    Gosh, imagine that… the party that wants to turn women into forced breeders isn’t popular with the people they want to turn into forced breeders.

    The actually surprising shift is that Gen Z men are more conservative and less likely to identify as supporting feminists than Millenials.

        By the study it looks like there was no breakdown by orientation… but I’d assume it’s mostly a heterosexual trend. The LGBT+ community is overwhelmingly liberal leaning for pretty obvious reasons and while conservative trans folk exist they’re comparatively rare.

      I think we need to take polls of Gen Z men with a massive grain of salt. Polling is already pretty fucked right now, but Gen Z is absolutely the hardest to poll.

        Gen Z is the hardest to poll but when you’re polling within Gen Z specifically it seems like there isn’t a huge response bias - I believe the bigger issue you’re thinking about is that when intergenerational polling (i.e. a lot of presidential polling atm) is done there is a massive amount of error correction needed to properly scale response numbers from Gen Z - or Gen Z needs to be intentionally oversampled due to their low response rate - to avoid undercounting Gen Z…

        There’s an additional complication that as the youngest voting cohort it’s difficult to predict how active they will be in voting. It tends to be that once you’ve voted a few times you’re much more likely to vote in future elections and its hard to predict with younger folks how active they were in the last election and how many new voters will be convinced to join the electorate.

        That last point is why I constantly harp on about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, that seems to be a really important issue for Gen Z voters and if Dems have an underwhelming position (even if it’s clearly better than Trump openly calling to just genocide Palestine) then turn out will suffer and Democrats will underperform.

    One party selected a rapist as a presidential candidate and has repealed healthcare rights. I don’t think it puzzling why they aren’t popular amongst women.

    I know Republicans have taken away a Women’s Right to Healthcare while Empowering Men’s Right to Rape and now want to take away a Women’s Right to Divorce but this is FAKE NEWS! REAL WOMEN are Republican and REAL WOMEN Vote for the Party who want to allow Fathers to Rape their Daughters!

    Obviously this is because of Marxist professors or whatever it was Elon said and not at all because conservatives seemingly saw the handmaid’s tale and decided that it was an instructions manual

    Ofc AP doesn’t understand or explain the difference between liberal and leftist.

    Eg.

    • Opposing abortion -> leftist
    • Using debunked economics from the 1700s to serve the rich and screw the poor -> liberal

      Liberalism is far more than just the economic liberalism of the 1700s. Most democratic voters are actually liberals and not leftists as well.

      Though since FDR, Liberalism in the U.S. has somewhat lost its meaning and turned into anything left of center.

      What’s MGTOW? Why do women hate it?

      Edit: Oh…

      Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW) is an anti-feminist, misogynistic, mostly online community advocating for men to separate themselves from women and society, which they believe has been corrupted by feminism. The community is a part of the manosphere, a collection of anti-feminist websites and online communities that also includes the men’s rights movement, incels, and pickup artists.
