Berben surprised: Women vote for Trump? A call for rethinking!
The acting icon Hannelore Berben is stunned by the election of former President Donald Trump by numerous women. In a recent conversation, she expressed her incomprehension about how it is possible that a person with such a controversial agenda and a striking demeanor can be elected by many women. Berben feels that something is wrong in the perception and values of women. This inspired her to take a closer look at today's image of women and to question alternative social ideals. As Bietigheimer Zeitung reports, Berben calls on women to sharpen their thinking and “train their brains”, instead of just focusing on superficial ideals of beauty.
Berben's statement comes in an interesting context, particularly with regard to current women's roles and social perceptions in politics. According to a survey on the 2024 US election, it is clear that women made up a significant proportion of 50% of those eligible to vote and did not always position themselves uniformly in their elections. The poll found that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump were each elected by different proportions of women, highlighting the tensions and differences within the female electorate. However, according to Statista, the proportion of women voting for Trump was higher than many expected, which explains Berben's disbelief.
Challenges and opportunities for women
Berben's views raise the question of what values are held by women today and how these values affect voting behavior. She emphasizes the importance that women today are not only valued for their external appearance, but should also present themselves as minds and thinkers in society. This challenge is particularly relevant at a time when political decisions and their impact on gender relations are increasingly being discussed.
While the Statista survey illustrates the complexity of voting behavior, Berben makes it clear that it is important for women to find a voice and to question themselves which ideals they embody and want to support. The actress appeals to women to recognize their own power and to actively bring it into political processes.
