Young women trending liberal/Democrat.

[Kath2]

I've been reading a lot about young women trending liberal and Democrat now. I like it but it is amusing to me.

A lot of us, maybe most of us, were trending very liberal and Democrat when I graduated high school in '76. We were anti-war post-Vietnam and excited about the women's movement. And I noticed the same through community college, university and law school. That "trend" has been in effect for a long time and I suspect it will continue to grow.

1. Sucks for the young MAGAts! LOL n/t

2. It makes perfect sense since they're seeing the other party do it's damnedest to strip

we women of our rights. I hope they keep it up. Roe v. Wade was decided when I was 19, so choice was something I took for granted all through my childbearing years. Even though I'm way past that now, it upsets me that these young women have had that choice snatched away from them by 5 corrupt, religious ideologues. I hope more of them become active -- it's the only way we're going to defeat them.

They see through the BS and know who is taking their rights away.

3. Also high school class of '76.

Male, but also a passionate liberal Democrat and highly supportive of the women's movement.

10. My son graduated from high school this year and he happened to attend the same high school

that I did.

All I can say is just how heartened I am by the upcoming generation. A night and day difference in terms of the widespread dedication to social justice and forward-thinking compared with what typified the same school in 1976.

I was in a relative minority back then.

Progress.

6. I graduated high school in 1966..

the Vietnam War was looming..by the time I graduated from college, the war was a never- ending horror and the fight to legalize abortion became real..friends were fighting and dying in Vietnam, young women were bleeding to death from coat hanger and back alley abortions...we protested the war, marched for civil rights, and a woman's right to choose..William Faulkner said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past."...yes
