"...there are some issues where actually we see a gap emerge, where younger men are actually far more hostile to gender equality in some regards than even older men – and certainly a huge chasm between young men and young women." @profrosiecamp.bsky.social speaks to BBC Radio 4's Start the Week

Another sign of gender polarisation of voting behaviours among young men and women. This time Germany. 27% of young men 18-24 voted AFD while only 14% of young women have. The latter voted largely for left progressive parties. If you break this down to east men vs west women the gap will be larger.

#GermanElection Results show yet again it is the working class men in the East that supported #AFD the right wing populist party. In general (young) people are moving away from the main parties but women to the left men to the right. I need age×gender break down! www.zdf.de/nachrichten/...

We can now change that to so the person on the right is a young man and the person on the left is a young woman So many young men are taught to belive that women's rights and women gaining more is taking things away from them to distract them from the real reason behind their grievances

Okay. I'm sitting on a train and in front of me are two queer young women who are friends and listening to the way they talk, the support and love they have, etc... you realise why young women are not dating men. That level of care compassion and love is really going to be hard to compete with.
