When we walked into school on the morning of 6 November, we exchanged quick glances with the other girls in our social circle – looks filled with uncertainty and dread about the future. Because we are applying to colleges all around the country and about to leave our homes in the Hudson Valley, political issues suddenly have begun to feel a lot more personal.
Access to abortion and contraception, protection of the environment, and the growing hate and violence toward marginalized groups all have the potential to greatly impact our lives. We had only brief conversations about why Trump’s victory felt so defeating, but our shared disappointment stuck with us as we walked to our first period classes.
But as we sat down at our desks, we noticed a very different attitude among our male peers. Subtle high-fives were exchanged and remarks about the impending success of the next four years were whispered around. It didn’t make much sense. We live in a mostly liberal town in the Hudson Valley where Harris-Walz signs were posted outside of most of our friends’ houses. This is not to say that families with dissenting opinions don’t live in our town. But the boys that were the most vocal in their enthusiasm about the election results have progressive parents just like ours.
As these startling observations made us look back on the last couple of years, we started to realize that maybe this wasn’t as unexpected as we thought. An increased interest in pursuing the ideal masculine appearance by going to the gym and the creation of new male-dominated social activities like the infamous exclusive poker nights had seemed innocent and had been easy to write off as typical boyhood behavior.
But now all that seemed as if it was just the beginning of...

“we have to help the disenfranchised and this group and that group and...”
“Shut the heck up and make my dinner.”
JK to the ladies on FR!!! :)
A post-feminist world is emerging and it is one in which both men and women will benefit.
I thought I was reading the Bee for a minute. Would be perfect there. :)
You mean like the leftists do?
Like that????
IOW, leftists don't want anyone honing in on their territory.
No fair using their tactics against them.
So I guess the girl’s issue is that the consequences of unprotected sex will be determined by state law.
I’ve noticed that most of those females who write stuff like this tend to be the ones who have the least to worry about when it comes to pregnancy.
It would have been thoughtful of the boys in their school to bring in Handmaid's Tale costumes for their newly-enslaved sex-toy female classmates...
It cracks me up at how working out instead of being a flabby, estrogen-laden soyboy is now "right wing."
This from the country that is locking people up for sending memes or saying hurty words.
That was the sentence I was going to post and comment upon.
Very.
Burqas would work well too.
The female dominated education system has resulted in a generation of soy boys and cucks. Boys that exhibit to much boyishness get letters sent home telling parents they need to be on ADHD meds.
Who would have thought that young men like their masculinity confirmed.
Not clear who the “we” are in this. It sounds like it was written by someone posing as a high school girl. Being in the Guardian, means there is no reason to trust whoever the writers are. In any case, it appears to be true, GenZ males are starting to identify as men again, after a long passive hibernation. We can thank Trump for that, no doubt about it.
Sounds like more winning!
Because in New York, nearly everyone works for government, in some form or another.
>> going to the gym
OMG! Literally Nazis! You pudgy chicks are right to be concerned! I’d write down their names and take the list to the Head Educatrix! Do it right away before this afternoon’s Free Palestine protest! Say, have you noticed how guapo those swarthy middle east exchange students are? And they’re always ready to hook up, even if you ARE ten-twenty pounds on the “plus” side!
😂
Is the photo accompanying this tripe a picture of two dudes hugging? That would seem contrary to the writer’s point. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it does seem to be a full-on embrace with joy and gaiety.
LOL!!!
