Women are voting more liberally because they don’t like conservative positions on abortion, guns, and the environment.

Weird dudes in this thread:

“Men are being left behind!”

Wut.

The conservative postion literally sees you subhuman ... Its the conservative women that amaze me .. How?

Shocker, when women lose basic reproductive healthcare rights, their views on abortion legislation and conservative politics change significantly.

Ignoring the annoying way in which liberal has been re-christened into anything vaguely left-wing in U.S. parlance, this seems hardly surprising since the conservative side seems both anti-young, and anti-woman.

Don't buy the "tradwife" myth. That's just six or seven creepy "influencers," who figured out how to make money from conservative boys dumb enough to think they have a relationship with fake online personalities.

can we stop using Taylor Swift as a spokesperson for all young women? like I'm all for her as a pop singer, but the media gives that billionaire too much clout as a representative of all young women. can't we just say young women speak for themselves without it requiring a billionaire woman to illustrate something for them?

My .02? There's a large swath of "conservative" women who like the idea of going to church, being a stay-at-home mom, and having a husband that goes to work every day and provides for them. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that life.

But what they found out is the guys espousing that lifestyle actually want to treat their wife as property. There was a solid 30 years of momentum building around "maybe I don't want to have a two-income household, maybe I just want to be a mom". Unfortunately, while the women were thinking "we're partners in this household, I take care of the meals and the kids, you take care of making money" - the dudes were thinking "I own you, you do what I want, I do what I want, if you talk back, I'll put you in your place".

Also, reminder to vote early, ladies.

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

I wonder how the other 6 in 10 young women would describe their political views. While 40% isn't a majority, I would think liberals are a plurality. Still, it's a little disheartening that there isn't a clear majority in the US. It would be nice if a majority of Americans could reach a consensus.

This really shouldn't have come as a surprise. Trump and MAGA came about from disillusionment in politics and the rural working-class feeling left out, with the right sensing an opportunity to say outlandish shit to stand out.

Today, women are disillusioned because they can't afford to buy a home, can't afford basic healthcare like most civilised countries, have zero workplace protections, have zero control over their own reproductive organs, and are lumped into the "DEI" category whenever the right discusses whether they should have opportunities in the workplace.

I say this every time an American article is posted around the sheer surprise that something is happening. It isn't new. Trump was preceded by Brexit and the rise of the right in Europe. Thankfully, we've also seen the implosion of the right over the last year or two, so if Harris can win then you'll all be glad to hear that it'll be a bloodbath of back-stabbing and finger-pointing as the right fight for whatever scraps are left - all while the loser sits on the sidelines shitting on their former allies for having the audacity to succeed them.

With all that said, it's a great thing, but hopefully this isn't just pushed as a women-only thing. Real change needs everyone pushing in the same direction, and that needs real unity - something a good leader can bring.
