Why the political worldviews of young men and women are increasingly diverging | DW Analysis

To me as I listened to the video it became clear that the real issue is how a lot of this is driven on the male side from the era where men look at it as their entitlement to the best looking most attractive women they are attracted to, but can not have.  So they feel women are the real enemy, rather than the system that is denying each gender of equality.  Why do incels feel entitled to a female, a woman that is to please them as they demand / wish?  Because for far too much of history that was how men were taught to look at women, taught that females were to be used, subjected to their whim, to keep them happy but not really a person like they are.  They don’t see women as full humans like them.   The day that men and women see each other as equal will be the day all this conflict dies.  Hugs.  Scottie

Young men are more likely than women to drop out of college, commit suicide, and support far-right parties. But while misogynistic influencers like Andrew Tate are correctly blamed for fueling the incel manosphere’s backlash against feminism, there is a lot more to this story than incels, culture wars and wokeness. From stagnant economies and unaffordable housing to fears of cultural obsolescence, young men are grappling with a myriad of challenges that seldom enter the public discourse. So what is really behind the growing political rift between Gen Z Boys and Girls?

In the video we talk to Richard Reeves, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and author of the book “Of Boys and Men” where he explores all the ways in which the modern male is struggling. Alice Evans, visiting scholar at Stanford University, who is travelling around the world to study this divide and makes the point that lagging economies, corporate algorhythms, and patriarchal mentality can explain this backlash. And Neil Shyminsky, Professor at Cambrian College and famous on TikTok as @professorneil, who sees in Influencers like Andrew Tate as a main threat.

The GOP Has A Plan! It Will Backfire!

Everything that Tengrain says is true.  But it is not new.  Remember Netanyahu pulled this during the Obama administration.   Currently he brags how he has for decades screwed over the US government and how he can make the US congress / republicans do anything he wants.   Why??? Well the Israeli government lobby in the US spends millions on millions on every congressional race, trying to get only pro Israel candidates elected.   Yet while the ultra pro Israel lobby has billions of dollars to spend influences US elections, the US taxpayers give Israel about 4 billion a year plus all the military support they want.  Does that make sense?  To Israel, they see the US as an ATM they can abuse and take all they want.   Hugs.  Scottie

FL Man Charged With Hate Crime Murder Of Gay Man

This is what all the republican hate driven political crap causes.   Simply put it is the same tactic Hitler used.  Vilify the people that you want to harm, so that they are less human and your followers feel entitled or allowed to harm them.  I have faced / felt this all my life.  I thought that with the advancements and acceptance going forward with the modern age all that abuse could change.   Then came tRump and his maga, which gave them permission to unleash their worst demons on the LBGTQ+ at any age, especially the most young in schools.  It seems the republican maga fundamentalist right thinks it is ok to beat the LGBTQ+ out of any kid.  But if they grow up into an adult still being that way … well we have the right to kill them.  Can everyone see how disgusting that is?  Sadly, some days I feel so frustrated screaming into the wind.   Hugs.  Scottie


 

The Tampa Bay Times reports:

Hillsborough County prosecutors charged a man with murder Friday, alleging that the fatal shooting of a gay man last month at the West Dog Park in Tampa was a hate crime.

Gerald Declan Radford faces a second-degree murder charge in the Feb. 2 death of John Walter Lay. Friends of both men told the Tampa Bay Times that Radford had been harassing Lay for months, hurling homophobic slurs and threatening him. Radford claimed the shooting was self-defense.

The office of Hillsborough State Attorney Suzy Lopez announced Friday that they plan to seek an enhanced sentence against Radford under the state’s hate crime statute.

Tampa’s Fox affiliate reports:

Investigators said they first came in contact with Radford after he called 911 about the shooting. He claimed he shot Lay in self-defense, and with no witnesses to the crime or evidence to prove otherwise, Radford wasn’t arrested.

Hillsborough State Attorney Suzy Lopez said her office is now preparing for Radford to attempt to use the “Stand Your Ground” defense. Lay’s sister, Sabrena Hughes, told FOX 13 that the shooting followed two years of harassment and homophobic slurs directed at her brother by Radford.

Authorities also found a video on Lay’s phone. The video was taken like a selfie of the victim as he detailed a threat that was made to him by Radford, according to deputies. Lay claimed in the video that Radford told him, “You’re going to die.”

