This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

    Yes, we should definitely move to address their issues, which begin and end with the fact that young men are entitled uneducated macho losers who love expensive cars and worship illiteracy.

    What exactly do you want the government to do about that?

      I mean, kinda yeah, but that doesn’t really mean anything to the comment you replied to.

        I wish so much that I was wrong, but I am not.

        My fellow American men are unfeeling morons. They revile science, art, philosophy, nature, meaning — literally anything and everything that matters. Their lives are nothing but self-fellating gratifications and consumerism: sports, trucks, video games. For every intelligent American man there are 5 barely sentient unempathetic subhumans whose lives are as shallow as they are meaningless.

        That is what I have learned in my 30 years on this planet. The number of good men I’ve met — just met — I can count on the fingers of one hand.

          but I am not.

          As the father of a Gen Z Son whose almost done with a degree in Chemical Engineering I can confidently say that you are wrong. There’s large numbers of intelligent, educated, and caring young men out there and it’s been my privilege to watch quite a few of them grow up.

          As a man over 50 I’m going to point out that if everywhere you go smells like shit then you need to check your shoes.

      I tried using google scholar to educate me on the topic, and noticed that research falls short.

      I reported on that observation.

      Your reaction makes me feel very uncomfortable.

          I did read a book that researched that part: “Men Who Hate Women” by Laura Bates

          But that book places it as a (dangerous) minority phenomenon amongst male youth.

              The book was published in 2020 and researched then school age people.

              More recent research I’m unaware of. What research are you basing your opinion on?

                That was more snark along the lines of the OP than any serious research, though I expect there will be quite a few papers written on this election.
