This is why women choose the bear

When Harris was nominated, I told a friend of mine that my biggest fear was it was going to energize racists and sexists because she was black and a woman. I though she was great candidate, but the level of racism and sexism in this county is beyond insane.

This isn't going to be popular, but part of the problem is not acknowledging that 42%. It's fucking insulting, frankly. Plenty of women voted for the bear.

EDIT: In light of reports of tons of guys saying "your body my choice" and shit, I actually regret writing this & everything below.

Like, what the fuck, boys?

WHITE WOMEN CHOSE THE DUDE THIS ELECTION AND THE DUDE WAS TRUMP

God, the whole of Lemmy is such a meme right now; the majority of women voted Trump as well!

Lmao!...

That seems bang on average for the entire country. If anything that suggests to me that men in that age group are less susceptible to trumps influence since other age ranges of men were in the 60s and 70s

Cool, now do women!

I mean, it sounds to me like men also chose the bear. Why did they choose the bear, is it because they're stupid? Probably not, they likely just thought their odds were better with the bear.

Dropping the metaphor, and looking in the cold light of day, those young men saw a better future under Trumpler than Harris. Articles signaled this well before, and nothing was done to address it.

Will their future be better - probably not. Can they be made to think their future is better, that's a tough one. Remember, you can trick one group of people into thinking they have more rights by stripping the rights of those around them.

Well, there's still 42% who voted for Harris. What's wrong with them?

That is women literally choosing the bear (by not voting or who voted Trump, same thing).

Check the statistics for white women :)

If no woman will consent to a guy like that, he’ll just vote for the candidate who promises to abolish consent

I love how so many men in the comments are butt hurt by this comparison. Almost as if it hit the nail right on the head.

2020 election.

Its cultural, men are more likely to be Republicans. One day this will change

I am both disappointed and not surprised that half of young men voted for him

Just give up humans, you have no future, you are not viable as a species.

If there isn't a movie yet where a woman meets a strange man in the middle of the woods and he starts acting creepy and she gets scared, then she sees a bear and decides to chance it with the bear... and then the bear runs past her and mauls the creepy guy-

Well there should be.

I think in this situation it is probably more important to look into why more than half the population chose Trump.

Fuck.

The "man or bear in the woods" question is obvious ragebait. Thinking people don't entertain hyperbolic hypotheticals that are proposed to sow divisive rhetoric.

The gender war is a psy-op proxy for the class war.

::: To be clear, I'm a proponent of market-socialism economically who wants a functional federal republic like we're supposed to have on paper. I am not a "tankie", nor do I want anything to do with them.

When I say "class war", I say we fight it with the ballot, and a gun if it gets ugly to the point of no recourse (that is still far away, thankfully).

I mean, what the fuck are people gonna do against Predator drones with Hellfires? Be vaporized as cannon fodder? We'd be gullible rubes for the whims of the "enlightened LeAdErS of the People's Revolution", that's what. :::

It's amazing how I've never ever seen a single thread on this metaphor and not seen at least two to three male users get furious and thus prove the metaphor 100% correct. Not once. Every single time. It's like catnip they can't resist it.

Or discourse like that could be why young men are choosing the right.

And this is why I choose the tree, you don't even ask why, you just react

plot twist they actually choose Trump

Correct me if im wrong, not American;

People in your family can know if you register to vote as a dem o rep right? I suspect that if voting registration was anonymous like normal countries a lot less white women would have voted for trump

That statistic makes sense when considering less of the liberal and/or left turned out while the right held their numbers. Guess the right is more effective at getting their youth to participate in the system while the left in this age range are more disenfranchised every generation.

This is a graph showing that a fair number of them actually just chose the bear.

Wait... didn't he win with 57%?

Meaning women were more likely to vote Trump than men?

That is why people in general are abandoning the democrats

fun fact: if the bear lets you go 1 out of million times (i pulled this number out of my ass), it is statistically safer to meet a man as long as you don't meet more than 16 of them... 😂

a whole 7% polled. truly representative/s

Pretty sure the bear thing is the reason why at least some young men voted like that. Generally hating on men seems so widely accepted to me that I don't even blame anyone who decided to vote for Trump out of spite.

Let's just keep shitting on men collectively, surely that will help!
