  29. 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.

  50. I wrote this on someone's post and wanted to share it again so I could know what everyone thinks of this and hear what men/women have to say on the issue: The entire idea of "chivalry" is always going to be actively conflicting with the concept of a modern woman having complete independence and equality to a man both financially and culturally, because it requires that a man give the illusion that the woman is not as strong and requires special treatment and priority in the relationship because she is weaker, and usually only is the case when it benefits the woman. Not to mention, it's a little unfair to the man that they both allow the woman in a relationship to always have priority over a man due to "chivalry", all the while giving them total equal treatment in the times that it's serious and counts most such as when it comes to financial issues and who will work in a marriage. When you do the math you realize that it equals the woman always having a slight advantage over the man and is never really an example of true equality. It could even be having negative effects on the female gender as well, because this idea that a woman is weak and needs help could be fueling misogyny that led to the MeToo movement where powerful men found it easy to prey upon women and clearly did not see them as equals in the slightest. If "chivalry" is always going to cause this effect in our society for the rest of time, then I would recommend that we just get rid of the idea altogether since it doesn't really mean anything in the first place because we all know that a woman is strong and independent enough to take care of herself in this day and age and only pretending like that's not the case is just going to cause more problems between genders and still lead to certain men believing that modern women still don't act strong enough to deserve equal rights financially and culturally in the US. I don't know about everyone else, but I am a big supporter of total equality and wish "benevolent sexism" would start fading out of our culture altogether, because I'm sure a lot of men (and maybe even women) are just tired of the bullshit charade that it actually matters and women need to be pretend treated like they're weak and always need help.
