Young women are more liberal than they have been in decades, according to a Gallup analysis of more than 20 years of polling data. 

Over the past few years, about 4 in 10 young women between the ages of 18 and 29 have described their political views as liberal, compared with two decades ago when about 3 in 10 identified that way.

For many young women, their liberal identity is not just a new label. The share of young women who hold liberal views on the environment, abortion, race relations and gun laws has also jumped by double digits, Gallup found.

Not surprised, society is failing young men hard.

Men are worse off today than previous generations, yet at every step they're villainized. Meanwhile they see everyone else being empowered and advocated, while they get left behind and yelled at.

And tonedeaf people will see this post and think it's men complaining that women are getting empowered, not men complaining that they're being failed by society.

Hardly inspiring.

Edit: And so the downvoting begins, by all means keep burying your head into the sand. Who could ever know why men aren't becoming as progressive as women, guess we will never know! Every refusal to acknowledge the issue, is cause for it to grow bigger.

Society isn't failing young men hard — let's be more specific — Republican toxic masculine rhetoric is failing young men hard. There's a reason there is so much overlap between MAGA and Inceldom, and it revolves around the false perception of what it means to be a manly man. They stifle their own emotions, yet rage on roids, get buff, and treat women like pieces of meat and then turn around and ask, "why can't I connect with anyone!?" Well, because drank the bullshit kool-aid of Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan and Donald Trump and jumped fully onboard with frat-bro culture.

And let me just as a relatively young white male — you have no idea. You have no idea how hard it is for women right now all the same. After all, does the reversal of Roe really impact you or me the same way? Of course it doesn't. And another thing: All the economic woes facing men are also facing women just the same, I hope you understand.

One key factor is changing whom they idolize. Time to start idolizing the likes of Tim Walz and not Andrew fucking Tate.
