Why Democrats Will Not Get the Men’s Vote Back

The Democrats are not just at the mercy of their socialist wing. They are in a state of bewilderment as to why all their attacks on men—“toxic” is such an alienating prognosis—has disenfranchised their once-was base of blue-collar, unionized men.

Nevertheless, a recent opinion piece in that central pillar of leftist thought, The New York Times, titled “America Has a Masculinity Crisis,” has all the answers they cannot see—albeit between the lines.

In it, the Times’ culture editor, Nadja Spiegelman, speaks with Frederick Joseph, whose books include The Black Friend: On Being a Better White Person and Patriarchy Blues: Reflections on Manhood, and Ruth Whippman, a British-American opinion writer and the author BoyMom, to have a “much-needed, nuanced conversation about masculinity and feminism today.”

In the setup, the opinion piece says, “Young men are in crisis. While the left tells men to stay in their lane, members of the manosphere and the far right are welcoming them with open arms.” The opening paragraph then claims these handpicked authors will explain “what a healthier version of manhood could look like—and how we can get there.”

Joseph begins with “I think the reality is that we’ve always had patriarchy at the intersection of capitalism and white supremacy … .”

“Yeah, I would agree,” says Whippman. She then uses the phrase “caricatured masculinity” to describe what she calls “this tough guy, bulletproof man,” though doesn’t seem to realize this stereotyped simplicity is her bias on display.

Still, Whippman does then say something honest by noting that the left tells the men who complain about the treatment to “shut up,” which is not helpful to anyone.

After that snort of honesty, however, they continue on aggressively agreeing about the toxicity of the patriarchy. The discussion soon settles into a lot of wondering about how they can formulate a reductionist doctrine that boys and men will willingly ingest so they can be re-indoctrinated as voters for a Democratic Party that loathes them.
