It's obvious to me, that educators are not attuned to what boys need to be more engaged with school. It saddens me to think these young men are stuck in the idea they should be providers of the family. In fact, both husband and wife must provide for the family in this economy. My mother worked outside of the home as a secretary. Initially, she worked part time and then in the 60's full time because there were 5 of us kids they needed to support. These young men's expectations of themselves are not realistic. It saddens me that their identity is wrapped up in being the sole provider.
I think what gets lost in these discussions is the tragedy that you need two incomes to raise a family. It shouldn't be that way. But these men are so blinded by a personal attachment to the idea that they fail to see how we got here. Instead of looking at the factory jobs that are going away, why not look at the skyrocketing price of housing? Why not seriously consider why it is that other countries can survive on much less money than us? It's short-sighted.
This isn't an educator problem. The whole argument that only boys "hate" sitting in classrooms to learn is a myth and it also does nothing but enable them to not be disciplined enough to acquire skills and meet requirements that they will have to have upon graduation. I do not know any post-secondary education institution or even a work-based program that will not require some form of lecture, modules or assessments that they will have to sit down for and focus on. Girls aren't necessarily "better" at it, they just understand that they have to do it to get where they want to be.
Well, that's the messaging that we've been raised with. Expectations coming from both men and women. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing much in the way of alternative guidance, so far!

The Democrats need to find a way to address the concerns of these disenfranchised young men. Despite the way they might lean politically, real leadership should not forget about them.
100%! What messaging do Democrats even offer men? What male specific problems are we trying to address or even acknowledging? What positive messages are we offering, about masculinity? I'm going to vote Harris, absolutely, but me and my problems definitely feel invisible to Democrats, generally speaking.
@@Bertinator-nm9ld There's no messaging for women or queer people either! The messaging to women is "let's TRY to get your bodily autonomy back," or "let's TRY to prevent unelected lifetime judges from making forever decisions that will poison the air and water." That's not a forward message, you understand. These are conservative messages to us.
This is a result of corporate greed. How is that so much wealth is generated with never higher productivity yet so little affordability?ask the question: who is sucking up the wealth? It’s people like Trump and his friends
I think there's something to be said for schools being way too focused on measurable outcomes, which I think we can partially blame on NCLB. Perhaps if school had been better suited for him, he would've learned critical thinking skills.
@@TimeIdle I agree - Trump isn’t the answer. He’ll do nothing except foment more hatred. But for whatever reason, the working class feels more heard by him. In large part because he isn’t telling them that they’re privileged!
Voting Trump is likely often more of an emotional choice, not a logical one. Then again, politics in general is a very emotionally charged field. Democrats do need to strongly consider reworking our (practically non-existent) messaging towards men, though... Aside from rare instances like this podcasts (which is kinda tangential, at best), we don't even acknowledge the existence of issues faced by men, specifically. And we've got minimal positive messaging on masculinity at all (I'm trying to think of an example I've seen, but I actually can't). How can we expect to win over men, if we just ignore all the challenges related to men?
@@bobbyc1120 critical thinking is just a tool to satisfy emotion basis. People can be very competent at their job and use solid logic but turn to insane mental gymnastics to justify their political biases.
@@Bertinator-nm9ld Sure but what's the answer you want to hear? There's no TRUTH they want to hear - they want to be lied to. The podcasters say this - the job sectors that are growing the men don't want. Oh, they want to fix cars - okay well all the cars now are run by codes. You want us to go back in time to poor technology so that they have something to do with their day? They want us to what, walk back from global markets? Go talk to the UK about how that's going. 2x the people living in Brexit England live in poverty compared to here. Should we all be suffering so that they can cosplay the 1950s for a month or two? Trump shut the border and up here in the PNW, fruit that we used to export sat ROTTING in fields. Money, left to rot - for a stunt.
"You're not a man if you can't take care other people." "I couldn't be a nurse's assistant because I'm not a people person." Sir...please pick a lane. You can care for people beyond finances.
