The California Governor remarked that Democrats had “ceded ground” on issues regarding masculinity, and that it has cost them electorally. In last year’s presidential election, men aged 18-44 broke for Donald Trump by 53% to 45%, marking a shift from the 2020 election when they voted for Joe Biden by roughly the same margin.

Democrats, especially liberal Democrats, often seem uncomfortable speaking to the plight of men. Historically in the US, women have faced very real discrimination in everything from the workplace to the right to make their own decisions about their reproductive health. Over time, many of them came to view the Democratic Party as the one which looked out for their interests. But what began as a reasonable effort to stand up for a marginalised group has sometimes led the party to simply ignore the needs of the other sex.

Far from creating a truly egalitarian society, men — in particular young men — are often now falling behind women in everything from education and employment to health outcomes, and increasingly report feeling unmoored and undervalued. Even many young girls now acknowledge that they are often performing better than their male peers in school.

The problem, as Newsom highlights, is that many Democrats seem oblivious to these developments, still stuck in a mindset that insists men remain widely more “privileged” than women and that notions of traditional masculinity are problematic. Moreover, as women — in particular, college-educated women — have come to make up a critical mass of the Democratic base, the party has correspondingly shifted...

Dems are unable to move away from being open borders and pro white genocide so it’s not going to happen.

“Reproductive health” is Democrat-speak for the right to kill babies. The Democrats are good at inventing euphemisms.

The answer is no. My grandson and his buddies are all country western type of attitude. Huge backlash against button down gay type people like Newsom.
