Very excited by the FDU poll results out today. First, let's look at the gender gap.

The difference is NOT between men and women: it's between the 60% of men who are tied to traditionally masculinity, and literally everyone else, men and women alike. Image Among men who claim to be "completely masculine" on a masculinity/femininity scale (as masculine as the scale goes), Trump leads 64/35. Among other men, Harris leads 55/35. That number is no different than the vote choice of women, regardless of their self-assessed femininity.

I clicked through before realizing this was me. My argument is that by focusing attention on Trump, especially in conservative media, the indictment generally helps him in the primary. So long as we’re talking about Trump, other contenders aren’t getting any air time.

It's official release date for my new book with @besencassino. I'm really proud of this work: we show how men use all kinds of social and political behaviors to try and bolster their masculinity, to prove to themselves, and others, that they're really "men." Vote choice in 2016 and 2020 seems obvious, but we also cover sexual harassment in the workplace, parenting, use of specific types of pornography, gun purchases, panic over transgender access to restrooms.

I don’t follow Q closely enough to know if this is an accurate representation of their beliefs, but boy do I hope so. First off, these guys have the Hollow Earth in their crazy board. The lost civilization in the center of the Earth.