He reminds me of my Dad, who was only able to learn how to express genuine affection later in life. Initially, he just "provided harder" in order to prove his love and devotion, because he didn't possess the emotional intelligence to do otherwise, even though intellectually and mechanically he was a very smart man.
@@realnowheregirl Being a people person and taking care of people close to you are two very different things! Surely you understand that, right? Or do you think only extroverts can be caring towards people?
Democrats should make "stay at home dad" attractive again. So more men would vote Dems and more women would find a "stay at home dad" attractive and wife him up.
@@Bertinator-nm9ld I mean, is it very different when you consider that taking care of a family includes emotional labor like talking down a family member in pain or who is a toddler throwing a fit? Forget skills to handle people - will they have the patience to live with the challenge of day to day family life? Or will daddy need a "man cave?"
You asked the women if they understand the logic behind men voting for Trump because of the economy. For the most part, they sympathized with the position young men face as societal expectations of "providing" have not changed but the means to provide have become much more difficult. It would have been interesting if you flipped the question and asked the men if they understand the logic women have for voting for Harris. I am curious if they would sympathize with the position women face in a country where the government is interfering with their bodily autonomy.
It's abundantly clear that NONE of the people here have ANY regard for what men have to say on the matter. Even if the man is the father and wants the baby and there are zero health concerns or risks associated with the pregnancy.
@@iGNUiCouldPregnancy is never guaranteed to be safe or risk free. You certainly can’t predict how it will turn out at 6 weeks or whatever the restrictionists have set it back to. And what does the man's feelings have to do with it? A man has no more right to make a woman keep a pregnancy she wants to abort, than he has to make her abort a pregnancy she wants to keep. In either case, the woman ends up treated as the man’s property. If you believe abortion is the murder of an unborn child, then you shouldn’t need to appeal to the father’s parental rights to say that it’s wrong. Are you really going to say you’d allow a woman to have an abortion if she had the man’s permission? If the answer is yes, that sounds like you care more about patriarchy than the supposed religious and ethical principles of "right to life". If the answer is no, then why do you need to sneak your real position in using this Trojan horse of an argument?
@@iGNUiCould It won't happen. I don't expect young men to go to the polls. They will probably get confused playing CoD and forget what day they are supposed to vote.
When that guy said "You are not a Man until you are able to take care of others, and provide for people" it surprised me. Thats the first time ive ever heard it accurately described in any mainstream media. "Masculinity" is service really and I dont feel thats very often discussed. They portrayed these masculine expectations as completely self imposed. 70% of the young women Ive met still reinforce the same gender expectations.
Are these young men convinced that DJT will save or expand their jobs and job prospects? Do they know how many coal mining jobs were lost from 2016-2020? Hillary said that those jobs were doomed but that she would work to help with the transition to new industries. DJT said the that he push to or a boom in coal mining through Clean Coal Technologies. Which candidate spoke the truth?
A big problem facing men is that there seem to be few good role models. The only people who talk about male specific problems tend to be awful people. There's no positive messaging, and that's a shame. Democrats have a real opportunity to provide that messaging, but so far have not
@@Bertinator-nm9ld There are plenty of great male role models online - the feed won't suggest them. Anger and fear keep you online in an attention economy. Maybe we ought to be asking ourselves why we allow the attention economy to be an unregulated thing. We already know it has a terrible ROI to purchase journey. We've known that for a decade at least. Maybe - - it's serving a different master, not consumer capitalism.
Why did you ask the women if they empathized with the men and not vice versa? This reifying the point and indicates some internalized sexism in the reporting. Men are asked about themselves and women are asked if they care about others. Do better!
Frankly it's no wonder male virginity has been spiking. We literally just had the man vs bear meme and it's pretty apparent that most guys didn't get the obvious implications. Oh well.
