"Everything masculine is toxic" is the mantra of a very small group of feminists. Men do not feel unappreciated at all. Where did you get this information? And where do you get this thing about men gravitating to Trump because of this? Sounds like nonsense.

Like “woke,” “critical race theory,” or “politically correct” before it, the phrase is susceptible to willful misinterpretation and easily becomes a bogeyman. Yet, we still live in a world where the underlying facts about men and masculinity remain alarming. Compared with women, young men are experiencing unprecedented levels of loneliness and social disconnection, dropping out of school and the job market, and dying from preventable diseases, drug addiction and overdoses, and suicide. The violence men commit—against intimate partners, children, strangers, and themselves—is undeniable.

For some critics, the concept of toxic masculinity flattens the many layers of a complex social identity, including race, sexuality, class, and age and blames all of it on Democrats. For this reason, some academics have come to prefer “hegemonic masculinity” or “machismo” or good old-fashioned “patriarchy.”

Young men’s alienation can be partially attributed to economic struggles and to a sense that opportunity has been taken from them—an opinion promoted by podcasters and influencers in the “manosphere,” a network of internet communities preoccupied with men’s rights and maintaining traditional gender roles. A 2023 Pew Research Center survey found that young men were less likely than young women to achieve key milestones like financial independence and a full-time job by the age of 25.

Recent polling has also shown that there is a growing gender gap among young men and women in partisan support: While voters under 30 have long supported Democrats, males are increasingly trending toward Republicans. Daniel Cox, the director of the Survey Center on American Life and a senior fellow in polling and public opinion at the American Enterprise Institute, said that young men aren’t necessarily adopting more Republican views—they may just connect more with what GOP politicians are saying about the economy and the societal roles of men.

Ok, so its an American thing.

@wildgrass said
Are people in other countries gravitating to trump?

That seems weird.

@Rajk999 said
Dont think people around my area care about American politics so much to worry about who wins. Most other parts of the world tend to be what you call right wing people with religious and traditional values.

@wildgrass said
Then why did you ask specifically about trump?

@DJJ
Tell me of any left winger wanting to deport 14 million people here legally or talking about Arnolf Palmer's dick or 'I will be a dictator on day one, only'
or "how can it cost 60 thousand dollars to bury a Mexican'
or 'ingest disinfectant, kills covid in minutes'
or "we will build the wall and Mexico will pay for it'
or, 'those soldiers who died are LOSERS, I like the ones who lived'
or 'I don't want to be seen with amputated soldiers'

and on and on and on and on infinitum

I got the impression that you said these "toxic men" or unappreciated men gravitated to Trump. So I was questioning why that is so. Down here we dont care either way .. Trump or Harris.

@wildgrass said
I explained to you why.

@Rajk999 said
Yes but it makes no sense from my point of view as I am not an American. Hence my question to you... what is that all about... toxic men gravitating to Trump. Understandably you take the reasoning for granted.

@wildgrass said
Wow all the right wingers really came out of the woodwork claiming that it's also evil for a parent to take their children to a drag show.

Really? You put that on the level of evil with this guy who was molesting kids?

Y'all are nuts. Mind you own business and let them raise their kids.

@sonhouse
You really are a moron. Do you take EVERYTHING at face value? Do you believe EVERYTHING that's attributed to Trump?

@DJJ said
You must have missed the child rubbing it's hand up and down the guy's crotch. You know how many pedo's are found in the drag queen community? Yes I put it on the same level.

@Mott-The-Hoople
Nowhere as evil as Trump and what he can do if let in power again. I guess when he uses the military to quell protests, arrests left wing journalists, incarcerate 10 million people here legally, install a 20% tariff, really an up front sales tax WE pay for, I guess if and when all that transpires you will totally agree with everything he foists on US citizens, like pulling the broadcast license of CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NBC and arresting Rachel Maddow, Jimmy Kimmel, Steven Colbert, Seth Myers and the like you will be dancing in the street.
Yeah, what free society NEEDS people publishing papers critical of Trump anyway? Or critical of government in general, arrest ALL those bastards.
