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 [b]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?[/b] 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]
They used to own society. Now women own something like 2% and they are seething about it. It's no surprise coming from trumpers though lol. White men are the biggest victims of the 21st century  :roll: [/quote]

The thread on gay men proves this. If you're used to being handed everything in life (straight men) and suddenly you have to work for things, you get mad. If you haven't had everything handed to you in life, you're benefiting now that societal values have shifted.[/quote]

To be fair, pretty much everything I've read over the last few years paints white men as the root of all evil. Blatant racism against white people is 100% tolerated almost everywhere. I'm an Asian woman so I don't feel that bad, but I truly think that the intense vitriol against white men for even existing gave Trump the election. [/quote]
I'm a Asian woman married to a white man, and he agrees that historically, white rulers did do a lot of damage and were kind of evil.

They also historically did a lot of evil things to minorities in the US, too.

They held all the power, so they get all the blame.   [/quote]

They also did a lot of good but we aren't good at nuance so we ignore all of that right now.  Doesn't fit the narrative.[/quote]
