In reply to the discussion: Our side needs to attack "bro culture" [View all]RJ-MacReady
(603 posts)41. I don't have the answers
But what I do know is this contributes to our side losing voters. When I say attack it I mean attack the cancer that is toxic masculinity without saying it. Again I don't have the answers though but I do know its effective at roping young men in. I will say it certain'y hasn't helped but in fact has greatly hurt us by being dismissive of young white men and their concerns. We have pushed them away, in colleges you have some of these nutty professors blaming white people for everything etc etc. This stuff matters why would young white men vote for our party when its supporters openly chastise them and dismiss their concerns? This has to be in the top 3 priorities rebuilding our party. Figure out what we can do to gain their support again.

I don't like the 'real life' version either. It all wreaks of unearned privilege.
