The internet and social media has been very unhealthy for some young women. Professor @CO. Hoosier the future looks bleak. They're turning more and more of them into socialist. I only have one daughter CO, she'll be an Austrian economist and Bitcoiner, but I can't raise all of them. @mcmurtry66 we need to start the conservative "View" ASAP.

Another important statistic: Women are more likely to have anxiety disorders than men. I think there is a cause and effect between high anxiety and being a political liberal. Anxious people are more likely to turn to third parties to give them relief. A substantial part of liberal political messaging these days is to relieve voters of the stress and worry of daily life. (Hope, joy, and feel good messaging has replaced blunt messages about national debt, crime, etc.) We have plenty of food in the USA yet we still are faced with food anxiety.

I've seen several studies showing they are more likely to be depressed and on an anti-depressant. It's scary. Not sure how it shakes out the next several decades.

It probably doesn’t help that they’re being bombarded with insane misinformation that “conservatives are coming for you and your body!”

These low T woke Dems don’t help anything but this is all the gram son. Damn!!! Sarah is in Paris! And I can’t even get a grande drink! I HATE THAT BITCH!!! I go to the gym every Fing night and it does nothing for my cellulite and this stupid ITSMEBECKY is always at dinners and doesn’t have a single dent!

Good luck scientifically establishing that link. This is nothing more than pseudoscience. Next, you'll be mapping liberal's skulls with calipers to identify the small religiousity portion of their skull.

This post is equivalent to one that states: Conservatives are more likely to have lower cognitive ability than liberals. Therefore, there is a casue and effect between being a conservative and being dumber. Dumber people need things made simpler for them--they can't understand or deal with context and nuance that exists in liberal positions. A substantial part of conservative political messaging these days is to dumb down issues and remove their complexity so that dumb voters don't feel stupid.


"The cognitive functioning of individuals with stronger endorsement of right–wing and prejudiced attitudes has elicited much scholarly interest. Whereas many studies investigated cognitive styles, less attention has been directed towards cognitive ability. Studies investigating the latter topic generally reveal lower cognitive ability to be associated with stronger endorsement of right–wing ideological attitudes and greater prejudice. However, this relationship has remained widely unrecognized in literature. The present meta–analyses revealed an average effect size of r = −.20 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) [−0.23, −0.17]; based on 67 studies, N = 84 017] for the relationship between cognitive ability and right–wing ideological attitudes and an average effect size of r = −.19 (95% CI [−0.23, −0.16]; based on 23 studies, N = 27 011) for the relationship between cognitive ability and prejudice. Effect sizes did not vary significantly across different cognitive abilities and sample characteristics. The effect strongly depended on the measure used for ideological attitudes and prejudice, with the strongest effect sizes for authoritarianism and ethnocentrism. We conclude that cognitive ability is an important factor in the genesis of ideological attitudes and prejudice and thus should become more central in theorizing and model building."
 
Trump is crushing it among young voters but it's mainly young men. Young women are single issue voters. Nothing you can do about it. Once they get married most become Trump voters though. Single women are the only thing keeping Democrats alive.

Did you listen to the podcast you gave me on the Book Cub? They speak a lot about changing culture. I’m drilling down on what that even means and why it’s changing. . Females using more anxiety meds is a fact. The effects of anxiety disorders is well understood. Young women being more liberal is a fact. Yes, I’m connecting dots between anxiety disorders and politics, but that connection is not without substance.

Meeting an argument with what the next argument will be is not very persuasive.

lol... in all seriousness the rise in mental health issues is scary. I assume it's a culmination of many factors; broken families, broken money, fewer fathers, fewer siblings, decrease in Christianity, social media, over prescribed anti-depressants, and etc. The birthrate in the U.S. recently plummeted to 1.6%, we're literally trying to exterminate ourselves. It's not good.

Is anyone on this board treated worse than our man of the cloth? The only one on here who has devoted his life to service. Not cockdriven. Not a money chaser. And look at that anger he evokes

We've had broken families, fewer fathers, decrease in religious attendance since the 70's.

It's social media. Our brains simply haven't evolved enough to deal with it. It's worse than most, if not all, Schedule 1 drugs. But totally legal for 12 y/o girls to be on it.

Right.

Your connection of the dots is unsupported. Re meeting the next argument, that's the logic you're using. It's wrong. You've established nothing more than a correlation. McM's correlation is much stronger and explains more (and also can't be proven to be a cause, I'm guessing). Plus, not that I put a ton of weight in the authority card, but McM, lars, and I all have teenage daughters. We see this on a daily basis with them and their friends. It's pretty obvious.

Young women today aren't facing more mental health issues because they are liberal. Liberal political messaging isn't causing women to take anti anxiety medication.

