Young women are trending liberal. Young men are not | The Hill

gay people exist

Yeah the left is more easily manipulated by emotion.

Married women trend more con though because the men they marry pull them that way as they are now their "social group"

leftist activists are very good at [emotional manipulation] and shaming

progressive ideology has at it's core a utopian vision of the future. those who are naive look at the beauty of the stated values and goals. those who are cynical ask what it would cost and whether it can even be done in the first place .

i think progressive, collective visions of the future appeal far more to women than to men.

Research points to gender differences in individualism and collectivism (e.g., Gilligan, 1982; Kashima et al. 1995; Maccoby, 1990; Singelis,1994). At the broadest level, women appear to be less individualistic and more collectivistic than do men (Cross & Madson, 1997; Hofstede, 2001; Markus & Kitayama, 1991; Triandis, 1995). For instance, women are more willing and able to care for others (Gilligan, 1982), are more aware of and sensitive to others' needs (Markus & Kitayama, 1991), are more likely to provide social support to others (Wellman, 1992; Wethington, McLeod & Kessler, 1987), view others as more sociable (Marcus & Lehman, 2002. and describe themselves in terms of relatedness to others (Rosenberg, 1989; also see Cramer, 2000), all of which are hallmarks of collectivism. In contrast, men are more likely to focus on themselves than on others (Clancy & Dollinger, 1993), to endorse competitive goals (Gaeddert & Facteau, 1990), and to describe themselves as separate from others (Lyons, 1983), which are characteristics of individualism.

women appear to have a vested interest in solving problems at the societal level, whereas men prefer to place the burden on the individual to fix their own problems. this necessarily results in very different ideas about what the role of the state should be .

What makes things worse is the massive amount of feel-good content for women that implicitly or explicitly suggests women aren't vulnerable to emotional manipulation.

is this a tiktok thing? i don't think i've ever seen anything like this.
