      XPost: alt.politics.elections, alt.politics.trump, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh       XPost: talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: democrat-criminals@mail.house.gov              https://nypost.com/2024/05/05/opinion/frat-boy-summer-is-this-years-       backlash-against-an-epidemic-of-arrogant-entitled-women/              Behold the “frat boys” unapologetically saving Old Glory, singing the       national anthem, chanting “USA, USA, USA,” and rudely ridiculing the       campus freaks who parade around in Hamas colors and barricade themselves       in university buildings.              God forbid! They look like Trump voters.              This display of irrepressible masculinity erupting in Gen Z is an affront       to the grand societal feminization project of the left, which has only       itself to blame.              Frat Boy Summer is this year’s backlash against an epidemic of arrogant,       entitled women who have been coddled all their lives and think they’re       smarter and more important than they really are.              It is a manifestation of the growing political divide between men and       women that has been evident in opinion polls for some time. There is a 10-       point gap on most issues between men and women.              Young unmarried women, in particular, skew very left, while young men are       becoming markedly more conservative.              Growing gap       The latest ABC-Ipsos poll over the weekend showed Donald Trump winning the       under-30s by five points over Joe Biden, 48% to 43%. That was entirely       down to Trump’s huge advantage with young men, 54% to 43%.              Young women favored Biden by three points, 44% to 41%, still a rather       anemic vote of confidence considering all the “Handmaid’s Tale”-style       propaganda being thrown at them about abortion and Trump’s beastly ways.              It’s a nightmare scenario for Biden, who has been counting on the youth       vote to win him the election like it did in 2020. Hence his desperate       pandering to Gen Z.              The president is splashing around billions of taxpayer dollars on student       debt relief, relaxing cannabis legislation, championing “trans kids” as       the greatest heroes of their generation and inviting gender-fluid young       TikTok influencers to VIP events at the White House. This is not your       granddad’s Joe Biden.              But none of it can close the growing ideological gulf between the sexes,       which has its roots in the unjust treatment of boys and young men in       recent decades.              The college gender gap was a crisis when men outnumbered women up until       the 1980s, but now that there are three women for every two men in       college, we must rejoice. You go, girl!              Now there are 1 million fewer men in college than in 2011, according to       Pew Research, with one-quarter of male Ivy Leaguers identifying as LGBT.       It’s sexual reparations in which nobody had a say.              There is a cohort of women who are giving the fairer sex a bad name. These       toxic femmes gobbled up the unjust privileges of affirmative action and       the punitive fakery that the #MeToo movement became and then found they       were more miserable than ever.              So they doubled down, offloading blame onto the patriarchy or toxic       masculinity or whatever excuse they could find to avoid looking in the       mirror.              During the pandemic, they were given the name “Karen” as they marched       around in masks enforcing petty rules or flew into aggressive rages during       minor parking lot encounters.              When accountability occasionally finds them, they are flabbergasted beyond       belief, while the rest of the world quietly revels in their comeuppance.              Karine Jean-Pierre is the avatar of the entitled female.              The White House press secretary is simply horrible at her job. She’s not       on top of her material and never provides a coherent answer to reporters’       questions.              But instead of showing a little humility and upping her game, she does       interviews boasting about how awesome she is at “the hardest job in the       White House … I’m an historic figure and I walk in history every day.”              Women’s colleges       The current campus protests have showcased the narcissism of these       delusional damsels on social media for all to see:              The females at the University of Virginia whining, “It’s raining!” when       finally told to pack up their tents.       The campus radical who held a press conference to demand that Columbia       University supply food and water to her comrades who had barricaded       themselves inside a building. “This is like basic humanitarian aid,” said       Johannah King-Slutzky, a PhD student who sported the latest in terrorist       chic, a keffiyeh around her neck.       The academic at Emory University who screamed, “I am a professor!” when       she was arrested for assaulting a cop. “I hit him on the head very lightly       to get his attention and they grabbed me, threw me to the ground and       arrested me,” Caroline Fohlin whined as she was carted away.       The activist in California who stood up at a city council meeting and       threatened to kill councilors who opposed a Gaza cease-fire resolution:       “We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you,” she fiercely vowed. Next       time we saw Riddhi Patel, she was bawling her eyes out in court after       being arrested and charged with threatening state officials.       These are not people anyone can admire. They believe they are entitled to       privileges and protections they did not earn and do not deserve.              The losers in the equation have been young men, especially if they are       white and heterosexual and wish to remain male with their genitalia       intact.              They are the new forgotten people, derided for who they are.              Since they have nothing to lose and nobody has earned their respect, the       frat boys will be as rude and obnoxious as they like. If their very       intrinsic maleness is offensive, why bother trying to be polite or       chivalrous? Instead, they lean into their power in a rather Trumpian way.              Talking like Trump       Whatever else can be said about Donald Trump, he is undeniably,       irredeemably masculine. The way he walks, the way he talks, the way he       dresses, his lusty appreciation for attractive women, all of it is       anachronistic in a world that abhors masculinity, and that probably is       half his appeal — to men, and to the women who still love men.              Regardless of Trump, Gallup polls show that the percentage of young men,       ages 18 to 29, who identify as Republican has increased 11 points in a       decade, from 38% in 2013 to 49% in 2023, with a big jump from 42% after       the pandemic.              This is the cohort whose school and college years were affected by COVID-       19. Perhaps school-age boys resented the strictures of lockdowns more than       girls and rejected the safety obsessions of females in authority.              Whatever the cause, 18- to 29-year-old men are now 30% more conservative       than their ultra-liberal female counterparts.              Women ages 18 to 34 became increasingly liberal and Democratic in the past       decade, according to polling data reported by the New York Times last       week.              Women went from 55% to 60% identifying as Democratic and from 29% to 22%              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
