Mothers need to be more honest with our sons about our experiences and pay more attention to the media they're consuming. This is an awful statistic.

This is what scares me more than anything. The kids are NOT alright. We have the boomers on one side and Gen Z on the other just freebasing right-wing propaganda on social media.

I used to think as the older generations die out things would finally get better here. I no longer think that. There's a tiktok brain-rotted, functionally illiterate, racist and misogynistic generation coming right up behind us.

Honestly, I wasn't surprised by the result because my Gen Alpha (9) son talks politics with me frequently, and he told me ALL his friends at school are Trump supporters. He is the lone holdout. I know they are all children and they more or less just parrot what they hear at home... but some of the stuff he's told me is wild. ("My friends say Kamala will make all the boys cut off their penises to become girls.")

We live in a very blue enclave of a blue state. He and his friends are all Asian immigrants/children of Asian immigrants.

My 20 year old brother and every one of his roommates is heartbroken and confused. There is hope, however small.

Because they don’t want to have to work for women. They want the ENTITLEMENT of having a housemaid and a sex slave like in the good old days. A lot of men hate women, but still want one around. This younger set sees their female peers living their best lives without them and they hate it. So instead of trying to elevate themselves and be better, then want to drag us back to the caves by our hair.
