I have both boys and girls, so you won't catch me bashing either.

My daughter would love to be "asked out" in the old-fashioned way. Dinner, coffee, whatever. She's sick of "talking to" guys.

My son is definitely a bit afraid to ask out a girl and either be shot down or shamed. He has friends who are gay and bisexual, but he admits to being confused about whether it's OK to pursue a girl who has said she's bi. [/quote]

I don’t really understand sort of extreme reactions like this.

My two sons attended DCPS and while they shrugged at some of the social engineering, neither felt oppressed or overwhelmed by the messaging.  Maybe in the scheme of things DCPS isn’t that crazy.

Neither has ever had an issue reading social cues and asking women out…sometimes a rejection happens but I guess they ask out normal people because there is no public shaming.

I don't think he'd get shamed, either, but HE thinks he would!

I totally agree.

The guys (thanks to social media in my opinion) think they are going to be mocked and shamed if they make a misstep.

Social media has destroyed dating relationships.[/quote]

Social media, and more specifically influencers and podcasters are feeding your children crap information. [/quote]

It is the female centered influencers, mostly.

I have boys, and I listen to guy focused social media, which is mostly right leaning.

Almost all of them are telling young men to get off video games, stop watching porn, exercise, get a job, go to church, learn about the world and make yourself worthy of the young women you want to be with, with a bunch of sports and things like aliens and moon landing conspiracies thrown in.

The girl social media is heavily skewed to cutting out any guy from your life who is not hard left.

Just read the Facebook posts of your adult female friends and neighbors.  They say the exact same thing.  I can't tell you how many times women post here and on their identifiable Facebook pages things like "I would divorce my husband if I found out he was conservative/voted for Trump."

That polarization by women is not good for dating or for society at large.[/quote]

My girls do not want to date maga guys and has nothing to do with social influencers.  It affects their lives and they have the right to want to date soneone closer to their ideals rather than soneone who wants five kids and a trad wife.  Are you suggesting otherwise?[/quote]

There are very few red hat MAGA men at top 20 colleges. Most young men are center left if you press them on issues. I don’t think politics is the problem.[/quote]

Eh… they may not wear the hats, but that’s where their hearts and votes are. But it’s the same for white women, so not really a big deal.[/quote]

It’s not for either…why would their hearts support idiotic policies like tariffs, cutting funding for their own colleges and other policies that completely work against their interests?

They aren’t morons like farmers who can expect a bailout when they elect someone who is destroying their livelihood.[/quote]

DP the white women did not vote for HRC. They voted for Trump. Go look at the data.[/quote]

Yeah…the data shows that white college women voted for Harris.

Also, this was specifically about top 20 schools. Like 90% of the top 20 schools were 80%+ for Harris.  Even Vanderbilt was like 60%+.

You can’t get to those numbers without a lot of white men and women.
[/quote]

The honesty of those polls is highly questionable. [/quote]

Why would college-educated women vote for a POS like Trump? 
[/quote]

People who did vote for Trump aren’t going to admit it to some pollster. [/quote]

This is stupid and you know it.  Nearly 50% of the country did not vote for Trump.  It's odd that you think that if nearly 50% of the entire country did not vote for Trump...somehow, the vast majority of students of Top 20 university students didn't vote for Harris.  [/quote]

DP.  I mean, you realize you could completely turn around this "argument," right?  [/quote]
