Did you know that women tend to be further to the left than men? According to surveys, women are more leftist than men on abortion, same-sex marriage, and a host of other policies. I’ll show you a few surveys below. But even more interesting is that there is a link between support for leftist policies, and higher mental illness. Let’s take a look at it.

First, here is an article from The Hill:

Forty-four percent of young women counted themselves liberal in 2021, compared to 25 percent of young men, according to Gallup Poll data analyzed by the Survey Center on American Life. The gender gap is the largest recorded in 24 years of polling. The finding culminates years of rising liberalism among women ages 18 to 29, without any increase among their male peers.

That article is a bit old, here’s a new one from this week in The Post Millennial:

In annual surveys over the last few years, data pulled from Monitoring the Future has shown that about a quarter of high school seniors identify as conservative or very conservative. Only 13 percent of the 12th grade boys identify as liberal.

[…]The graph excludes moderate students, but of those high school seniors that do identify politically, around 65 percent of boys were conservative while only around 31 percent of girls identified that way.

According to surveys, young women are also more likely to support abortion under any circumstances (40 to 27) and more likely to support same-sex marriage than men.

I don’t support abortion because I favor the rights of unborn babies over the happiness of adults. I don’t support same-sex marriage because studies show children do better when they are raised by a mother and a father. And I think that’s why most of these men are with me, they follow that same reasoning, and side with the children against the adults.

I thought this part of the article was interesting:

As one Politico analyst put it, “Democrats have a masculinity problem.” Citing trends among black and Latino voters, the analyst pointed out that even in minority communities that have voted majority Democrat, men have been turning to the Republican party at higher rates than women.

Some conservative figures such as Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager (through PragerU) have millions of followers on YouTube, a platform where the users are majority male.

In addition, one of the more popular conservative political podcasts, The Ben Shapiro Show, has an audience that skews overwhelmingly male at 86 percent. The audience also skews younger, 18-44, in comparison to Fox’s former show with Tucker Carlson, 25-54, which skews slightly female at 53 percent.

This is good news. Boys are finding themselves role models who they see as “strong”. And those new role models are conservative. These stronger role models champion truth, and they make moral judgements. Even if it hurts other people’s feelings.

Let’s go on to the second point. These leftist policies are having a bad effect on young women’s mental health.

Feminist web site Evie Magazine reported on the some 2020 findings by Pew Research (left-wing pollster):

A 2020 Pew Research study reveals that over half of white, liberal women have been diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point.

[T]he study, which is titled Pew American Trends Panel: Wave 64, was dated March 2020 — over a year ago.

The study, which examined white liberals, moderates, and conservatives, both male and female, found that conservatives were far less likely to be diagnosed with mental health issues than those who identified as either liberal or even “very liberal.”

[…]White women, ages 18-29, who identified as liberal were given a mental health diagnosis from medical professionals at a rate of 56.3%, as compared to 28.4% in moderates and 27.3% in conservatives.

I found an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal that talked about how one leftist policy concern (global warming alarmism) is tied to higher rates of mental illness.

It says:

A study in 2021 of 16- to 25-year-olds in 10 countries including the U.S. reported that 59% were very or extremely worried about climate change, and 84% were at least moderately worried. Forty-five percent claimed they were so worried that they struggled to function on a daily basis, the definition of an anxiety disorder.

The study found that the mental illness was more common in younger people:

Climate anxiety and dissatisfaction with government responses are widespread in children and young people in countries across the world and impact their daily functioning.

So now we are looking at a direct link between the policies of the left, and the lower mental health of the left. And we know that more women than men are on the left. And we see more mental illness among women.  Interesting, isn’t it?

And this has consequences. Leftist women are noticing that men are more conservative than they are, and it’s affecting their dating:

The marriage rate is also declining. Could this decline in marriage be related to the increase in leftist women, and all the related mental illnesses that leftist women have? Does it make sense for a conservative man to enter a relationship where he pays all the costs and bears all the risks, but all the decisions are being made by a leftist woman? It’s dangerous for a man to do that.

Consider that the divorce rate is very high right now, and divorce takes away a man’s money, his access to his kids, and his freedom. Women initiate 69% of divorces. College-educated women  – who are especially leftist – initiate 90% of divorces. This high divorce rate cannot be blamed on men, because the divorce rate of lesbians is the highest of all. No man to blame in that situation.

