Sorry, you cannot view this.

@JessTheUnstill @susankayequinn @mavnn my personal head canon is that a lot of men have ALWAYS felt this way but lied to the press because they knew being honest would make women "all uppity" and piss them off.

Now that women are not trusting men At All and are analyzing actions not words... And rising egalitarianism means that nasty boys reciting the spells of old no longer gets them laid... They're being honest. And in very "LOCK DOWN AND TRACK WHATCHU GOT, FELLAHS!" ways.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I think there is some of that, but honestly I think the reality is a lot more complex than a single chart (or my initial exasperated comment). People feeling 'allowed to say what they really think' is a thing, but so is people changing opinion, even quite fast, and not having the self awareness to notice. We all tend to assume we've always been like we are now, and a lot of people don't challenge the assumption.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] about the age range thing: I hope that's true. I'm also in a smallish town in Italy, so gender related social dynamics have a bunch of other factors playing in.

@mavnn @JessTheUnstill @epilonious

it's important to remember the backlash is severe because the progress is real

and also that the young men who broke for Trump because they were promised the rewards of patriarchy are already changing their minds about that
