theatre who specializes in ethnodrama”

March 8, 2017 By Kathy Shaidle

I could have saved you all this work, guys, but I know you have to actually busy yourself with this stuff to get tenure and get paid and shit…

Thanks to Small Dead Animals for finding this:

Together, they developed Her Opponent, a production featuring actors performing excerpts from each of the three debates exactly as they happened—but with the genders switched. (…)

We both thought that the inversion would confirm our liberal assumption—that no one would have accepted Trump’s behavior from a woman, and that the male Clinton would seem like the much stronger candidate. But we kept checking in with each other and realized that this disruption—a major change in perception—was happening. I had an unsettled feeling the whole way through. (…)

Someone said that Jonathan Gordon [the male Hillary Clinton] was “really punchable” because of all the smiling. And a lot of people were just very surprised by the way it upended their expectations about what they thought they would feel or experience. There was someone who described Brenda King [the female Donald Trump] as his Jewish aunt who would take care of him, even though he might not like his aunt. Someone else described her as the middle school principal who you don’t like, but you know is doing good things for you.