Why would a man sign up to be controlled by feminist institutions, like the divorce courts? Men are not interested in projects where they have to pay for everything, but someone else is making the decisions. Especially if they get blamed when things go wrong.

Facing all of these risks, a man would have to be crazy to even talk to a leftist woman – much less date her. Unfortunately, we aren’t making enough young conservative women for these conservative young men to marry. And so, the marriage rate is declining. Young women today are not as conservative as previous generations.

I know a lot of people today are worried about young men falling under the influence of bad role models. But the surveys show that boys tend to have the right role models, and the right political views. So, we need to work on making young women more conservative.

I have a friend who is a libertarian. He has a very negative view of intelligence agencies today, e.g. the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA. He thinks they’re all spying on us all the time. He thinks they use their power to get Democrats, so their budgets, power and salaries will increase. And he thinks that after DeSantis’ Tuesday night town hall, that these agencies are going to stop him from being president.

Before we get started, please be aware that there is a Republican primary debate on CNN tonight at 9 PM Eastern. If you don’t have CNN like me, you can watch it free and live right here.

So, let’s take a look at what DeSantis said, starting with the clip that my friend thinks will get him “stopped” by the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA. This is real Barry Goldwater level stuff.

This is a really good clip. We don’t see politicians talking like this much any more. It’s really something else. I have been very disturbed by Obama weaponizing the IRS. Democrat-ordered pre-dawn raids on pro-life homes. Democrats designating concerned parents as “domestic terrorists”, and turning a blind eye to violence coming from BLM and Antifa. We really do need someone who will hold government employees accountable for using their power to elect big-government Democrats.

Anyway, I have another wonderful friend who reads the blog, and follows me on Twitter. And he has the view that Trump has to be the nominee because he is the only one who will stop the weaponization of government by the Democrat party. But when I watch that clip, DeSantis really does not sound anything like Trump. He sounds like he’s going to solve the problem in a way that Trump never did in 4 years of being president.

Remember, Trump had 4 years as president, 2 of those with a Republican House and Senate. He could have drained the swamp. But like so many of his other promises, he never did. And now, in 2023, he is going around explaining that he couldn’t do what he promised, because the left would get angry with him. Trump nominated Christopher Wray, who led the FBI. And Trump wants to build the FBI an enormous new state-of-the-art headquarters.

Trump is currently facing 91 indictments across several states, and many of those cases will be decided by judges and juries hostile to the Republican party. Even if he somehow manages to beat all these charges, and I don’t see how he could, the charges and accusations will still be used against him during the election. Polls show that if Trump gets convicted, he will lose over 10% of his support. Why would Republican voters take that chance, when we can run a candidate who doesn’t have personality disorders and criminal charge baggage?

Trump just isn’t the same guy that he was in 2016. This new ad from the DeSantis campaign is really good. It contrasts Trump’s bold, brash, confident talk from 2016, with his excuses and evasions in 2023:

He promised a lot, but he didn’t deliver. And we don’t have to choose him. He’s not the best candidate for conservatives. He’s not the best candidate for Christians. We will get more of what WE want if we choose DeSantis to be the Republican nominee, instead.

Anyway, some nice long clips from the Tuesday night town hall on Fox News.

If you want more, I tweeted out a whole bunch from my Twitter account on Tuesday night.

Cultural leaders decided a while back to teach young women that they should not conform to traditional roles of wife and mother. Traditional female roles are terrible, the leaders said, because being a wife and mother makes a woman unhappy. What women need to do instead to be happy is that they need to act like hot alpha male bad boys. They need to reject religion. They need to reject morality. They need to take out student loans to do worthless degrees in women’s studies. They need to get public sector jobs that aren’t challenging. They need to delay marriage for as long as possible, so they can get as much promiscuous sex with hot no-commitment bad boys as they can. And when they are ready to marry and have children (at age 38), then they should feel entitled to a man who has all the best characteristics of all the hot bad boys they slept with over the years. He will perform the traditional male roles: protect and provide. (But obviously not moral leader and spiritual leader) And of course, after a fairy tale wedding, these women will work outside the home, and the children can just go to daycare and public schools.