On the flip side, when you, personally, have done nothing, but people keep telling you that you're the enemy simply because you're a man, that's not very encouraging messaging. As for male virginity? I'm going to put a fair bit of that down to unrealistic expectations that online dating and Disney have been giving women. A lot of whom are looking for a Prince charming, and nothing less, thanks to the illusion of choice that online apps give. Plus there's the increase in social anxiety and decrease in social skills/experiences, thanks to the internet more generally. When you're looking to find someone or something to blame entire trends on, look less for a group of people to blame, and more for environmental factors that have changed. Then the answer you come to is less likely to be sexism, and more likely to be correct.
You are saying it right. Nobody is interested into the suffering, loneliness, mental health, abusment or worries of men. Men should pay taxes and shut up.
@@JonHundred you are misunderstanding the sentiment here. I am, and we all should be, concerned for ppl who are suffering, regardless of sex. Men are humans too and should be encouraged to express their emotions as well as receive and give empathy. Ironically, instead of going to therapy or creating support groups in order to work through the suffering, loneliness, mental health and abuse and worries, some men instead choose to double down and support the very things that led to these issues in the first place. From the mechanic who can’t get a job because all the corporations sent their jobs overseas for cheap labor due to trickle down economics and runaway capitalism will blame women in the workplace instead of the politicians and billionaire CEOs who enacted the policies that destroyed the middle class to the lonely Trump supporter who desperately wants a gf pays $10k to some incel pick up artist and takes the black pill instead of saying hmm maybe there’s a reason that these women don’t like Trump. Additionally, I’d argue that men should also reach out to each other. If you think ppl are not paying attention to the suffering of men, we’ll have you reached out to your fellow man and cared for him in his suffering? And if not, are you a part of this problem?
Based only on my friends (a small sampling) this is why Trump's tariff idea is appealing to many men. They want to see companies forced to bring production jobs back to the US even if it means higher cost of products. They think that bringing those jobs here will give men more job opportunities here so that they can provide for a family. (Just relaying what I hear from guys who are willing to talk about politics)
That's so oversimplified. Building factories. The cost of inputs. Those will have tariffs too. An American made tshirt will cost much more than the imports we're used to. So they'll have jobs to pay for $25 t-shirts.
@@smashingvioletYou shouldn't ignore the fact that such messaging exists, just because it's partly a lie. People believe lies, and that sentiment is real, so you have to address it if you want votes.
BuT InFlAtIoN Is ToO HiGh!!! Lmao. Maybe they should take some personal responsibility and pull themselves up by their bootstraps like their newfound political allies keep telling them to do. See how far that takes them....
This same political gender gap exists in Korea and Japan, from what I have learned, and it also gets in the way of dating. That said, I’ve felt this way about politics and dating since the 90’s. How can you be close to someone who has a completely different vision of what we, as a society, should be, and how we should treat one another? That’s an uncrossable chasm.
Just be respectful to women and don't think of them as your farm to grow your children. Then there won't be much chasm. The chasm is because historically men thought that they are the owners of women and could keep them in the kitchen while they are doing the muscle work out there. But more money is not made with muscle work anymore. It is done with mind work with better education and women are better at it. Until men accept this reality, this chasm will not close.
This reporting may be pointing at some real issue, but as I listened I struggled with the fact that the girls as they were growing up were being told they could be anything when they grew up and the boys were being told they should expect to do the blue collar jobs their fathers had and support their stay-at-home wives. These kids were not brought up in the same families. There's obviously something driving this gender gap, but the idea that it starts at kindergarten seems simplistic.
Why didn't any reporters tell these guys they interviewed that what Trump was saying was in generalities and dreams and not based in what the role of the president does? The president doesn't have control over Putin in when he decides to go to war than Israel.
Trump supporters are broadly ignorant. Speaking from experience, no one fact is going to turn them. They have to see the whole picture. Or they have to be personally victimized by his policies, as is the case for these young women.
Weird. Why would these young men be so alienated. I always wondered what it would be like to grow up with constantly being blamed for the state of society with “the future is female” posted on every wall in your school.
