Or discourse like that could be why young men are choosing the right.

They are choosing it because Theo Von / Shane Gillis / Tony Hinchcilff / Dana White / Joe Rogan / UFC / Russian propaganda / random MAGA streamers.

The "man or bear in the woods" question is obvious ragebait. Thinking people don't entertain hyperbolic hypotheticals that are proposed to sow divisive rhetoric.

The gender war is a psy-op proxy for the class war.

Pretty much.

In hiking groups, certain people bring it up, and it's the kind of people you expect.

The rest of us just go hiking

There's also a TON left unsaid in it. Is the man armed? are you armed? Is it a hiking path? Is it the middle of the forest? Are you camping or just walking? what kinda bear? is the bear just walking or is it attacking?

You're overthinking it; those questions are totally irrelevant to the point. Though, to be fair, the question doesn't exactly specify this at face value.

It's really just a thought experiment: would you rather take your chances, alone, with a random bear/man in the woods? You don't get a weapon. You dont get to choose which man or which bear, or what they do. It's a gamble.

That statistic makes sense when considering less of the liberal and/or left turned out while the right held their numbers. Guess the right is more effective at getting their youth to participate in the system while the left in this age range are more disenfranchised every generation.

I think in this situation it is probably more important to look into why more than half the population chose Trump.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Probably because most voters want someone that reminds them of their dad as the President.

wants to have sex with them?

Check the statistics for white women :)

Yeah, i think i'm swearing off white women too. It would be tough because i'm white as fuck but i'm considering it.

And this is why I choose the tree, you don't even ask why, you just react

Just give up humans, you have no future, you are not viable as a species.

The elusive .ml concurrence

God, the whole of Lemmy is such a meme right now; the majority of women voted Trump as well!

Lmao!...

I think the ones who didn't vote for Harris are desperately rationalizing to blame Trump on somebody besides themselves.

The majority of White women voted for him 53% to 45% (not sure what percent of those are in the evangelical christian demographic).

Women overall voted against him 53% to 45%. Funny how those numbers were the exact opposite. Anyway it was a smaller margin than Dems were hoping/expecting from women.
