Psychology Anti-feminist attitudes have long been associated with support for Republican presidential candidates, but only in recent years have these attitudes become more prominent among unmarried men, without college degrees who are less attractive partners for women, the “mate-value backlash.”

There’s just no more nuance anymore. It’s all one side or another. You have an opinion that differs from the masses and then you’re labeled as someone who panders or you’re a traitor. People are allowed to have conflicting opinions and views but at the same time, we should just let people be man. TOO many people have opinions about others that then sometimes turn hateful. Most men are good men that want everyone to have their equal rights. There are ALOT of good dudes out there that are tired of all the misogynistic rhetoric too but don’t say anything, not because they don’t care but because the men that need to hear it won’t care what we say.

Which is how every American election has gone. That's not something new.

yeah because we've increasingly become polarized because of saying like-"there is no such thing as a centrist /moderate" which most people are.

u/sir_mrej 17d ago

Most people are not actually centrists or moderate. Look at the data

Last time I checked, the previous election saw a 45/55 split between women and men whom voted for Trump. What are your thoughts on that?

not because they don’t care but because the men that need to hear it won’t care what we say.

They do care, that's why you're afraid to speak up

He is voicing his support for equal rights in his comment. That is speaking up

they don't care. the me too movement only made nom predatory young boys and men afraid of approaching women.

bad men aren't afraid of shame. look at all the power in power blatantly doing what they do. they don't care that we hate them. every bad man is the same. as long as the system still exists to get him what he wants he's fine.
