What is the difference between men and women? No – that’s not one of those trick questions meant to trip-up a Democrat nominee for the Supreme Court.

It’s an easy one. And it’s especially easy if you’re in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and North Carolina.

Because in all of these places the gap between men and women is clear. Across the country the difference in early voting between women and men is already glaring.

Among mail-in and in-person early votes cast across the country there is currently reckoned to be a ten-point gap between male and female voters, with 54% of such votes cast by women as opposed to just 44% by men.

But in the swing states the gap is higher. In Pennsylvania, as of yesterday, female voters were accounting for roughly 56% percent of the early vote, with male voters accounting for about 43% – a difference of 13%.

Which means that given the female voting lean towards Kamala and the male voting lean towards Trump, as of now the Republicans are not in the best position.

Of course it is interesting that it takes an election for the Democrats to become clear about what a woman is.

When it comes to high-school athletics or women’s sports in general the Dems are darned if they know, or care, about the difference. 

Hell, the Dems are even running a Veep candidate so unsure about what women are that he thinks boys need tampon dispensers in their bathrooms. Something that even “South Park’s” Eric Cartman eventually worked out wasn’t necessary.

But when it comes to targeting women as voters? Well then the Democrats are clear as anything about what women are. And as ruthless and crude as possible in trying to get their vote.

The Dems have particularly capitalized on the over-turning of Roe v. Wade – something which hit the Republicans badly in the mid-terms.

Since then the Dems have run fake story after fake story about the issue. All while railing against “misinformation” obviously.

Yesterday one of their cheerleaders – Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times – told women that they should think about stories like this one as they vote.

He wrote of “a struggling Nevada mom” who suffered a miscarriage. “Then the police show up and arrest her for manslaughter, and she’s sentenced to 2.5-8 years in prison.” 

According to Kristof only when a pro-bono lawyer turned up did this innocent mom manage to be set free “to return to her children.” He went on to ask “This is family values? Think as you vote.”

What Kristof failed to mention was that the Nevada mom in question smoked crystal meth while pregnant, admitted she had done this to kill the baby, that she did this in the third trimester.

Oh – and this happened in 2018, long before Roe v. Wade was overturned. Kristof either didn’t know or didn’t care about all of that. 

But still – women voters, know your place. And fight for the right of women to deliberately poison their babies with meth or else the Dems will call you Hitler.

In another example, just yesterday, one of Kamala Harris’s top surrogates, Mark Cuban, claimed in an interview: “Donald Trump – you never see him around strong, intelligent women.  Ever.  It’s just that simple.”  

Which is strange, because there were plenty of strong intelligent women at Madison Square Gardens on Sunday. Not least onstage, with speakers like Tulsi Gabbard.

These are nasty and vile tactics. But they have clearly worked in persuading some women voters to be super-mobilized in this election.

And so the early-voter turn-out difference is worrying news for the Republicans. Although Trump could still benefit from highlighting even more some of the strong, intelligent women around him, this is clearly a sex-based election.

But it is not only that. It is also a “get off you’re a— and get out and vote election.”

I was at the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. And while I was not surprised to see the Dems and their court-media write it up afterwards as a Hitlerian anti-Puerto Rican Nuremberg-style rally, none of these absurd claims should worry Republicans.

It is election season, and the fact that the Democrats’ final push of “joy” consists in claiming that all Republican voters are Hitler, “literal fascists” and, now, “garbage” does not suggest to me that the Democrats are feeling too confident.

The fact that lately they have even had to deploy their worst weapon and put Kamala Harris in front of some cameras is even more evidence that they’re not certain they have this in the bag.

But there was one aspect of the speeches by a number of the Republican speakers on Sunday – including President Trump – which might yet prove a mistake. This was the repeated insistence that the Republicans are leading in the polls “in all of the swing states.”

I understand why speakers at a Republican rally would want to make that claim. There are polls you can point to.

And after all, if you’re trying to rally a packed Madison Square Gardens then saying that things at the polls are looking dicey is about as energizing as sending a crowd off into the night to a Sinead O’Connor number. 

But the truth is that if Republican voters think that the swing states are already locked-in then the likelihood that they won’t bother to get out and vote is higher.

Especially given the greater tendency of male voters to sit at home and watch the game on TV in the assumption that other people will do the voting for them.

It’s a risky strategy, but it might be time for the Republicans and their surrogates to put a slightly different spin on their messaging.

Many women voters seem to have been persuaded by Democrat talking-points, and it is possible that they will put Kamala Harris and Tim Walz into the White House.

Making one of the most inept, inadequate tickets ever into the guardians of the free world. If you want that then sit around between now and the results.

But if you don’t, then get out and vote. Guys – it’s in your hands.
