I think there needs to be discussion on why there is still a huge gender gap

[Quiet Em]

The media is not pointing this out, but it's there and it has been there the entire time.

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president?

Men - 49% approve - 45% disapprove
Women - 33% approve - 61% disapprove

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Pete Hegseth is handling his job as Secretary of
Defense?

Men - 44% approve - 41% disapprove
Women - 28% approve - 54% disapprove

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling - immigration issues?

Men - 54% approve - 41% disapprove
Women - 35% approve - 59% disapprove

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling - the economy?

Men - 48% approve - 46% disapprove
Women - 32% approve - 63% disapprove

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling - foreign policy?

Men - 49% approve - 46% disapprove
Women - 31% approve - 62% disapprove

Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling - trade?

Men - 48% approve - 46% disapprove
Women - 31% approve - 63% disapprove

The same gap is there for for how the con is handling foreign policy, the federal workforce and deportations.

This is an obvious disconnect here. The only agreement in this Quinnipiac poll was that nobody likes or approves of Mike Waltz except Republicans.

1. now you know why the gqp wants to eliminate women voters.

the SAVE act will definitely save them for the dustbin of history.

2. In this country we have many tens of millions of insecure men, needing a tough guy bully daddy figure

to make them feel less shitty about themselves and their shitty lives. They try to feel superior through misogyny, racism, toxic masculinity cosplay, gunhumping, and being a good Maga cultist for Dear Leader. They're all extremely pathetic and unappealing.

3. Because men are finally getting their revenge

I think we've underestimated how many men despise women. And Trump and his appointees are all despicable. Women know that, if they have their way, we will lose all of our rights. Men might've happy with that, but it also doesn't affect them, so they aren't as worried.

6. The elimination of DEI is a real plus to white males who feel DEI blocks them more than women

Affirmative action and DEI programs very much benefit white females although Republicans only focus on the racial aspect.

WOmen can see Hegseth firing women leaders. The book bans is pulling down books focused on gender..that's white women books. Not just lgbt

7. I agree

it seems obvious that many men are actively against women in leadership roles, and unconcerned about gender issues in general.

4. Men think trump is behaving manly..the way he curses. Insults. Doesnt care what people think

5. When Trump won in Nov 2024

"...girls cried and the boys played minecraft."

Although that statement was referring to high school kids, it reflects attitudes. "Womens' issues" are still seen as the domain of women. Many men still feel more comfortable with male leadership. The old paradigm is alive and well.

We are failing both boys and girls in this society.

8. Mump's appeal is that he tells white men it's OK to hate women and brown people.

And he tells them they're right to think the small amount of unearned advantages that have been taken from them amount to abuse against them.

For 50% of American men and the women who are financially dependent on them, that's a powerful appeal. It overrides a lot for them.
