This is the pop-culture definition of toxic masculinity, and the crudest, most aggressive misogyny weve seen from Trumpwhich is truly saying something, given that hes an adjudicated rapist who was caught on tape bragging that he can grab womens vaginas without consequence. But this, perhaps even more than his reprehensible immigrant bashing and fascist overtones, is Trumps closing argument: to put women back in their place and restore men to total supremacy in America.

Any of you veterans with some teaching skills might find an increased market for self defense for women classes.

(4,728 posts)The Republican party right now is doing a really wonderful job of faking relationships, he says. The emails he receives from the Trump campaign which he signed up to for research purposes often start with exuberant personal messages such as I need you or I cant do it without you. Its ingenuine, Wilder says, recognising that some in his congregation which splits about 50/50 on party lines have fallen into the trap Mens health is something we overlook in America. Men want to be part of something to feel like they belong.

Young men have a sense of anomie, feeling unconnected to society. They are oppressed by the economic system, and organs of propaganda are directing those feelings to chosen targets on the left, the "Others". Divide and conquer. The remedy is to give them a feeling of worth - real innate worth, not the paleo-phony "worth" of the Right.
They are not the enemy. The Musks and Thiels and Bozoes and Morlochs are.

(3,383 posts)the veritable property of a man, unable to rebuke or deny him. Trump is gambling that this will be of appeal to every guy who's ever been rejected by some woman. Despite this fact, approximately 40% of women in the country will end up voting for Trump. I don't get it.
