I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.

So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?

    the universalizing ideology of feminism for men is incoherent

    and if you react with anger to someone, me, stating this fact, that feminism is and ought to be for women, you’re part of the problem, shut up.

    feminism is full of lessons on how feminism helps women, men should read feminists

    but it’s stupid to expect feminism/feminists to advocate for men’s issues

    and it’s insulting to ask men to believe that all they have to do is be good feminists and they’ll get what they need.

    if you’re a man and you want to write about how actually all men need to do is understand patriarchy, seriously shut the fuck up.

    if you’re a woman and you want to write about how actually feminism is good for men, seriously shut the fuck up:

    stop centering a tool for helping women, feminism, stop centering women, when men is the topic. do you understand? can you understand? the topic is men.
