   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%
