@SuneAuken Trump supporters taking themselves out of the gene pool, did you say? If only we were that lucky.

@SuneAuken
Don't you worry about rightwing marriages, conservatives have a 3-art plan for that:
1) force women into marriage by banning abortions (while making single parenthood unaffordable)
2) keep them there by limiting divorce and contraception
3) threat them with eternal damnation if they try and break the cycle

@TCatInReality

Literally speaking from my study in a vicarage: They can stuff point three. Does not apply.

Come to think of it, they can stuff point one and two, too.

Never give an inch to fascists. But you and I agree on that.

@SuneAuken

about 1 in 5 young singles will have little choice but to marry someone outside their ideological tribe. The other option is that they decline to get married at all — not an ideal outcome

duh. If us leftie girls are running out of left-wing men because all the guys love Trump (as the WaPo posits will happen), clearly the solution is polyamory. We can share the remaining non-rightwing men! Let the incels go extinct.

@amberage

Biology not siding with incels - ever.

I lol'ed this one. You are so right.

@amberage @SuneAuken It's funny that they consider being unmarried a "not ideal outcome" as if marrying some nazi pos who doesn't consider you to be human isn't substantially worse 😂

@craftycat @amberage

Even on a purely intellectual level the disconnect is quite a sight.

@craftycat @SuneAuken it really has strong "take a nazi or you'll never get laid, bitch" vibes.

@SuneAuken Forget American women... I don't think I'd want to either LOL.

@Howard

True.

No one in their right mind would.

@SuneAuken @Howard
You just gave the answer to the question you presented. No one in their right mind would consider a partner that agrees with a monster. This monster separated children, infants from their mothers with no intention to reunite them. I can't forget those images and the sound of the children crying inconsolable. The desperation of parents trying to find them. That alone disqualifies a human from my circle.

@BlueintheSouth

As it is written. So it shall be.

@t_mkdf

Agreed. Not unknown in Europe either.

@SuneAuken (Republican men, apparently, are still willing to mate with anyone who will tolerate them)

At some point a large portion of these men will have to refer to themselves as Volcels rather than Incels.

@sentient_water

True. Being a sexist pig can, indeed, not be feasibly characterized as "involontary". they could choose to see women as equals.

Also, they do seem to see themselves as the masters of their relationship so the actual feelings and convictions of their (subordinate) partners don't matter to them anyway.

@SuneAuken

The Washington Post is worried? Surely this is Darwinism in action Sune, and to be applauded. My worry is that there is a branch of human evolution in process at the moment which will have us headed in the direction of slime moulds.

@isaacmottistone

Oh, this is good. Not being able to secure a spouse for reproduction is indeed Darminism in action. They are not evolutionary fit.

@SuneAuken

WaPo is not known for its fair criticism of right-wing ideology. I fail to understand why this reporter expected the Post to spell out what's abhorrent to women in its readers' beliefs...

@SuneAuken As a woman who didn't end up finding someone (wasn't willing to marry a bigot) I have zero regrets.

@alison

Not being married to a bigot > being married, but to a bigot.

Nothing TO regret.

@SuneAuken Fabulous:
“If the institution of marriage is in trouble in this country it’s because so many men inadvertently revealed to women exactly what they stood for when they pulled the lever for Donald Trump. Perhaps the greatest irony of all is that those same religious-based “think tanks” that the Post cites—all of whom supported Trump in the first place—have only themselves to blame for the destruction of an institution they claim to revere.”

@tanyakaroli

Exactly. What does it tell you about a potential husband that he opposes your right to your own body, but idolizes a serial adulterer and rapist?

It's flabbergasting - and fundamentally an expression of bad faith - that this question doesn not appear relevant to WaPo.

@SuneAuken Interesting. It's a little hard to get if any science is supporting this view. Does it matter on any significant scale? And maybe more interestingly - is the same going on elsewhere? Does a political no-love-zone apply for example in Denmark/Scandinavia/Europe (where I live)? Or in other parts of the world? #nolovezones #thegreatdivide.#politicaldivide
