Feminists Are the Majority (Answeting My Original Post)

This is a response to my reply to a story that is here.

So what you're saying is that men are incapable of thinking for themselves and just let themselves get caught up in a tide of personal convenience. Thanks. As a leftwing white male, I really appreciate that bit of condescension.

The fact of the matter is that with wages being stagnant for the better part of two decades, men are not doing that well and fewer and fewer can support a family on just one income. Yeah, that is due to GOP policies, but the fact is also that feminists have demonized men while white men are also demonized by the party's black caucus. And since the Democratic Party has essentially become a woman's party, working class white males have increasingly abandoned our party because they are feeling less and less welcome.

It is thus up to not only the party leadership, but to the feminist and ethnic coalitions in the party to initiate a rapproachment with white working class males and address their concerns, their feelings and concretely demonstrate that they are indeed welcome and cherished within the party.

Approved
