    There are many women in the American right. However, Democrats would be smart to not just cater to women but to men.

      Only way appeal broadly to both is to not favor subjugating one to the other, but support people in the relationships they want to have.

        Not just relationships but the problems each gender faces. Democrats have been too focused on the problems women face probably because they foolishly believed that since there are more women than men, this would enable them to win.

      You’ve fallen for the false dichotomy that you have to pick men or women like their interests are inherently at odds and human rights is a zero sum game.

      I’m not really seeing where the Democratic Party is doing anything to cater to women over men.

      Can I find examples of extremely loud activists that are terminally online and that might be saying what I consider rather dumb and unhelpful and counterproductive? Of course. That doesn’t mean that is the direction the party is taking.

        From https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/democrats-ponder-manosphere-rcna209806

        Democrats know they have a problem with men, particularly the young men who have drifted away from them in recent years. But six months after the gender gap contributed to the party’s disappointing showing in last year’s election, top Democrats are still throwing spaghetti at the wall, lacking a unified theory on how to win these voters back.

          Again, I’m not sure where I see Democrat politicians kicking men. Do you have examples of actual policies that Democratic politicians vote for, or don’t vote for, that are ostracizing men?

          Do I see plenty of liberal activists doing what I think is performative and ridiculous bullshit practically designed - maybe even literally crafted and designed to do exactly that- to peel men away from the Democratic Party?

          Oh hell yes I do.

          A nearly textbook case of this I could point to is what BoingBoing’s comment section turned into. I honestly don’t know if it was a psyop or just a case of people being really really stupid. Anyway, right after they achieved peak liberal (oh, excuse me, I called them “liberal” which they find deeply offensive, LOL, and insist on being called “leftists”, by Athena, and don’t you ever forget it, you shitlibs!) caricature and maintained that for a few years, it was taken behind a paywall.

          Just in time for PEDOnald’s second term, by the way. Very interesting.

          But do I think these overly vocal and terminally online are really the Democratic Party, most importantly, the Democratic candidates actually running for office or in office?

          Not even close. But I know that Faux “News” loves to go nutpicking and find quotes from the fringiest of the fringe and declare that there is a war on men or whatever.
