This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

Many of them are low prospect, so it’s not a surprise. They’re hoping a male supremacy will help them survive financially, but most will still suffer as that’s just how number games work in a callous system. If they’d voted for Harris they’d at least get some benefits while being low prospect

I am a gen z man that voted for Harris. I’m sorry the majority of us are morons

Wonder if it has anything to do with oligarchs taking over the internet so only a select few sites run by them are popular. It can't be just like television was to the boomers, no way.

There is no war but class war.

The culture wars are about the class war indirectly. Women are famously the first large underclass, worse than workers who don't own the means of production: workers who don't even own themselves, workers who do a second shift at home which goes unpaid and unrecognized in pensions and healthcare.

Failure to understand how these are connected translates into failure to achieve solidarity.

Hell yeah. I got nothing else to say, I'm just really impressed.

Among other things, they've been raised to comply with an authoritarian government since 9/11, so their whole lives.

The only thing you can be absolutely sure of as a liberal white male is that no one likes you or wants to hear from you.

I can see that. I'm not a white guy but I'm raising a son. And we've gotten to the point where a boy can't express his needs and feelings, without being told "women have it worse", add to this the constant talk of men being dangerous, scary, the cause of all ills, and I can see how that would damage a young guy's self esteem and frustrate him. I have to constantly teach both my son and daughter to value others and don't judge them for what their entire gender did before they were born. I dunno if that made any sense, but yea it feels like boys just get told to "man up" and deal with it

I live near a primary school and there are multiple "YES ALL MEN" slogans written on the walls right next door. I wonder what those boys will think about their place in the world when this is what the walls are yelling at them.

"Remember, kids, blatant, sweeping misandry isn't bad because painting -- no matter how you slice it -- literally half of society as rapists and murderers and sex-crazed lunatics whose only thought is for animalistic dominance over anyone standing near them is a lie so big and so dangerous it'd give Trump a run for his money, it's bad because if a transmasc person reads an 'all men are bad' post, they might think it's about them and be sad, and then you'd be hurting someone we actually care about."

It sickens me that these people call themselves feminists. You can fight for trans rights and women's rights without doing it to the exclusion of everyone else.

I was molested as a kid and I saw a woman holding a sign online that said "not all men, but ALWAYS a man" which completely ignored people like me who were abused by a woman

blaming one demographic or another is incredibly stupid. america as a whole voted for trump, dude won the popular vote. the majority wanted this
