You offer practical self-defense solutions, but I don’t think that is a primary motivator of young women working out.

There are almost 50% more women than men in college generally, which probably helps to skew their numbers at college protests.

More young men seem to brave the college nonsense for practical career or business advancement, whereas more young women seem motivated to demonstrate their virtue by expressing what they believe to be virtuous positions at that age especially, but also through life.

I think they're crazy because they don't have boyfriends, don't have religion, aren't involved in worthwhile community activities, probably not terribly close to their families (who even wants to be around radicals?) and steeped in social media.

Protesting and causing trouble is likely the only thing in their lives that gives them purpose or meaning, in their immature little minds.

The power these women think they have is a mirage. It is upheld by a very thin veneer of sugar daddy Uncle Sam in authority (especially for the black women).

A government collapse would render these harpies helpless. Easy victims to be plundered and picked apart at will.

And yes, when the collapse comes, they will not last a month.

I haven’t read the article (but will) yet I would answer the question with a question.

Why are young women so active in ALL leftist causes?
You see them for abortion, in ANTIFA marches, at DNC rallies etc etc.

Who remembers these 2 young ladies that assaulted Trump supporters at a rally including a small CHILD???

2 young women were heckling a baseball player over his religious comments on feminism. 2 of them yelling at him. His reaction?

“You lesbians sit down and be nice”.

Correct. And Winston’s assessments were, and remain, spot-on. Read 1984 in high school, and this observation of his impressed me at the time. I’d been raised to believe that women were the moral superiors of men, and that they were inherently more trustworthy. I was misled, to say the least.

Because girls/women ‘feel’, they don’t think. Their emotions and not their brains control what they do.
The media knows this and tailors their stories toward this outcome.

As do product marketers with great success, I mean, how many skin care product commercials can they run. The best known marketing line to women: L'Oriel...Because YOU deserve it.

“”””Why are young women so prominent in anti-Israel protests?”””


Because these same young women have been indoctrinated in their college of choice to get a degree in Womyn’s Studies and that will be their ticket for future glory and fame.

They believe all the baloney that the Pali’s are all just poor innocent victims and the young indoctrinated marxist fools think by supporting them they are soooooo compassionate and caring.

They miss the part that they are Muslims who are taught to hate infidels. Not all are haters, but their religion demands that they do.

There is a field called industrial psychology

It focuses on how to manipulate perceptions

I think we need to look there.

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?

“t was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy. — George Orwell, 1984.

Because young women are the majority gender (60% to 40%) in colleges and in colleges is where young folks get indoctrinated the most.
