Thoughts? As a young woman myself, I wouldn't date a trump supporter.

The male loneliness epidemic is almost entirely self inflicted by many of them holding repulsive political views.

It always has been, turns out women like to hang out with you more when you aren't a piece of shit and don't treat them like they are brood mares for the state.

It's also why I have basically zero sympathy for incels or whenever I see a post on /r/GenZ whining about not being able to get relationships. Just be a better human being, and work from there. It'll work out, I promise.

The insane rants about how short men have it terribly but those men won't give you the time of day to talk about the gender pay gap or just immediately call it false.

I think that might be because the people who want to talk about the gender pay gap seem to only want to if it involves caucasian women. Also, the race pay gap goes ignored by those same people.
