It makes sense, how can one feel safe around a person who hates and sees other human beings as less than human? It's almost impossible to feel safe around a person like that.

honestly I can't tell whether a plurality of men think women are humans, let alone trans women ...

EDIT:

Lesbian, gay and bisexual women overwhelmingly identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party over the GOP (83% vs. 12%). Similarly, the Democratic Party enjoys a wide advantage among gay and bisexual men (83% vs. 17%).

Straight men are more likely to associate with the Republican Party than straight women (55% vs. 47%).

Men generally, but straight (and married esp.) men, seem to be "the problem".

  • Supporting the democrats does not make you a safe person for some people, especially class conscious minorities and vulnerable people who were on the kill list long before Trump
  • Capitalism and patriarchy are the problem not men.
  • Blaming men as if they're a monolithic effectively ignores the spectrum of gender that exists and further alienates people who haven't had the chance to meet their own selves.
  • Blaming men has become a terf dog whistle

pretty much agree with all of that 👍

Or, "the problem" is an uneducated electorate: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/government/politics-elections/2024/11/08/men-and-white-people-vote-differently-based-education

Whether this is due to "book smarts" or just a statement that going to college means you meet different people and generally expands your worldview, it seems to make a difference (men still more problematic than women, but less so when educated!).
