Young men and women are taking the 'gender gap' to staggering new levels

The split between men and women is one of the starkest divisions in American politics right now — and that divide is deepest in Gen Z, which is taking the traditional gender gap in American politics and stretching it even further.

-snip-

In large part, the driver is Gen Z women, who are more likely to identify as Democrats and take the liberal position in questions across the poll when compared to other generations or the U.S. population as a whole. And the effects of that dramatic split could define American politics for decades if it continues.

Take Trump’s approval rating. Among all adults, 45% say they approve of Trump’s job performance and 55% disapprove. Adults between the ages of 18 and 29 grade the president worse than that: 34% approve, 66% disapprove.

But the difference between young men and women is significant. While 45% of young men approve of Trump’s job performance, only 24% of young women do — a 21-point difference.

Guys, like me..,checking…yep guy, have always had a separate culture but dating diminished it. Dating isn’t like it used to be.

Portnoy, Andrew Tate (ugh!), and Rogan dominate Bro culture. Portnoy is a softer peddle POS than Tate but it’s still the same.

Very interesting and good poll:
The survey’s large sample includes 2,230 respondents ages 18-29, with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points among that cohort.

Overall, most white people did vote for Trump, but White Men voted for him by a significantly larger margin than did White Women.
The difference was even more striking among the white college educated, as the majority of women in that demographic voted for Harris, while most male college graduates voted for Trump.

If statistics hold. I would bet the longevity gap gets bigger too. Those miserable fucks only have being angry to live for, what an awful life when that's your only joy. .

things like self improvement, changing focus or whatever else to deal with issues or problems.

But men blame others. Men are seen as victims of choices made by others and particularly by females.

They see feminism as destroying the social order .

Social media is full of self improvement videos by women. But the ones targeted to men are all attacking women.

I see people do things like being up Pelosi or Harris or other women in random things which have nothing to do with them.