@@kenlandon6130 One unfortunate side effect of the "me too" movement is that the message didn't get through to a lot of the guys that need to hear it, but did get through to a lot of the guys who didn't need to hear it. That's one part of why fewer men are comfortable approaching women to try to start relationships, and just stay single instead. That's one unfortunate example.
If you keep telling young working class men who can’t find a job or who can’t make enough money to live on working two jobs that they are privileged and/or a part of a toxic, racist patriarchy - how do you want them to react? What direction do you want them to go in?
Young men aren't exactly without opportunities--they just won't take them. Somehow when men and namely white ones (that didn't come from nothing any how) are told that it isn't getting easier for anybody, all of a sudden believe they are oppressed, and no one is listening to them. No, welcome to the real world.
for real. My boss is a woman. The boss of my boss is a woman. The boss of my boss of my boss is a woman. If the topic of conversation touches on gender I get preached at by people all more privileged than me. They are of course all capable professionals but the irony is completely lost on them. Also all the same "gender norms" still apply in the office, which makes it even weirder.
The patriarchy isn't the simplistic men-dominate-women thing you're assuming it to be. Working class men are victims of it too. Picture the microcosm of fundamentalist Mormon communities -the ones that have polygamy and the "sister-wives" all wearing prairie dresses and getting married off by their parents as teenagers, rather than allowing them to choose their husbands. That's a glaring example of patriarchy obviously, but do all the men in those communities benefit? No, because the only way for polygamy to happen is if some men get zero wives. Those who get one or more wife tend to be the men with more money, higher rank or familial relation to high-ranking members. Boys of regular 'flock' families are not only disallowed to marry; they may be driven out of the community in adolescence, like young colts out of a horse herd. In a bigger patriarchy, even with basic freedom and without rigid social controls like arranged marriages, young men with working class fathers (or no fathers) may find themselves just as constrained as women.
You should have compared three *college educated* young men with the three college-educated young women. By presenting only non-college-educated men, i feel like everything they talked about really reflected an education gap, not a gender gap.
Yeah, this isn't the 1950s economy, and Trump isn't going to help that. 40 years of outsourcing and failed trickle-down economics have made it impossible to raise a family on one income. But go ahead and vote for the guy who wants to cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations.
@@swarming1092 I'll openly admit that the post WWII economy was much better then for working families, but civil rights left a ton to be desired. The point is that the economy now is so unfriendly to working families because starting with Reagan, the wealth started being concentrated on the top 1 to 2 percent. It's gotten harder every year for the bottom 98 percent.
Don't get me wrong, I have no stakes in this, because I'm not from the US. But maybe take young men's issues seriously? But of course you won't, the current cultural zeitgeist is not about them and does not allow it. Society's warrior-class that are young men are self-actualising as a group in opposition to the establishment. This is going to get ugly...
Women and people of color have always been marginalize in this country. Now that they are getting equal rights white men don't know how to handle it. They don't want fair, they want power.
I think there is a disconnect between what the parties say they're doing and what they're actually doing. Who are you arguing is not taking young men's issues seriously?
@@nazcraz11 Both establishment parties, but democrats mostly. Perception and language matters a lot, and the last 10 years were about #metoo, talks on toxic masculinity, female empowerment and DEI programs for women only, LGBT rights and smashing the patriarchy, while young men largely feel forgotten. If you shame, scold and demonise a group for the sin of their forefathers (in this case men), that will only earn you scorn and hatred back from that same group. The greater the quantity of the young, lonely, uneducated, radicalism prone young men who feel no connection to the system, the greater the violence and damage will be. In my opinion, the US is heading down the same path when Roman Republic transitioned to the caesarean system through a series of violent civil wars.
They castigate men as toxic and terrible, shun them, cancel them, and talk down to them constantly. Then it becomes clear that men are not backing them, and then they start to freak out and deny everything they've said and done. It's only going to get worse, and people will still act confused about what is happening. The world kept turning outside their bubbles, and when those bubbles pop many of them won't be able to cope. A lot of people are going to have some really harsh wake up calls in the next few years, if not decades.
