Donald Trump Jr. is joining Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in faux outrage over Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D-NY) tweet about the future being female.
Good to know. My girls will be excited about this. When is it appropriate to let my boys (9, 7 and 6 years old) that there’s no future for them?
Not sure this is a winning platform but you be you. https://t.co/pCu0GbPyAi

“The future is female” is a feminist slogan dating back to the 1970s, which has been re-appropriated by women in recent years.
Gillibrand’s tweet which sparked the male outrage also listed the future as “intersectional” and “powered by our belief in one another.”
Our future is:
Female
Intersectional
Powered by our belief in one another.And we’re just getting started.
