It has long been the case that American women are generally more liberal than American men. But among young Americans, this gender gap has widened into an enormous rift: According to recent Gallup polling, there is aĀ 30-point differencebetween the number of women age 18ā30 who self-identify as liberal and the number of men in that demographic who do the same.
Thatās largely because young women have gottenĀ muchĀ more liberal, while young men have stayed ideologically more consistentāor, according to other analyses, become more conservativeĀ and anti-feminist. (Of course, not every person identifies as a man or woman. But gender roles still play a big part in shaping our lives and politics, and in the context of this column, I am focusing mostly on the vastĀ majority of AmericansĀ who identify as one or the other.) Itās not happening just here either; the political divide between the sexes is a trend thatĀ researchers are observingĀ in some other countries too.
Lol, are you this overdramatic every time someone disagrees with you? I think you may be a bit sensitive when encountering criticisms, which may explain the whole taking the generalization of men personally.
See, there you go again.
Ahh yes, I forgot. Anything that runs counter to your expert opinion is condescending.
Sounds like a perfectly legitimate rebuttalā¦
Letās see, you said I was reductive, Iām overdramatic, Iām a misanthrope, Iām seeking absolution, Iām intentionally misinterpreting things, Iām pedantic, Iām constantly detailing conversations with women, Iām pretending to be an expertā¦
I was trying to have a conversation about the state of feminist discourse, and youāve tried to make it about me at every turn, to the point that youāre constantly making shit up about me. So now that I think about it, youāre worse than condescending. Youāre an asshole who responds to disagreement with insults and then you have the gall to accuse me of doing what youāve been doing the whole time. Big narcissist energy, bud.
Feel free to keep wasting your time disparaging me, since you seem to be enjoying it so much, but Iām done with this sad excuse for a conversation.
No, I said that the women who claim it is all menās fault were using reductive reasoning. I then said your generalization about them was utilizing similar reductive reasoning.
You said misogyny was different because it was internalized. My rebuttal was that misanthropy is also internalized.
I said people who share that that particular belief often intentionally misinterpret things. But thatās not exactly rare for people to believe in things that suit their interest.
Those I meant, but that was after you had your little fit.
You made it about you when you kept using anecdotal evidenceā¦ Iām not making this about you, you just keep interpreting it that way. Even though you claim these arenāt your beliefs, you keep saying Iām making things personal when Iām criticizing the belief.
Projection
You have a penchant for taking things wildly out of context and making the whole conversation about you.