The young men surveyed lack a college education. Their peers with a college education are doing better economically and some are more politically progressive. So let's not stereotype this entire demographic.
They're not. They described which demographic was primarily voting for Trump and made it a point of interviewing men from that demographic. Interviewing progressive men with a background in higher education wouldn't make sense for this episode since they're more likely to not be Trump voters. The point of this episode is to get a sense of what kind of man is voting for Trump and what kind of woman is voting for Harris.
Sometimes I watch “bro” podcasts on RU-vid to get a better idea of young men’s mindsets. I will say Trump’s talk of tariffs bringing down prices is total BS that someone who is serious about the economy would not believe. I also don’t think these men really plan to be sole providers. It’s highly unlikely they can even be this in a future economy, no matter who wins the presidency. These guys can keep dreaming, but ultimately they want the benefits of head of household without doing what was required of men in the past. The expectation is for their wives to work much lower paying jobs to contribute to bills, all while maintaining the household and doing the lion’s share of raising the kids. Because women can have our own pursuits and don’t have to center men and children, it frustrates men and makes them question their purpose. And the younger ones see that they won’t have the level of control they counted on. A vote for Trump is a way to stem the tide.
A lot of young men don't see any prospects for a partner in their future at all. Something like 30% 18-30 have never even had a relationship. A lot of the guys I know are voting trump, one group of guys are very religious, so it's mostly abortion for them, but the other group is non religious single guys. To them a lot of kamalas policies sound like they will increase how much comes out of their paycheck, and they will see no benefit from it. If you're a single guy without a college education and with no prospects for a relationship or children what do you benefit from policies that support other men's children, or policies that support college graduates (student loan payoffs)? To be clear I'm not in that boat, but I understand it, why support programs like student loan forgiveness, universal pre-k, paid parental leave, that you'll never benefit from?
When we take away the provider role, but still tell men that they're supposed to be providers, and don't give any guidance on alternative paths forward, how do we expect to win over male voters??
@@Bertinator-nm9ld I think the provider expectation has gone by the wayside for a while now. A better path is to become a partner to your wife instead of a leader expecting to be in charge of her. If you're both working outside the home, I don't see why a man shouldn't pitch in and do the same chores and child rearing tasks his wife does. By the way, I've seen people discussing this very arrangement online. You must take it upon yourselves to evolve towards a path to be better companions so that you are not at odds with the women you want to be with. Otherwise, I'm not sure you can convince a man to vote differently if he's voting out of spite instead of voting to actually improve his situation. Men may decide to vote against women's interests, but in the long term that stance will backfire.
@@KayAnn2121 Ok, but what messaging and guidance is being given towards men, to help us figure out what that means and looks like? Plenty of new expectations are being placed on men (and NOT all of them as simple as helping out with chores), but no one seems to really be willing to put effort into teaching men how the new arrangements are supposed to work. We're largely just told to shut up and figure it out on our own, honestly.
@@Bertinator-nm9ld Are you looking for women to teach you what to do? Or are you looking for politicians to teach you what to do? What exactly are the new expectations being put upon men? If you're a grownup, I don't really see the problem you're alluding to. If you want a family with a woman, you're going to have to prove that you're not a liability to her. It doesn't make sense for a woman to partner with a man who does nothing to make her life better. Especially if he expects her to birth and raise his progeny. Men already congregate in spaces online to talk about dominating women and taking the vote away from us. If men can spend time doing this, I don't see why they can't come together to discuss how to be better partners and husbands. Lastly, you could look to role models like Barack Obama, Doug Emhoff, and Tim Walz to take cues from them.
I'm impressed by these young men who want the ability to support a wife and children. While it's no longer a viable reality, that doesn't mean it's not an admirable goal.
