This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.
Daddy issues
I had a look on scholar.google.com, but alas, all research after 2020 was either related to young male athletes, or related to gender/sexual health. There seems to be little attention given to young males.
Yes, we should definitely move to address their issues, which begin and end with the fact that young men are entitled uneducated macho losers who love expensive cars and worship illiteracy.
What exactly do you want the government to do about that?
EDIT: downvoting me will not alter reality.
I tried using google scholar to educate me on the topic, and noticed that research falls short.
I reported on that observation.
Your reaction makes me feel very uncomfortable.
It falls short because researching manosphere conspiracy theory bullshit is not exactly easy.
People like you are the reason we lost this election, wanna try and not be openly hostile to a huge demographic for like 5 minutes?
I wish so much that I was wrong, but I am not.
My fellow American men are unfeeling morons. They revile science, art, philosophy, nature, meaning ā literally anything and everything that matters. Their lives are nothing but self-fellating gratifications and consumerism: sports, trucks, video games. For every intelligent American man there are 5 barely sentient unempathetic subhumans whose lives are as shallow as they are meaningless.
That is what I have learned in my 30 years on this planet. The number of good men Iāve met ā just met ā I can count on the fingers of one hand.
The fact that you are so dismissive of menās issues is literally the problem.
Men have already long been abused by the patriarchy alongside with women. In the last couple of years the so-called āliberalsā claiming to fight against the patriarchy have joined in the abuse by denying men any escape from that situation
I can see why some young men might feel like the Democratic party is prioritizing womenās issues over those affecting men, especially young men. In fact, it might seem like the Democratic party is not only indifferent to struggling young men, but hostile to them. I can understand why someone might not want to vote for a party that thinks of them as deplorable, pathetic losers.
Issues affecting young women:
- Rapes arenāt prosecuted
- Government forced births
- Bleeding out in a parking lot
- Widespread misogyny
Issues affecting young men:
- Girls wonāt put out
- There arenāt enough pickup trucks
- Joe Rogan is being victimized by jews
- Germ theory and masks or something
How exactly can a political party address what is for men essentially a collection of toxic culture issues?
Is there a visual representation of 3. being nailed to a cross for dramatization purposes?
I donāt disagree with your issues facing women. But your issues young men face is very disingenuous
Its disingenuous to the actual issues facing young men, but right on point for how people seem to see mens issues. It is in fact a perfect example of why men might just feel put upon by the left.
Issues affecting young men:
- Rape reports are ignored and not taken seriously
- Not trained in the tools to deal with mental health and emotions
- High expectation to make money but low job prospects
- Jerks trivializing the fact that men have real concerns because OtHeRs HaVe It WoRsE.
It should be empathy for all. Asshat.
Your list is the issues that men are actually facing, but what OP posted is what the clout chasing āalpha influencersā tout as āmenās actual problemsā.
For everyoneās sake, we need to start reclaiming menās spaces from these Andrew Taint-wannabeās, and towards people like you. They donāt care about anything but their bank accounts.
Yes, us men need therapy. Women also donāt donāt get special mental health training and oh fucking boy if you think women arenāt dealing with people trivializing every legitimate worry they have then youāre on something special.
If weāre so damn fuckinā tough we should be able to handle ourselves while we focus a little more on making sure women arenāt dying from preventable causes, losing their rights, or worrying about whatever immediate danger they find themselves in day-to-day.
No one is being mean to us unless we start something and women are fed up with men as a group because theyād be insane not to be right now. Itās been about us for thousands of years and the second anyone tries to do any good for someone else we, as a group, throw a fit like you wouldnāt believe.
āEmpathy for allā take your āall lives matterā bullshit and shove it up your fucking ass.
I think many men, whether they realize it or not, feel specifically persecuted by trans rights. They might say that allowing trans women in womenās sports is cheating and that it would allow the trans women to be successful in the sport over less merit than they as cis males would have to. The deconstruction of the gender/sex binary also threatens cis malesā historic position as self-assigned protectors, leaders, and winners of the āweaker sexā. There is also the phobia among men of discovering that the woman whom they want to romance is trans, which really comes down to masculine fragility and conformity that leads to homophobia (in the sense of XY + XY, not gender) and transphobia. As a cis male, these men need to get over themselves.
Many men also believe that gun control is a threat to them. They need these guns in case a fascist power ever seizes the government and they need to fight back, so they are actively voting for the fascist powers to seize the government so that they can keep their guns.
There are also men who hold prejudice against any religion except Christianity so leftwing inclusivity efforts and anti-prejudice efforts come across as welcoming these perceived threats. These men arenāt simply just the redneck Bible thumpers or even devout or practicing Christians, but they just see the most common belief system around them as the default.
Itās not that these issues are a threat to men, but that they perceive them as threats.
Iām a gen z male, raised in a far right Republican household. Iām a social democrat. I am progressive.
Same man. It was wild when middle school rolled around and I finally gained awareness of the world beyond myself and learned what the Republicans actually were and wanted. A friend who knew more about politics than me explained some stuff, and suddenly I had to question why my family was against progressive beliefs.
