This is us noticing.

It doesn't have to be Trump himself - could be anyone with an interest in seeing him elected, such as Russia or Elon Musk

It's not a question of should. They do.

No way he's 62

He did! He did just diss the All Might Father, Emperor of Linux on Lemmy!

What?

Actions have effects and reactions. I think the same sort of thing would happen if that 10% of women just didn't exist instead of becoming intentionally partnerless for 4b.

I'm not saying it's women's fault. I'm not saying that this is the good or right thing to do on the part of men. I'm saying that this movement is flawed because it would punish the wrong people and because it would push those people's politics in the wrong direction.

They literally haven't counted all the votes yet.

48% of the popular vote went to Kamala.

Tell me more about this Libs didn't vote thing.

Oh, and no knock on anyone doing this for their own safety. That's entirely reasonable. I just don't expect and you shouldn't expect it to have a positive political impact.

(very obviously, but people keep covering this like it's a real thing so...)

You get 100% or even like, 60% of women in on this, yeah. Things will change real quick. I'd hope for the better.

If you get like 5-10% of liberal women doing this, which is by far the most that I'd believe, what's going to happen is the corresponding 5-10% of men get sexually frustrated. Then they'll go online and get caught up in all the incel->alt-right pipelines that already exist today, and men will swing further right.

If we want a movement like this to work it needs to 1. Not punish people who are already on our side and 2. Provide a better pipeline than the alt-right already has for channeling sexual frustration into action.

So cool, interesting idea, I wish it was workable but remember that a majority of women who voted voted for Trump. Even if men didn't exist he would have won.

That's not a twist, it's a plug

Exactly. That's why I refuse to do algebra.
