While many believe young people are becoming more liberal, data shows that 12th grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative compared to liberal. Around 25% of high school seniors identify as conservative while only 13% identify as liberal. In contrast, the share of 12th grade girls identifying as liberal has risen to 30%. Many factors may contribute to this trend, including the rhetoric of Donald Trump which appealed to disaffected young men, and the focus of progressive movements on issues of gender and racial equality which some young men perceive as a “matriarchy.” However, most high school seniors claim no political identity, and many boys in high school do not actively discuss

    You would think the answer would be obvious, but I guess some men just refuse to offer women what they actually want.

        What do women want? Every woman is different, so that’s for you to figure out. And if you can’t figure it out, it’s not women who are responsible for that.

          Well I am married, but I think that majority of men legitimately have nothing to offer and that’s why so many are single

          I also thing that women often expect things from men that are not possible

          I believe this mostly stems from the fabric of society being rotted away by social media and neither gender is happy
