"A new trend has emerged in American politics: The very youngest voters — 18-to-24-year-olds — say they’re more conservative than the cohort that’s just older,” according to the latest Harvard Youth Poll.
“This new trend — which is true for both genders and emerged only in the last few years — is especially pronounced with men.”
It doesn’t help that men literally cannot complain about their issues online without being called an incel. It’s so overused that it’s lost all meaning. The left needs to do better for young men than “Shut up women have it worse”
*Obviously women DO have it worse, we just need to work on the messaging.
In what ways? That’s important.
For example, we’re WAY better at killing ourselves.
That’s the wrong question, and that’s why they’re all turning to right wing but jobs.
Boy kid gets online and says, I have X problem…he’s immediately downvoted to oblivion and a deluge of “but women have it worse.”
But there’s one dude in that noise that says, I have that problem too…have you heard of Andrew Tate (or whoever the hot grifter is).
We need to take these kids seriously if you want them to be well rounded adults. Otherwise they’re just going to keep leaking out to the extremists.
It literally couldn’t be less important. We shouldn’t be fighting about what makes us different or run the Oppression Olympics. That’s literally what the ‘elite’ want cause it stops organization against them.
Far better use of everyones’ time would be find a cause that helps everyone, not just themselves.
Men don’t need to fight legal battles for basic bodily autonomy, for example.
That is a good example and heavily informs my voting habits.
Well…try getting a vasectomy when you’re under 30. It’s possible, but it isn’t easy.
In my 40s I had to have a signed document from my wife giving me permission.
I had mine at 26 and wasn’t even married. No kids. Had one interview where the doctor made sure I was properly informed, had the procedure done like the next week or something when the schedule had an opening.
In a very conservative state too. Not Missouri conservative… But definitely not California either. Lol This was nearly 10 years ago. No regrets.
I got one easily
Also there’s no laws being passed to make it illegal.
