High School Boys are Trending Conservative

[Hindsight was 2020]

Part of me thinks the #MeToo movement might have caused a surge of high school boys to start identifying as conservative. In some of their eyes, the movement might have been "anti-male". This might also explain why that number is decreasing as of late; with #MeToo dying, high school boys have fewer perceived gender-based reasons to oppose being "liberal".

Most of the 2010s was dominated by catastrophically terrible feminist messaging that was pushed heavily by the entertainment industry and most left-of-center political parties in the west. It was a big mistake.

I say specifically the #MeToo movement because the data indicate there was a sharp decline of support for liberalism amongst high school boys from 2016 to 2018. The #MeToo movement started in 2017.

I get what you're saying. The MeToo movement in a lot of ways was the culmination of that terrible feminist messaging that I talked about.

While there were examples of guys who were unfairly accused to dismiss #metoo as “culmination of that terrible feminist messaging” is kinda unfair as it did a lot more good than harm

I didn't dismiss anything, but I believe all of the messaging surrounding it was mishandled.

But in what ways was it mishandled though?

I’m surprised we are like 7 pages in and there isn’t like any discussion on the fact that this poll has a response just called “radical” and not differentiating between far right and far left which is an important thing to improperly doc as the real headline could be an spike in identifying as a socialist over liberal