Tampa’s ABC affiliate reports:

 


Colonel Frank Losat with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said the cell phone video on the victim’s phone and character witnesses provided evidence that the suspect did not act in self-defense. Lay had been complaining to his friends about harassment from Radford at West Dog Park for months.

“Some time prior to the shooting, we’re not positive on a timeframe at this point, the suspect and the victim have an altercation over the victim’s sexual orientation,” said Losat. Radford remains in the Hillsborough County Jail.

I normally included the comments because the comments often have many very relevant and important ideas.  But I am sorry I no longer strong enough to do that.  I have a dozen more posts I want to make, but I no longer have the ability to do it they way I once did.   Love and hugs to all.   Scottie

Some old ones I won’t get to do long posts on.

Mighty Christian of this first one.  Good old republican Christian concern and caring.  Hugs.  Scottie

Read the full article.
The bill’s author, state Sen. Jay Trumbull, previously appeared here for his successful bill allowing medical professionals to refuse to treat LGBTQ patients. Last year, he authored a bill allowing businesses to sue to block local LGBTQ rights ordinances and other regulations.
Of note, the lead attorney in the lawsuit is Roberta Kaplan, who is best known to most as E. Jean Carroll’s attorney. Kaplan was also Edith Windsor’s attorney in the landmark Supreme Court ruling on DOMA.
Read the full article. Per the report, Jackson continues to call himself a retired admiral even though he was demoted to captain.
This is quite a story and as you’d expect a portion of their ideology centers against LGBTQ people.

OK with this first batch I am trying to reduce the 74 posts window I have open.  I have to start shrinking these windows.  That means I can not go deep in depth on each thing I think is important to share.  So for a few days I am going to shotgun a bunch of older stuff out.  Do I expect everyone to read all of them?   NO!  What I hope is people see story titles that interest them, open them, and follow the story which is what I do.  So expect a few more of these as I clear out old tabs.  Hugs.  Scottie

How and why

I finally had a chance to catch up with the grand Rev. Ed Trevors. Here are some clips

What I love about this one is that he talks about it is not his job and he doesn’t have the right to force or demand you to live his life, his ways.   Nor do you have the right o demand or force it the other way on him.  He says it is not his job to make you the same religion he is.  He says it is his job to show you the love of Christ in the gospels and if you decide it is not for you or you want a different church he is very fine with it.  He is not charged by his god to make you be the same religion / faith or join his church.  His job is to live god’s love, and by example show you that love.  He says if your faith says don’t do something, then you shouldn’t do it.  But only those who also believe like you, everyone else is free to do it.   What a refreshing thing to hear a religious person say.  Hugs.   Scottie

Utterly Unfit …

Again Ten Bears found and posted a great video that everyone should see before they vote.  Thank you, Ten Bears.   Hugs.  Scottie

Some short videos about trans kids and the harrasment and troubles they face. Anti-trans laws / hater parents do not help

Due to not feeling well and the number of videos, even though they are short so are in foreign languages so I had to use the CC for those, so it took almost a week and a half to watch these and post them.  So I did not include because it caused me to trigger, like the ones where parents beat their gender nonconforming children, to make them be the gender they were assigned at birth.  That is like trying to beat the gay out of a kid, you can scare them into hiding it but you can’t make it go way or change it.  I simply wanted to give those that don’t understand trans kids or trans people a way to see what it is these people are dealing with.  Maybe it will change some people from being haters to being trans supporters.   It only take a few people to believe in a LGBTQIA persons worth to make a huge difference in their lives, maybe even save a life.  I hope people will take their time and watch the videos as I did, a few at a time over how ever long you wish.   If you watch only one, please watch the first one where a trans hater learns that the trans neighbor she like was trans, and well she learned and grew.   Hugs.  Scottie

So for my theater class, our final was to create a short film. I decided to do a film about a female to male transgender teen. I apologize for the binder, it’s really bad. I didn’t own a real binder. Ignore that please. I hope you enjoy it.

Young and Trans. Watch this powerful short film challenging the stigma of what it means to be trans today. Let’s come together for a brighter future.
We have been filming transgender boy Kai since he was 9 years old. In this film, Kai is 14 and reflects on coming out and taking hormone blockers. We also hear from Alex, 18 who is also trans and has started taking testosterone. Kai meets with Tayler, 19 and they both visit the Museum of Transology, where founder E-J Scott gives them a tour.

This is 5 years of a 10 year project, filming Kai, as part of a wave of trans youth, who have been given the best opportunity in life, never having to go through ‘the wrong puberty’.
