Summary

Donald Trump’s 2024 victory reflects growing discontent among a segment of men, especially in the “manosphere” that criticizes women and celebrates traditional gender roles.

Fueled by grievances over shifting social dynamics and economic insecurity, many men view Trump as an embodiment of “alpha male” values. Despite his policies favoring the wealthy, Trump has gained traction among both white and minority men.

His administration’s Project 2025 agenda includes restrictions on reproductive rights, aligning with “red-pilled” anti-feminist sentiments.

      Why do some people automatically associate misogyny with homosexuality? Misogyny is about hating women rather than being sexually attracted to men.

        I mentioned neither. The fact remains that young men broke for Trump, and Trump had anti-trans advertisements aimed right at them.
