The Reasons Young Women Embrace the Left Do Not Reflect Well on These Women
American Greatness ^ | 17 Sep, 2024 | Dennis Prager

Since 2016, young American women have become significantly more liberal due to emotional responses to gender-related events that are largely superficial and detrimental.

Last week, The New York Times featured an article titled: “How the Last Eight Years Made Young Women More Liberal.”

According to every poll, since 2016, there has been an unprecedented political/social gender gap between young American women and men.

Here is how the Times reported it:

“In 2001, young men and women had similar political ideologies. … Then, around 2016, something shifted, a new analysis shows. Women ages 18 to 29 became significantly more liberal than the previous generation of young women. Today, around 40 percent identify as liberal, compared with just 19 percent who say they’re conservative. The views of young men—who are more likely to be conservative than liberal—have changed little. …”

“Sixty-seven percent of women 18 to 29 supported Vice President Kamala Harris in a New York Times/Siena College poll in six swing states last month, compared with 40 percent of young men. Fifty-three percent of young men in those states backed Donald J. Trump, compared with 29 percent of young women.”

And why did this massive leftward shift of young women occur?

“(Because) the race became in part a referendum on gender—Mrs. Clinton running to be the first female president, Mr. Trump calling her a ‘nasty woman’ and bragging about sexual assault on the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape … Seeing someone like yourself in office can spur political involvement, political scientists have found, especially for young women.”

If these reasons for young women moving to the left beginning in 2016 are correct (abortion is not mentioned; this was six years before Roe v. Wade was overturned), America has a generation of many unimpressive young women.

Let’s analyze the three big reasons:...

The Left is basically beating on women, now, to make them even more emotional.

Men at the tops of Women’s awards podiums, the sexual mutilation and sterilization of children. This is beating on Women to get the unthinking result you want.

I feel sorry for both young men and young women. Both face a hassle in these “I’m offended”, “sensitive” times. Essentually, who needs the grief? Paraphrasing Elvis Presley: why buy the cow when you get the milk free?

Private behavior matters.
Yes, correct.

Private remarks matter.
Uh, no. 100% no.

Anyone who denies that needs to shut up about JFK, LBJ, and Bill Clinton, not to mention innumerable other people on the left...

Hell no! IMHO you need to shut up. Maybe go back and re-read (or I suspect, just read) the column. Because you missed its entire point as well as certain eternal truths about human behavior.

We don't need any "hall monitor conservatives" effing up this election. It's more than a little bit too important for that moral preening, seeing how we're up against stone-hearted Marxist scum of the earth who want to destroy this country.

Let me guess; I bet you supported BLM and the effort to defund the police when the George Floyd riots were out of control burning cities, destroying the lives and livelihoods of many people, including black Americans.

But, you (or many other RINOs) felt so righteous, so good about yourself, and your neighborhood leftist told you that you were one of the "reasonable ones". And that was what was most important. That, and the wonderful view from up there on your high horse.

Self examination is very hard to do.

Some people can’t do it.

If you are unhappy, and can’t do self examination, then your happiness must be coming from somebody besides you.

Your unhappiness can’t come from someone weaker than you or you would fix them.

Your unhappiness must come from someone stronger than you.

Men.

Men are making you unhappy.

Only, they aren’t.

Their unhappiness comes from an inability to truly do self examination, and from societal forces that make money from women’s unhappiness.

Too many have been raised as princesses.

They can do no wrong. Anybody who suggests they are wrong is hateful. Off with their heads.

Look at young women in school.

They want the teacher’s approval.

This gives the teacher great control over them.

The teacher rewards them with positive reinforcement.

“You obey me, so you are smart and special.”

Young women are conditioned to obey higher authority.

Young men?

Not so much.

It's also a gender problem.

My experience, now that I'm older, is not that women are "more emotional" than men. It's that they are far more often unaware that their emotions are getting the better of them.

Men still internalize a need for self-control, which means they must have some disassociation between the emotions they feel and their observations of them.

Women often do not do this, whether being angry or sexually attracted, they just act on their emotions and display behaviors no man would. It's not the stereotype of behaving "hysterically." It's far more insidious than that because there is often a total lack of self-awareness.

Never mind the young women, this tells me forty percent of the young men are insane.

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Leftist ideology is simply filling the void left by the elimination of religion and traditional nuclear family roles.

Government is their provider and protector. Wokeism is their religion.

They don’t have to have read Marx. They were brought up and indoctrinated in Oppressed/Oppressor paradigms.
