I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.

So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?

    I used the word “histrionic” – “histrio” is Latin for actor.

    Elsewhere I said:

    She’s performing histrionic masculinity; men who can’t control their emotions become a problem for the movement.

    Quit being such a weak man, allowing your emotions to govern your reaction.

    I’m a misandrist: men fucking suck, and your masculine display of emotional incontinence is what makes men such a problem for women.

    As to misogyny? I don’t think women are all that great, either, but I’d rather work with women than men, for the most part.

    Provided they can woman up.

      I think I’m just gonna tag you as a misogynist with my Lemmy client and move on with my day. Maybe less demanding women debate you in the marketplace of ideas might be good for you. This is weird and beggy.

        I’ll at least admit the existence of patriarchy, which is more than you will get with Lemmy’s misogyny problem.

        It’s weird that you found a way to center women in this topic about men. Please think about that.
