    It’s both. Young men are being pushed right because much leftleaning messaging has decided to, uncharacteristically, broadly paint men in general as bad, instead of being more focused with their targets. This is unlike every other things where it fights against stereotyping.

    The right is [falsely] promising solutions to their concerns.

    The left is telling them it’s their fault and to fuck off because other people have worse problems and blaming men [in general] for those other people’s problems. And then wondering why they lost the young men in the last election. Young men are just as poor as everyone else, stop blaming them for shit old ass billionaires did before they were born.

      thats not even remotely true at all, nowhere have been telling men is at fault for why there are problems lol. thats sucha mysogynistic view of the right wingers. i suspect you are only looking from a right wing prospective, because thats how conservative see the left. but the right love to place blame ON WOMEN for not dating conservative men, and plus for rightfully accusing them of SA/ or some other form of violence.

      This sounds like a misrepresentation of left wing politics.

      It sounds more like how the right defines the left which brings us to the real issue.

      Outrage narratives have grown increasingly popular with social media and the right spends endless time blaring sirens on representing the left a certain way.

      The left has in response, done little, to influence the narrative.

      I personally have not heard the left as a whole admonishing individual men simply for being men.

      I think an honest assessment of society, historically and now, should lead to the conclusion that we live in a male centric society that is gradually becoming less male centric. This is a good thing if you believe in fairness and egalitarianism (ie. not fascism).

      It was a little more than 50 years ago that women could not hold credit and were expected to be subservient to their husbands or else be institutionalized for “mental illness”.

      I think many women see this backlash / desire to go back from conservative men as a skill issue so I’m not suprised they’re looking elsewhere.
