  • More women voted for Trump this time compared to 2020
  • 46% of women who voted did so for Trump
  • Around 90 million people who could vote, did not vote (can be arsed to figure out how many women did not vote but probably half of that figure)
  • Voter turnout will likely be less than in 2020

As a foreigner reading these articles, I can just laugh. This "movement" is too little too late. Probably not even a real movement given how social media is an echo chamber so fucking removed from reality.

Good for them I guess, but the chance of doing real change was a few days ago, so can't take you guys seriously anymore. lmfao.

Yeah, lmao, they're losing their rights and are trying to find a semblance of control! lmfao!

And I'll bet 100% of the women pushing the American 4b movement voted for Trump or stayed home! And no way any of them were politically engaged and fighting for their rights before the election! Because otherwise your stats and points would be kinda fucking irrelevant right?

An obvious /s for the kids in the back. Even if their movement fizzles out, people are scared and trying to find a measure of peace. And laughing at that is a shitty thing to do.

I mean let’s just do numbers, that’s damn near 50% of women that didn’t vote for Trump and we know that 50% is majority younger women below 40. If even just half of that crowd, 25% of total younger women, join this movement, it becomes a disaster for men.

I mean if 100% of your dating pool are women and 50% of them decide they won’t date or have sex with you, that halves your chances of getting a date. Could even be worse for certain demographics like Latino men. That’s really rough. Even if half of what I estimate participate, that would still be a quarter of your dating pool gone and for men it’s already pretty dire as people are meeting/dating less and staying single longer.
