    Interesting take, considering the extreme power women have. Women make up the majority of household spending, women in younger generations are making more money than men, and women are now less vulnerable to job loss.

    If you’re wondering where the sudden rightward drift is coming from, it’s younger men feeling hopeless and powerless to change it, for the above reasons and much more. The idea that the split is exclusively cishet male/political is wild and borderline irresponsible. While true in some states and circles, it’s wealthy white women/political in others, and cishet men don’t get included at all.

      I understand how you feel, and you’re not totally wrong - society is changing and shifting power away from men towards historically marginalised groups.

      The hopelessness and pain that men is feeling is coming from capitalism, though. It’s corporations stealing your future.

      The thing is that men held almost all of the power historically, and a small shift away from men doesn’t mean that women have extreme power now. Don’t let yourself be scammed by the rich and wealthy into fighting their battles for them.

      You need to recognise your true enemy.

      What’s that - is it a bird? Is it a plane?

      No! It’s a pregnant teenager bleeding out in a Texas hospital because the doctors wouldn’t treat her before consulting an army of lawyers.

      Shitty power, in my opinion.