You're also contradicting yourself--you state more women are taking anxiety meds and that the effects of anxiety disorders would lead them to think liberally. But you're completely missing the fact that anxiety meds work. Therefore, you haven't explained the uptick in liberal belief. If anything, based on your reasoning, we should probably expect women to be identifying as conservatives more.

I agree, but not to the depth and degree that we have it now. Also, I think these things become worse over generations and take time to play out. If it happened for example in 1975, you were still more likely to have a couple of siblings, married grandparents, and etc. It also begs the question, who do you think is more likely on social media?

There's a lot of layers here. Social justic combined with social media combined with loss of good paying manufacturing jobs combined with......you name it.

But social media makes people venture into the unreal. Especially amongst girls. Boys do it with video games.

Nobody lives in reality any more. Every woman thinks they're a 10. Puhlease. I'm a solid 6 and proud of it (anyway you like to hink of that).

Women are, with reasons having nothing to do with liberal political messaging or politics at all.

Also chicks don’t understand bitcoin and blockchain technology so it gives them anxiety.

Read this and tell me that women aren’t under severe propagandist barrage of nonsense. Then add the clip of A’ja Wilson (who went to private school) telling Kelsey Plum that Paige Bueckers got to where she is because she’s white and also good at ball.

The liberal echo chamber of guilt and hogwash is certainly a strong part of destroying women’s mental health.

More simplistic, the most conservative posters here are claiming women are more liberal because they are crazy. There is at least a little misogyny there. Maybe, we are seeing this large gender split between the parties based upon where the cohorts feel most welcome.

I think some of this might be attributed to how and what we teach in schools. Public schools have spent more than a decade teaching DEI, and that is going to necessarily lead to more socially liberal views in kids who take that education to heart (and from the stats we see re boys v. girls in schools, it appears girls pay more attention and do better in school than boys do, on average). Economically, I'm not sure how many states require classical economics to be integrated into history curriculums, which is where or how you would inculcate that discipline because US history is required (economics is not). For this theory to hold, you'd have to compare female political ID with state curriculums. Might not hold.

I don't know if red states teach history with a conservative bent, from personal experience in Illinois, I can tell you they do have a built in direction towards progressive (farther left than just normal liberal) ideology. I doubt Hayek is getting much play in public schools anywhere, though.

What percentage of girls do you think are reading about or care about the WNBA, though?

Girls who are actively involved in sports are less likely to be anxiety ridden, too, and I think those girls are the ones most likely reading about the WNBA.

I think some of it is a reaffirming doom loop. There are more liberal women in education, today, who end up driving the curriculum more than 30 years ago. They’re also more likely to drive research, teach the teachers, who end up teaching the students. Getting 90% of them to believe all of that shit is a hell of brainwashing program. On some level, I’m jealous. I just want them to be brainwashed by other people 😁

To your comments, which have some credibility, I refer to 'Future Shock', written 50 some years ago by Alvin Toffler, a futurist.
This cognitive overload was foreseen...

I would put it the other way around: that women are more crazy because they are more liberal. 21st century liberalism has become progressivism which has bred anti-racist nonsense and continued insistence that women are constantly under attack. Who wouldn’t have anxiety?

My point isn’t about the WNBA - even though I’ve never seen someone being handled a crown jewel and bumbling it so badly - it’s that “this is how society has trained women to think.”

Someone should tells these broads to get back in the kitchen where they belong!... I'm kidding I'm kidding! 😂

In seriousness, and without looking it up, id wager that young women have always skewed towards liberal ideals. Particularly young educated women. They have for sure been the leaders of progressivism for a very long time. So saying, thats making them more anxiety driven than before doesn't really track. Probably does cause anxiety but it's always been there. The female species has a deep rooted instinct to protect and nurture at all cost. That's going to cause anxiety. Males have it too but it's different. More broad in nature. More territorial.

Social media is new though. That's the problem. As someone said above, our stupid monkey brains haven't evolved and caught up to the technology yet. We can't process it. It's a 24/7 reminder of what you don't have or what's wrong with you compared to others. I am 100% free speech guy but I do think social media needs some guard rails for minors. Same restrictions and warning we put on any other type of media. The FCC has rules on what sort of programs can be marketed to kids. Maybe social media needs to report to the FCC?
 
But you're completely missing the fact that anxiety meds work.
I'm not too sure of that. I know several women who are on anxiety meds and they are either more zombie-like or still have the same anxieties.

I'd like to see some studies about how they work. I'm not denying they have an effect - but I'm not sure they don't bring on other issues.

I'd also be interested to know how many suicides are on anxiety medication, because I'd bet a fair percentage are on them at the time of suicide.
