If anyone were to ask me what I think about manhood, I would assume they were a Trump voter. Don't do this.

MODERATORS
To be clear, the article is talking about correlations in polling, not suggesting you strike up conversations with your neighbors.
Tbf, I'm an anarchist/antifascist (aka non-Trump voter), and I definitely have strong opinions on manhood. They just happen to be the opposite of what the MAGA nuts would believe.
Either that or they were fishing for dick pics
The most interesting piece of this for me is that the "gender politics index" is an even stronger predictor of Trumpy support than the "modern sexism index." The gender politics piece is outrage politics - it's culture-war, cult of victimhood stuff with minimal substantive claims attached. And that's what most strongly predicts voting preferences.
What that means to me is that, as with everything that makes the news coming out of high profile republicans, their positions are utterly cynical and calculated to induce fear-based rage voting, rather than a reflection of a sincerely held set of moral and cultural beliefs.
You don't have to ask them anything, they will tell you imemdiatly. Telltale signs are also red MAGA hats or the use of the word "cuck".
This is an interesting article showing about across the political divide people feel about masculinity. Interesting to see that both feel like a new definition it's needed with positive role models. The difference is which direction to go.
