The French Presidential election is being held on Sunday, May 7. It features left wing candidate Emmanuel Macron and right wing candidate Marine Le Pen. If a French liberal opposes Ms Le Pen on legitimate political grounds, can he still vote against her without being a misogynist?

Yes, that's why I'm not a misogynist for voting against Hillary.

That's why liberalism is appealing, it isn't really a standard. It's not "amoral", but immoral. That's why the same people who worshiped baby seals in my youth now worship polar bears, who seem to eat all the baby seals they can catch.

French have a different viewon that misogyny thing. They have long admired female leaders and innovators whether it be Joan of Arc or Marie Curie. They also believe in "Viva la difference!" meaning thank god men and women are different.
This election is really about whether or not a majority of the French are sick and tired of the current course of immigration, subjagation of the French way of life to Brussels and having non elected functionaries rule their lives vs. losing a few entitlements and perks. The Socialists have made sure that EVERYONE in France gets some perk. That way, when it comes time to cut, no one will go for it because "don't take mine!" becomes the battle cry.
Macron will win unless LePen has 95% turnout for her people and Macron's are indifferent.
