#i know thats not super realistic unfortunately so focusing on education + continuing to make strides for women is really important

i think the reason younger men are becoming more conservative IS because of feminism! like as much as we talk abt how the patriarchy harms men in the end structural misogyny is beneficial to them, because it puts the onus of all domestic labor on women and keeps them out of the public space entirely. it allows them to be provided with female companionship regardless of the value they bring to the table.

but the response to this shouldn’t be to say that women need to give up the small amount of power they have gained so that men will stop becoming more conservative or to like. raise the birth rate idk. which is where i think a lot of these journalistic analyses fail.
