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.

    Issues affecting young women:

    1. Rapes aren’t prosecuted
    2. Government forced births
    3. Bleeding out in a parking lot
    4. Widespread misogyny

    Issues affecting young men:

    1. Girls won’t put out
    2. There aren’t enough pickup trucks
    3. Joe Rogan is being victimized by jews
    4. Germ theory and masks or something

    How exactly can a political party address what is for men essentially a collection of toxic culture issues?

        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.

          Nowhere in this thread has anyone discussed issues that exclusively affect men. There are very few such issues and all of them are trivial.

      I don’t necessarily know, and neither does the Democratic party, which is at least part of the reason why Trump just got reelected.

      Imagine if you reversed the roles there and said something like issues facing women: handbag not sparkly enough or some shit

      There are real issues for both men and women. The fact people think otherwise is part is the root of the problem

        But I would be lying.

        Look, name an issue that exclusively affects men, and I’ll amend my list. So far, no one has come up with anything.

          Mental health issues being ignored by their peers and society as a whole is a pretty big one

          You could claim women have mental health problems too and they do but they have spaces to talk about that

            So your claim is that “mental health issues” are an exclusively male problem? Because again, the problems I listed for women affect them exclusively.

            So do you see what the problem is here?

            EDIT: people that downvote this benign comment are proving me right. Braindead.

              You ignored part of my message, I said the problem was that men’s mental health problems are largely ignored, not that women don’t have mental health problems

                So to be clear, one of the main issues that men in this country face that women do not face is that “their mental health issues are ignored”?

                Who is “ignoring” these mental health issues? There’s no systematic lack of access that needs to be legislated, correct? I had absolutely zero problem getting therapy as a man. It’s a toxic masculinity thing of men themselves being unwilling to see a therapist. Correct?