@@susanjuby256And replace it with what??? That's the big question. Feels like everyone says men should just shut up and take whatever changes happen. There's no positive messaging on how we're supposed to adapt to the new situations and move forward with them. I am a staunch Democrat, but I certainly understand why many men are not!
So many issues with this report. First I would have liked both a male and female journalist on this rather than just two woman. There was a level of condescension that made it seem as though the men were just not smart enough to know what was best for them. I think these young men are simply pushing back against a narrative that they are the enemy by leaning into another extreme with the hopes it might bring balance. Also there is this assumption in the report that all men struggle in school at young ages while young girls do not. That over simplification is harmful. It’s always been about style of learning and what types are best for each individual child. Not “gender based” learning where we talk down to one vs the other. Additionally, while I am NOT a Trump supporter, to think that these young men are just useful idiots to the MAGA agenda puts almost zero burden on Killmala and the Democratic Party to establish a message that encompasses all of her constituents. Thus far her campaign has been downright pathetic and focused only on pop culture trends and fear mongering. Really a disappointing effort by the Daily
If you listen closely (and can follow along in the transcript), Sabrina is the presenter, Claire is the lead journalist for the story, and _The Daily_ producers Stella and *Luke* asked all of the voters these questions. (Apologies to all, I didn't want to misspell anyone's last name)
Good points. They are culturally bound ideological warriors pretending to be objective journalists. Smug and condescending, and they lack the self-awareness or humility to understand this. As someone with left wing viewpoints I despair of these frauds.
Thank you so much for doing this journalism. As a gender nonconforming person, I feel like I've been an outside observer watching the gender divide reflect the failures of the system. Men were failed by a patriarchy that dictates a narrow acceptable margin for "True masculinity". These perspectives start young. Lets vote Blue and get some healing for us all. ♥️
Maybe I'm just a millennial gay who clearly doesn't get the Gen Z straights, but in what universe do you date or even marry people you can't stand to discuss politics with? Whose views or values are so clearly in conflict with your own? Wouldn't you have some desire to come together with or understand that person? Or is this avowed selfishness just so inured in American political life that we can't even understand our own partners? Whether you're a "man" who refuses to vote on anything other than the economy - surely not on justice for women or LGBTQ people, or issues of racial justice, because a real man would never care about such a thing - or if you're a progressive feminist who hasn't exactly done the right things when it comes to the incel/"men's rights" movement of the past 10 years that probably turned Gen Z men into what they are?
I'm a millennial progressive straight that dates a mega religious conservative woman for nearly a decade. You can disagree while understanding where people are coming from without oversimplifying their worldview. Part of the beauty in the world is in our differences.
I'm a millennial and I do not want to be with someone long-term that is extreme--luckily for me, he is more progressive than me and I am in no way conservative. It's not simply a matter anymore of tolerating someone in a relationship that thinks differently and votes differently than you. Politics have come down to some ugly truths that everyone has to finally confront. Teaching gen z is not easy, but what I do admire is their ability to turn away from people, things and institutions that have been dysfunctional and toxic for way too long.
What I've seen is that everyone votes selfishly. Gays vote for democrats because they are more likely to defends lgbt rights, but when both parties back lgbt rights, gays will vote in a more diversified way. Also, it was interesting to hear the female interviewees toward the end that were sympathetic toward guys wanting to be bread winners. Most of what I hear from my single female friends is that they're liberal but they want a man that earns more than they do (although this doesn't always happen for each of them.) Part of feminism's effect on politics will eventually be that the some couples - perhaps half of families with children - need to be okay with dad staying home and raising the kids while mom earns more money.
I mean isn't there a Stat that 30% of Gen z men 18-30 are vregins, and assuming the "never married at 40" statistics continue in there general direction, it looks like 50% will never marry. My bet is there are just a lot of Gen z men who will never attempt dating, so it's not a issue for them.
