(3,978 posts)throughout the states of the union are not happening by accident. The idea that it is only men alone that are allowing this to happen is not true. Furthermore, we need to shake off the belief that the GOP has gained power through voter fraud, and accept they are doing something to resonate with the average voters. Reality is, despite their obvious actions to someone that has cultivated critical thinking they are winning the message wars. Women outnumber men as voters in the U.S. and yet we are seeing sweeping changes to women's right throughout the Union which was already fought over decades ago. In other words, the society as whole, more specifically younger women are not really buying into a large portion of the feminist movement. Whether it is because of how the GOP has allowed the connotation of being labeled feminist to turn a negative is very possible. Or, they are also buying into the GOP notion that feminists have caused the increasing divorce rates in the U.S., and the gradual destruction of the traditional family unit.
