I just read this and I am not sure there is an eye roll emoji that can accurately reflect how ridiculous this article is. A focus group of 12 men who voted for Trump. I admit I am a 40-something woman, with sisters and daughters so I probably have less opportunity to see this, but I struggle to believe that men are feeling like they don’t have a place in society. They OWN society. What is the deal with this whining? Even the comments about how they feel like chivalry is gone because women give them a dirty look if they hold a door.  It is BASIC courtesy. And since when are men worried about getting a dirty look?

Can anyone explain this to me? [/quote]

The men I know who are struggling are worried about more serious things than the end of chivalry and dirty looks. They see that their lives are devalued because they are Black or Brown men.

A friend’s DH and 14 year old son were held at gunpoint by a store owner who forgot to lock the door and flip the sign that they were closed. She watched the whole thing from the car and was able to call 9-1-1. The police defused the situation, but laughed at the son for crying and wetting his pants. [/quote]
