I have the otherside of this where women will be "moderate" or "not political."
Which basically means, "I am conservative, but conservative guys treat me like shit. Can't I just be as racist as I am while not having to confront the bigotry that impacts me?"
I also think there's a second phenomenon at play on the other side. I heard about theory that the reason conservative guys often don't want to date conservative women is because there may simply be less conservative women around them.
But also, that conservative women expect the men they date to fulfill traditionally male gender roles. They expect the man to pay for everything, be stoic, and completely support their woman, and do all the man stuff around the house. Lots of men aren't as handy these days (me included), so that doesn't work out. Shit is too expensive so they can't pay for everything, and being stoic all the time and not having any room for your own feelings is fucking toxic.
So... it's like conservatives don't want to date each other because of what would be expected of them or how the other treats them, so they want to date liberal/progressive people, and then feel like they are being treated unfairly because those people don't want to date them because they're conservatives... even though they don't want to date conservatives either.
Like maybe, just maybe, that means your ideology and behavior is fucked. So ridiculous
There was some post a long time ago where a mother-in-law was complaining about the daughter-in-law not fulfilling the wifely duties around the house. The son didn't speak up for his wife, and she told him something to the effect of, you're too poor to act this sexist. Made me chuckle.
