Political Discussion
Likely not impressed by republican leaders. Trump and Vance are not masculine men, Pence is weird, and Obama and Walz definitely are masculine men and strong family men so this argument falls apart just at the recent presidential level. There is a lot of marketing towards men from the right and kids want to be counter cultural to their parents. Plus as the previous poster said, they likely haven't struggled much. If they are a good person they at least know that many on the right in politics are not speaking in a positive way. You can have conservative values and still hate the political fighting, insults, and lies. There are conservatives that still hated Rush Limbaugh and his kind. |
If you think the bolded, you have no idea what masculine means. |
He grew up playing football and basketball, hunted as a kid and to this day. Worked in a factory before college. Veteran. Football coach. Father of 2. What makes someone masculine in your eyes? UFC spandex and roids? |
| He is a man after all. |
Vance is literally a combat veteran of the Marines. Walz never deployed in any meaningful sense. As a female vet, I don't think you can say Vance is not masculine but then cite Walz's military record. My own service record is more masculine than Walz's. Walz is a liberal white woman's idea of masculine for sure, but he reads as too "pick me" to conservatives or males. |
My 30F colleague is more masculine than walz. |

| Misogyny and bad parenting. The boys and young men grew up in the time of "girl power!" and do not understand the context behind the necessity of those messages, or the history of women in the US and world. Their parents have failed to teach them, and they're basically envious of what they perceive as female entitlement. |
My husband and sons are. Why wouldn't they be? |
Let me ask you a question. Do you think Trump is masculine? |
|
Too much social media.
You told him what but not why. You spoiled him and he wants things for free instead of competing on an equal ground. |

Most young men aren’t Trump voters. Most just vote Republican because and don’t research the reason why.
And by most I mean a tad above 50% but also a tad below in 3024. |
Yeah they are. Right wing extremism attracts insecure incels and pussies. |
Five masculine Democratic men? Easy. Gavin Newsom Mark Kelly Mark Warner Jared Golden Seth Moulton It doesn’t get more masculine than the Marine Corps and astronauts. That took me less than 10 seconds to make that list btw |
Only pussies internalize messages like that. Or those who aren’t very bright. I realize cognitive dissonance is hard. But come on. |
