    Conservatives are into controlling people and mostly controlling women. If anything is surprising, it is that there are any women conservatives at all. This is also very similar to religions that treat women poorly. Why are any woman part of those religions?

    Went nuts dating these last 5 years, went out a lot. Even in this very conservative area, women will quickly want to know if you’re a Trump supporter. Or, they refuse to say a word about politics for fear a man is MAGA.

    And it’s not always because of their personal politics! They’ve tried to be openminded, but conservative guys tend to be assholes. These women have been argued with, screamed at and abused, sometimes physically.

    I have no idea how you get a decent dating pool if you don’t hide your conservatism. Worked out for me though!

    OK, so what was going on in the world around 2010 that caused such a sharp rise in women becoming more liberal?

      FTA:

      The #MeToo movement was the key trigger, giving rise to fiercely feminist values among young women who felt empowered to speak out against long-running injustices. That spark found especially dry tinder in South Korea, where gender inequality remains stark, and outright misogyny is common.

        Yeah, it also doesn’t help that in SK, men are conscripted to the military for years and enter the workforce with somewhat of a disadvantage.

        “Misogyny” is half the story.

      There’s no such thing as a “hot liberal”; liberals are inherently spineless and milquetoast. Revolutionaries are hot, but the west doesn’t really have those anymore. The FBI had all of them shot, incarcerated, or exiled decades ago.
