    Isn’t this a long article saying that men need better father figures or role models in their lives? We know that’s true. Not having a good dad creates more soldiers, more followers and more men willing to be abused for their work. It’s no wonder that they’re going after abortion, anything that helps the lower and middle classes and education. I can’t say this enough, the GOP is not your dad and if they were, they would be called a deadbeat dad.

      To be clear, the article is talking about correlations in polling, not suggesting you strike up conversations with your neighbors.

        there has to be a “who fid you vote for” poll to correlate against, no?

        I don’t know, maybe we should be doing that more often…

      Not really, my parents voted for him twice, and will vote for him again, but they are very careful around me to act like they would not.

        And you call yourself reality boy? Clearly your parents are creating a fantasy for you.

        Knowing that my father voted for trump twice doesn’t feel nice. Luckily I live in a different country.

        “Well, they’re all pretty bad” seems to me to mean “I vote against my self interests”

        It’s a funny thing to watch, people that want to like T but don’t want to be associated with the absolute chucklefucks that make up the red cap contingent amonst them, so it ends up this “yeah, but shhh!” kind of state.

        Well, they know you’re intelligent…

        While, there are outliers, it’s pretty easy to trip up a Trumpet into revealing they’re a Trumper.

        One of my go to’s is to make a statement the seems to support Trump but get a detail wrong. A Trumper will immediately correct you

    While I differ from conservatives on most issues, I actually agree with them on some aspects of the gender war. Feminism does demonize men in its efforts to champion women sometimes, and it’s been a rather frustrating and depressing experience to see that most liberals seem totally blind to what I see as superficially subtle, but very clear signs in popular media and politics. As examples, I’d point to the recent Barbie film, which portrays men as buffoonish caricatures of patriarchal stereotypes a perhaps a bit dated moment in politics from a decade back, wherein Barrack Obama celebrated in a speech women making up 60% of college graduates.

    I obviously won’t be voting Republican, but I really do hope the Left reigns in the misandry and finds a way to advocate for women without shitting on men.

      If there’s one thing men hate, it’s being funny in comedy movies.

      Yeah you’re right, women aren’t doing their movement right, they should let men do it for them since they’ll do it right

        If it’s being run by people like you, who can’t even read a civil comment on the internet and respond in a civil fashion, I think it’s doomed no matter what gender you are.

      Conservative’s chief flaw is their love of dishonesty and contempt for honesty. Liberal’s chief flaw is that they sometimes point the outrage machine at the wrong target.

        Demonizing men doesn’t help women. I’m all for addressing women’s issues, including how they’re represented in popular media, but representing men poorly is a totally unnecessary part of that. Do you think the solution to the legacy of slavery is for Blacks to enslave Whites for 150 years? To balance the scales? What a bullshit notion.

            Virtually every male character in that film is portrayed negatively, and the feminist messaging is very clear. I’d say that qualifies as demonizing.

                Here’s a decent enough summary of the plot. The film depicts all the Kens as idiotic, shallow, patriarchy-loving simpletons who are dependent on their Barbie counterparts and many men in the Real World as misogynistic assholes.

        This identifies two problems, and doesn’t negate the original problem (two wrongs make a right fallacy). Let’s work to fix both problems.
