As a millennial male maybe I can give a bit of insight on this, because despite being a progressive Independent (sort of Democrat but not really) I, in some form, have also felt the invisible push to want to go to the other side of the aisle where, even though it is full of disgusting human beings, it still gives men respect no matter the circumstance (which should definitely not be the case either). But honestly I feel like it has less to do with Republicans and more to do with the environment Millennial men are dealing with right now more specifically the single dating world and the push pull struggle between men and women in relationships. I can't speak for women in other generations or if this even pertains to ALL millennial women, but a lot of millennial women have been generically hostile towards men just for being men. If you are a millennial woman, this statement might enrage you considering you don't like men telling you how you think or categorizing you, but let's look at the facts. Many studies have come out that detail just how large of a percentage of millennial women are feminists and how many scale more towards extreme feminism. Apparently 1 in 4 millennial women think that a guy asking a girl out for a drink or approaching them in a bar to ask to buy a drink is sexual harassment. Now I personally don't do this to begin with, but I think this statistic gives you a broad understanding of the shift within millennials. Also, look at the recent case with Aziz Ansari where he had no idea he was doing anything wrong, but then the girl he was on a consensual date with suddenly ousted him for being a sexual predator. This type of story would've never happened with a man and woman above the age of 30 or 35. This type of broad attitude towards men and essentially telling them they are garbage because all men are garbage, is what is seriously wedging a divide between men and women who are millennials. Of course, it is not the only factor, but I think it matters greatly.
I can tell you personally, I have been in many relationships with millennial women and have truthfully never been violent in any of them, yet have been hit, had dangerous objects flung at my head, and attacked many times by ex-girlfriends, which strangely occurs only with the women from America, and still through all of this, I and many other men I know have been constantly belittled just for being men. I had a friend who was stabbed by his girlfriend as well even though never being violent towards her whatsoever. It comes from a place where many women in my generation think that a man should never hit a woman, but apparently it is perfectly fine for a woman to physically lash out against a man in one way or another, but then turn around with the stance that men and women should be completely equal, which I whole-heartedly agree with, yet I think there is a large amount of over-privilege that many millennial women take advantage of either consciously or unconsciously even when they are with men who truly believe in equality. At least I can say this is why I have felt the temptation of being a part of a party that gives men more respect, but at the same time never would join them because they don't believe in equality between genders and races and are generally wrong morally, ethically, and logically on almost everything.
