How sexism drives support for Donald Trump

I don't grasp your second point. Of course, you might likely be sexist if you answered "none" to your second question, since women advocating for equality do indeed think women should sign up for the selective service if men have to.

Who would answer "none" except someone who supposed women are angling for favors rather than rights and the responsibilities which come with them? I.e., a sexist.

The article doesn't suggest that everyone voting for Trump is a sexist. Rather, if you are sexist, then Trump's rhetoric will seem attractive, or if sexism is a problem low on your priorities, his sexism will not bother you enough to reject him as a candidate.

It is very difficult, though, to imagine why someone who thinks women's equality is an important value would vote for Trump.

Admittedly should have said "Much less?" instead of "None?"

Neither of the candidates are probably really appealing if women's equality is one of your primary concerns.

Trump for obvious reasons, and Clinton because she worked closely with, is friendly with, and took lots of "donations" from Middle East leaders who would have a woman beheaded for showing their face in public. Places where honor killings, throwing acid in women's faces, and genital mutilation are a thing.
