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. [b]They OWN society.[/b] 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]

Who is "they?"  Sure, men are overrepresented in positions of power.  No question about that.  But the vast majority of men aren't in positions of power.  The vast majority of people in prison are men.  One can recognize problems a large swath of men are facing (setting aside the whiners) while also recognizing some women have problems as well.  It's not a zero-sum game. [/quote]
