Given the left in general (and the Democratic party in particular) has spent the last decade or so painting men as villains and typical male behavior as "toxic", it is no wonder GenZ has had enough. Good for them. Hopefully the Democrats begin to recognize that equal rights was never supposed to be a zero-sum game. You can in fact empower all people regardless of gender.
A great example: the Bill Maher interview the other night with Laura Coates and Buck Sexton. In the segment, the topic was specifically the problem Democrats have with men in that they simply can't speak to the problems men have and they are unable to define masculinity in anything but toxic terms. Each and every time Buck would note a positive masculine trait, you had Coates chiming in with "women can do that too" ... totally missing the point and totally illustrating the problem Democrats have: you're allowed to celebrate positive feminine traits ... and mainstream does it ALL.THE.TIME ... but you are never allowed to speak of - let alone celebrate - positive masculine traits (unless they are through the lens of women).
No wonder men are giving up on the left. Good. It's about time. Clearly they don't want us around anyway (as their mainstream entertainment & educational institutions clearly show). If they don't want us around, then clearly they don't need our votes either.
Makes me ashamed of my gender. The driving force of women is “Reproductive rights” which is actually abortion if these women were being honest. There’s absolutely nothing “Reproductive” about aborting thousands of babies per day. Maybe these women are too ill educated to even understand that. This demographic is clearly demonstrating the horrors of our education system.
If this article is correct, and I’m not sure it is, are most women truly this dense that that they would vote for a woman like Harris who has such a low intellect that even her own party didn’t like her until 5 minutes ago. Plus she’s for every policy that causes more women to be harmed and marginalized in their communities. It’s beyond stupid. What a disappointing representation of young women. They’re led by the nose by politicians.
Women are mainly emotional voters. They are the targets of “it’s for the children, the Republicans will grow granny off the cliff, the republicans are too dumb to lead, if only Republicans would cross the aisle and join us. Men are mainly logical, thinking, protective voters. They will protect the very women that put them down and spit on them.
After Oct 7th and the adjacent TFP article about sex traffic resulting from the Biden/Harris border opening it's obvious these ladies are just not concerned about their peers of other cultures. How racist!
I'd love to see a more in depth look at the fact women have moved Left further and faster, than men have moved Right. That's the most fascinating part of all this.
The male-female split article demonstrates something not talked about in the press. If the GOP had been smart enough to dump Trump, the issues would have led to a GOP sweep. But the cult took over and destroyed the GOP. My futile write-in vote for Liz Cheney, probably won't even be counted!
First. A slightly more careful analysis shows that the implicit consequence of your snobbery is a vote for the dumb Harris. I don't think that's the right choice.
Second. If I had the opportunity to vote, I would vote for Trump given almost any alternative, because the alternative is yet another representative of the political elite, who have proven their total incompetence and complete lack of common sense with all their actions over the past 16 years. It's surprising to me that there are still smart people who point-blank fail to see this.
With the recent Supreme Court decision, abortion has become a state issue. Why are so many women convinced that electing one of the candidates will change anything?
There will be no national abortion law. What can a President do about abortion other than talk?
It would be nice to discuss issues for what they are - economic, geopolitical, governance, etc. - instead of focusing on ourselves and our differences. Many issues that cross this gender chasm are out there: cost of living, needless international bloodshed, rising poverty, home ownership.... my hope is that these challenges will eventually pull us together to fight for a better United States.
I understand that abortion is important to many women, but sorry there are many more important issues. The dems are gaslighting you with an emotional issue so you ignore what is really important.
Abortion was returned to the states where it belongs so fight that battle at the state level, that’s where you win, while still keeping a focus on what is really important.
While I'm all for "Economic and intellectual freedom", I think that for a lot of women the abortion issue is a "deal breaker", and for them turning the issue back to the states doesn't make any more sense than turning the issue of slavery back to the states.
I will just say that I disagree with you about abortion returning to the states for a lot of reasons. I think it is probably for the best in the long run.
Abortion is done as a national issue for at least a few decades. No bill is going to get out of congress or the senate and get a presidential signature and THEN pass the Supreme Court. More, neither party will want a bill that will. The democrats will want the issue to campaign and raise funds on, to motivate their base, and will push bills that they know will never pass just to virtue signal. Never mind that the immigrant voters they are chasing are largely socially conservative on things like abortion etc. Even were they to have the house, the senate and the White House, they will not do it, no more than they solved the immigration problem when they had all the power last time. The republicans are the dog that caught the car, abortion is now costing them votes and elections and they are gonna run away from the issue as much as possible, they are going to be pro-life but not anti-abortion and their new platform is the result.
The courts are not gonna touch abortion except to check any republican excesses int he states. The Roe argument will never be heard again. A new argument, similar to what Ginsburg outlined, MAY get a shot but not for a very very long time.
Abortion is now a state issue and that is where it will be fought so casting a ballot in a national election based on abortion is just foolish.
There is not gonna be an armed civil war to restore abortion to the Roe era. Women are not gonna put on uniforms and attack Alabama from NY.
Further, intellectual freedom, free speech are key to any democracy functioning. You will resolve no issues by controlling free speech, you will reach no consensus that will last by limiting the expression of thought.
People who are hungry or frightened about their housing situation or healthcare are NOT concerned about abortion or about the environment.
Economic stability and freedom of thought and speech are the foundations of everything else.
We got Trump in the first place because of economic instability created from offshoring and outsourcing. People will only deal rationally with issues like abortion or climate change when the basics of feeling economically secure and free to live and think as they please are met first.
I'm not thrilled by any of the major party presidential and vice presidential candidates. This election reminds me of a quote from Woody Allen:
"More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly."
“Young women say they are fighting for their bodies. Young men say they are fighting for their dignity.”
I find both of these statements a little over the top which to me defines a lot of young people today. I wonder what the split is with men vs women regarding the pro-Palestinian/anti-Israel attitude so prevalent on many campuses today.
Aside from the historical/political ignorance of the Middle East, how many other historical facts are they not aware of? The recent admiration by some Zs of Bin Laden boggles the mind and speaks loudly of their ignorance. Is this all proving how easily they can be indoctrinated? Are we raising all sheep in our country? So many questions.
Israel-Palestine/Gaza barely rates as a voter priority overall, including with young voters. It's been overblown as a "Gen Z" agenda item because of the high visibility and attention given to the campus protests, but even on those campuses it's still a small minority of students that are involved with the demonstrations and that otherwise display a passionate POV on the issue, and of those that do, it's still not a driving voting issue for most. Outside of a few Michigan counties with majority Arab populations that *are* prioritizing this issue and stance, it's not nearly the generationally defining issue that it has been portrayed as - even though it does seem to be the case (via polling) that younger generations are much less Israel-aligned as older generations have been, they just do not appear (as of yet) to be voting based on that view.

