A meme in text format:

Right wing extremists targeting men = panik

There are more women in the world = kalm

Feelings man weak, oil cowboy strong!

The majority of asshole pickup truck owners are men, and Poilievre ran political ads that looked like they were selling an F150. This isn't a mystery, the conservatives appeal to men who think they are being oppressed by "The Woke," and that is not a message that is going to ring true with a lot of women.

As a man, I believe we're more easily attracted to flash and bravado even if we already know it's from an absolute cheese ball.

I'll hazard a guess. It's because male culture and masculine values are fucked. Older men are lonely because they either cannot find friends, or already reached the conclusion it was time to both stop looking and lose the ones they had, for various reasons. Younger men left in a cultural vacuum are reinventing masculinity as a toxic caricature guided by the only affirming male role models they can find outside the home: social media influencers.

Meanwhile, the predominant message from the left, as observed in generalities and absent nuance, is all the ways having a Y chromosome makes you evil. With an apparent choice between self-flagellation and asserting a sense of inherent superiority as both an emotional shield and path to an in-group with shared values, I really can't say I'd choose any better in my younger, immature form.

So here we are, in 2025 where the battle of the sexes is now a political movement and even one that's quite happy to pick your side for you if you dare present ambiguously. We're just a little fashion subtlety away from wearing arm bands, either to declare for the feminists or the anti-woke, or just to dodge social conscription.

Women are more liberal usually.

Because women are smarter than us men on matters of importance.

"Pierre Poilievre" on 22 minutes tries to figure out what women want

You mean the guy who said women need housing so they can have babies before their biological clocks run out didn't get many women votes??

The alt-right propaganda being firehosed onto social media is particularly targeted at and effective against young men. All our information spaces are under direct and sustained attack by enemies foreign and domestic, and most of them have the goal of influencing or simply destabilizing our democracy. I don't think this is really in question at this point, I think the only open debates are about exactly how much of these attacks can be attributed to what sources, but my belief is that any sort of adversary who's been accused by anyone is probably legitimately involved at some level.

We also don't seem to have any idea what we can do about it or we're going to do about it other than accept that it's happening and apparently continue to let it happen.

It kinda feels sexist to casually put the "why" in the headline like the answer is even remotely a mystery.

The answer is people are scared of violence and violent threats and will tend to prefer people who don't behave that way.