@@parker9012 Couldn't that be a reason why they're voting conservative too? If you think politics effects the economy and thereby affects your ability to have sex or even a relationship....thats a strong reason to vote conservative. (I'm not saying they're correct...Just trying to see a different perspective)
Maybe I missed it but I wonder where they are paying the prices they mention. Gas and eggs don't cost anything near that where I live. I guess I am hoping they aren't just repeating what they hear rather than their actual experience.
Same in Massachusetts, prices are up 20% at the grocery store. I had to renew my car insurance and it was up 40% from last year. I’m glad prices in your area are more reasonable, but don’t discount what other people are experiencing.
Life style and choices certainly play a part, but that is a constant throughout life regardless of economic ups and down. Me personally, I've made certain choices in my life that I'm still doing pretty good. That being said, even I've felt the impact. I live in Texas and my grocery bills have nearly doubled and my rent has gone up significantly, and it's even worse in states like Oregon and Washington where I have family and friends.This whole downplaying of people struggling under this 'totally great economy' is only going to turn more and more people off, and is probably why Trump is going to win in a couple weeks.
@@GML_123.I mean to be fair Mass is one of the most expensive states in the country, so it is in itself an outlier. You could easily drive to NH or RI and find cheaper prices for just about everything. (I live in Maine)
@@GML_123. I'm not discounting, just wondering. Because I have noticed those types of numbers being thrown out there but not seeing them and I live in a place that is also reasonably expensive. Even at the height of bird flu, eggs were three bucks a dozen here. I'd hate for people to make voting decisions based on hearsay. But if it's real, I am sympathetic.
Most men need a mentor, start exercising, for stress relief, and try and eat clean ! Get in a men’s group or women’s group etc. talk about your concerns with a good freind or counselor!!!
Every time, for any reason, that young men get disenfranchised, there is one simple solution to enact: fascist autocracy. I'm not giving any critique of anything, but that reading of history just seems straight forward
You're not wrong. But if you push, shun, poke, and cancel enough people long enough, especially to the point of making their lives difficult, then there will be a backlash. And there's a world of difference between women's pushback of shaming and nagging, and men's pushback of violence and war.
Well or communist autocracy. The formation of the ussr and communist China were due to disenfranchised men. I think the better way to think about it is, that men who feel like they have little to loose are highly motivated to change the game of society. Think about it this way, if someone says "let's throw society into chaos and reform it" to a man with a wife, kids, and a home, he'll say no. If you say the same thing to a man with no relationship, or prospects of a relationship, no home, and a low status job, he'll say yes.
"school" these days pretty much emphasize "knowledge economy" as opposed previously with available Auto/wood shop or the like to see is that was something they were interest in. My county has a Secondary school that teaches carpentry, electrical in prep for Journeyman electrician, Computer networking, HVAC and automotive. I think Project management may be included as well. (I still recall a bit of a documentary interviewing an Asian kid who admitted was originally was intending to study computers but was instead studying automotive maintenance and aware of the number of microprocessors in the average automobile. With less assembly type "factory work," we are now more a SERVICE economy, whether cosmetology, automotive, plumbing, medical. (PS for the guy who worked as a medical assistant during the pandemic, he might have been more interested if thought more a potential paramedic - or considered military as PJ (pararescue) or SARC which includes that GI Joe/special forces but also medical equivalent of minimally a fully paramedic and some to level of Physician Assistant.
A surprising amount of agreement between the young men and women interviewed here: they both agree that men should be providers, and most agreed that the man should be making more. The women are feminists and believe in equal pay and opportunity, but at the same time want a partner who is doing better than them. Also interesting that women want a partner that shares their moral values, but the education system largely run by women makes it hard for men to get the education that is correlated with having those moral values (higher educated men are more progressive).
I don't think the women believe that a man should make more - but they're conditioned to expect it. Until like 10/12 years ago that is just what happened. Even during the pandemic, women had to quit, even when they made more money, because men refused to step up and care for the household. These guys think JD Vance is so great as an example of masculinity. Well his wife, until very recently, made more money. You can tell he HATED that. Half of the barbs he was throwing at modern women he was lobbing at his own wife. I pity her a lot.
