    There are many women in the American right. However, Democrats would be smart to not just cater to women but to men.

      You’ve fallen for the false dichotomy that you have to pick men or women like their interests are inherently at odds and human rights is a zero sum game.

      Only way appeal broadly to both is to not favor subjugating one to the other, but support people in the relationships they want to have.

        Not just relationships but the problems each gender faces. Democrats have been too focused on the problems women face probably because they foolishly believed that since there are more women than men, this would enable them to win.

          This is utter nonsense. What they have not done is pander to the desire to oppress

            From https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/democrats-ponder-manosphere-rcna209806

            At the center of all of this is an acknowledgement that public opinion on the Democratic Party has dipped to an all-time low, men are souring on the party especially quickly, and losing ground with about half the voting population isn’t a recipe for success. It’s weighing heavily on the minds of Democrats while making Republicans giddy: On Friday, President Donald Trump needled Democrats for wanting to “spend money to learn how to talk” to men.

            Jeff Horwitt, a Democratic pollster with Hart Research Associates (who conducts the NBC News poll with a Republican counterpart), told NBC News that a look at recent presidential exit poll results shows that “when Democrats do well broadly with men, they are competitive. When Democrats are not competitive with men, Democrats lose.” And while Horwitt doesn’t believe Republicans “have a lock on young men,” the GOP spoke to their economic anxiety in 2024 in a way that loomed large in 2024.

      I’m not really seeing where the Democratic Party is doing anything to cater to women over men.

      Can I find examples of extremely loud activists that are terminally online and that might be saying what I consider rather dumb and unhelpful and counterproductive? Of course. That doesn’t mean that is the direction the party is taking.
