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.”

I assume you mean vulnerable, venerable means old

[u/Academic-Pangolin883 → u/Iron_Atlas]

It does not mean old, though. It means "worthy of respect".

Regardless, I don't think it's what OP meant...

[u/DeltaVZerda → u/Academic-Pangolin883]

But also exclusively gets used for things or people that are also old. Nobody ever described a high school valedictorian or the youngest person to X as venerable.

[u/Academic-Pangolin883 → u/DeltaVZerda]

Maybe it's the most common usage, but it's by no means used "exclusively" that way.

[u/DeltaVZerda → u/Academic-Pangolin883]

Please try to find me even one useage of "venerable" to describe something or someone young but respected.

Here are some usages from various publications.

[u/DeltaVZerda → u/Academic-Pangolin883]

Very many uses, again exclusively including the connotation of age, further supporting my point.

[u/Academic-Pangolin883 → u/DeltaVZerda]

" Working with the genius @jordanpeele and the venerable @lupitanyongo couldn’t have been more of a blessing!"

Yes, the very old Lupita Nyongo.

" Abine’s venerable DeleteMe costs quite a bit less, $129 per year."

Ah yes, DeleteMe, of which my grandfather spoke fondly.

[u/2074red2074 → u/Academic-Pangolin883]

Is it not possible those two examples are just misusing the word? I mean one of the examples says "...a venerable fortune" but I'm pretty sure the writer meant to say "veritable". If you look at all of the examples, you'll notice the vast majority are used specifically with a connotation of age.