Girls: I want a promiscuous lifestyle (just like the boys) and the right to kill any children conceived while Im enjoying myself.

Couldn't this statement by Lobel be reversed to read: "Some women have to realize that its not always about us?"
When I come across that insulting and vacuous term "toxic masculinity" I want to puke.
You are not alone
Those guys in the lead picture are "fighting for their dignity"? Seriously?
After Oct 7th and the adjacent TFP article about sex traffic resulting from the Biden/Harris border opening it's obvious these ladies are just not concerned about their peers of other cultures. How racist!
This is not racism, this is a lack of intelligence

She’s my write in vote too

I work with many young 4-yr college-educated men. A significant majority of them vote straight Democrat.
I suspect that most of the male-female divide in voting reflects the college attendance differences.
College attendance in called Progressive brainwashing. communists are experts at “reprogramming”.

But that’s not sensational clickbait, so, at the Free Press, what would be the point?
I understand that abortion is important to many women, but sorry there are many more important issues. The dems are gaslighting you with an emotional issue so you ignore what is really important.

Economic and intellectual freedom
Without those you have nothing

Your analysis of the politics of the abortion issue seems fairly plausible, but a lot of women may not have thought it out the way you have.

Dave: Was that quotation a joke...? Sounds like a joke.
Woody Allen always did have a dry sense of humor.
Like a lot of what Woody Allen says, it's part serious and part joke.

Many of them actually consider Iran the “moral force” in this conflict, a country that massacres ITS OWN PEOPLE to stay in power.
This is clear evidence that woke progressivism is a form of mental retardation.
Or neurological delay, if you like.