Now, obviously there are lots of women who are raised in good homes who reject all this nonsense. They follow traditional paths, and they expect to marry a traditional man, and homeschool their traditional kids. If they go to college or trade school, they learn STEM fields. If they get jobs, it’s in the private sector. If they have boyfriends, they don’t sleep with them before marriage. If they get married, it’s for life. If they have kids, they stay home with them. If those kids go to school, it’s homeschool. Those are traditional women. Traditional men get a lot of value out of marrying a traditional women.

But what happens to the feminist women? Are they bringing anything to the table that might attract a traditional man?

Take a look at this story from the New York Post:

An Australian woman who says she had sex with more than 300 people in one year found the experience “empowering.”

Annie Knight, 26, told “The Kyle and Jackie O Show” that she even managed to bed five people in a single day during the frisky, fun-filled year.

“I felt empowered afterward,” the amorous Aussie declared. “Sex makes me feel good. It’s meant to make you feel good.”

Knight sleeps with men and women and told the radio program that she met many of her sex partners on dating apps. However, she also has a roster of “regulars” on speed dial that she calls up whenever she feels like getting down and dirty.

“The messier the sex, the better,” she enthused.

Knight… added that nothing is off limits when it comes to experimenting in the bedroom, saying: “I’m down to try anything.”

Knight, who has an OnlyFans account… told “The Kyle and Jackie O Show” that there’s no shortage of kinky content on her page as she does “pretty much everything” on camera.

She’s making money on OnlyFans, because men who ought to choose better women are foolishly giving her money:

[S]he now earns around $1,000 a day with her risque content, which fans pay a monthly subscription to view.

I saw a clip of her being interviewed on the Joe Khamou show.

Here’s the last few minutes of the interview:

I was curious to hear that her religious upbringing was Catholic. She was baptized. She went to an all-girls school. And she is an atheist now. She also explained what she sees in the future, as far as relationships, marriage and children. She says she wants to settle down when she finds the right guy, and she’s “just doing this for fun” until she “finds the right person”. She expects a traditional man to commit to her, but she is anything but a traditional woman. She is a completely untraditional woman. So, she has everything to gain from this traditional man, but nothing to offer this traditional man.

Her actions have formed habits and a character that will make it impossible for her to perform traditional roles well, and impossible to be content with performing them. She has not read anything about how to do it. She has not submitted to wise leadership from adults who were good at it. She has no rational basis behaving morally when it goes against her self-interest. And she has no practice at doing anything that a traditional man would find useful for a long-term marriage and parenting enterprise.

Good men don’t marry women who do this. A good man wants to marry a woman who commits to him early on, and supports him during his difficult early years. The more a woman invests in a good man, the more he loves her. The more difficulties they go through together, the tighter the bond. The earlier they start building, the stronger the castle. Women who have not experienced the truth of this are the ones like Annie, who keep going for entertainment and excitement with the hot bad boys. They choose bad men, they complain about them, and then they imagine that there are no good men. Because they don’t choose good men.

Men understand that women who have intimacy with many different men train themselves to decouple intimacy from relationship. Such women learn to see sex as something self-centered, rather than related to a relationship’s purpose and goal. They don’t see it as a way of affirming the unity of two people who have committed to loving each other exclusively and for life. Married sex is designed to express unity of purpose and mutual support. In the long-term, women like Annie find it unbearable to participate in marital sex. They only ever wanted sex for themselves, with hot bad boys. They are completely unequipped for sex during a long-term commitment, where sex is about unity and support. Promiscuous women imprint themselves with the physical appearances of hot bad boys who didn’t commit to them, so that they no longer find the husband they “settled” for sexually attractive. And that’s why studies show that marriages with promiscuous partners are far more unstable.

Traditional men have learned to avoid the marital instability that comes from promiscuity. They understand that when marriages end, the woman typically gets the house, car, savings, full custody of the kids, alimony and child support. So, they are determined not to be the sucker that women like Annie Knight “settle” for.

Please help me to educate young feminists. Explain to them that getting social media attention and hook-up sex in the short term does not guarantee them a traditional man in the long term. Traditional men don’t find feminists attractive.
