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.

Tbf, I'm already not dating lol. I don't go to bars and I don't use apps, so I don't meet people (any new people, but that includes women to date).

"Just get a hobby"

Well, I have some, but it turns out women "just want to be able to enjoy their hobbies without being asked out," oh and one of my hobbies is walking in the woods looking at cool critters in creek beds, and they'd rather I be a bear than human, so I guess I'll just stare at this salamander for a while, get some mexican food, and watch KOTH with my cat like usual.