They said why. In 2016 we elected a psychopath who completely transformed the conservative opposition. The erosion of reproductive freedom, a return to “traditional” families, and general distrust and hostility towards women in power are now mainstream Republican positions. The right has ostracized a huge segment of the young, educated, working class of women. Live with the consequences.
Women are correct to align with progressive left feminism. Men are incorrect to align with reactionary afactual right wing toxicity. The facts matters. Men’s issues matter but men are assessing them incorrectly
@@Wetterisbetter514 It's not one or the other. Everyone who follows politics closely gets emotionally wrapped up in it, even if they're making logical decisions. I don't believe anyone who says they're above the emotional parts of politics!
What?! A bunch of young women are voting for possibly the first woman president?!?!?! who'du thunk it. Im voting for Kamala but cmon, alot of those young women are just voting for her because shes also a lady. I dont love voting for someone because of their physical attributes but there are worse reasons to vote for someone and given the circumstances its a totally fair.
When will reporters educate people that the only thing a president can do is call your bakery and holler at them to lower their prices; just like you can.
These young women view governance solely through the lens of empathy & compassion. We did not become a global superpower with that mindset and we are surely risking our position by continuing to go down that route "I'm excited to be part of history" doesn't come from someone who is focused on how to best govern the country
To be fair, this is nothing new, and has governed youth voting for generations - at least since the 1960s. The difference is now, the message has become more female-focused. Since the Dems have embraced war, the pacifist male vote has migrated to Trump. Previously, anti-war males would have voted for a Dem.
Human beings survive and thrive through cooperation and collaboration. The progress we make is not because of toxic authoritarianism. The politics women generally identify with are correct and more aligned with reality.
@@IamBrixTMthere’s lots of cooperation and collaboration going on in communist China and by Russians fighting in Ukraine. Those are simply social tools and to think they can only ever result in good politics is utopian thinking.
That last sentence rubs me the wrong way because it feels like you're implying that Trump would better know how to run the country than Harris. That's straight up not true!

By God, my brother comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we are unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and talked to the neighbors again and gave us a deadline until the end of the week and we swore to God to let us out of the street now we are in arrears of 60 thousand Yemeni riyals for 3 months rent may God have mercy on us our country is suffering because of this war and we do not find our daily sustenance and we live my mother and sisters our father passed away may God have mercy on him and we do not have anyone in the world to come to us in these harsh circumstances my little sisters went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stood at their door giving them even a piece of bread and by God in whose hand is the heavens and the earth they closed the door and kicked them out and they came back crying dying of hunger no one has mercy on them and now the holiday has come back to me if no one of us helps us with a kilo of flour by God we will die of hunger brother I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God I ask you by God you love goodness and help me even if it is about the rent of the house send me a WhatsApp message on this number 00967716722163 and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay may God compensate you with all good My little sisters, look at their situation and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street and humiliate us or my family and I die of hunger.

That boys develop later is a myth more than anything, there'd be some research but to the extent it's indicative it's extremely overemphasized, if one is interested in comparing cohorts there'd generally be way larger discrepancies between say children born in January as opposed to December, or even worse, differences in between particular individuals in particular environments, I get the feeling that certain explanations are sought after such as "boys develop later" because it's derogatory,...8+ years ago and for a long time I recall every article in leftist media almost regardless of topic had to have pieces of female empowerment and/or female victimhood however it'd put men in the inferior position, now this writing seems forgotten for the most part though. I think if one is to draw conclusions based on data such as college graduations etc you can't do that unless you define what it's all about, they're graduating, as who into what, they're getting into leadership positions, where and through what system, if it's DEI, quotas, or even political leanings (i.e. it's cool to hire female compared to man) that's regulating hiring practises than college or not it doesn't matter. Girls are generally more dutiful than boys, but don't misconstrue dutifulness as being the objectively superior (mature) behaviour, it's just a behaviour, and besides it's dutifulness to a system which isn't exactly flawless
