Read this article from the LA times this morning:

According to recent polls Obama has lost the overall white vote in big numbers since April. The elderly and the white female vote most of all.
Among white Democrats, Obama’s job approval rating has dropped 11 points since his 100-days mark in April, according to surveys by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. It has dropped by 9 points among white independents and whites over 50, and by 12 points among white women -- all groups that will be targeted by both parties in next year's midterm elections.
This seems to lend some support to my earlier claim from yesterdays post that perhaps women or more specifically white middle class women are also becoming dis-satisfied with the political wing of the feminist movement.
My opinion has always been that by and large Obama's white support came from the white female vote and that women's special interest groups were the ones who gathered this support for him.
"While Obama has a lock on African Americans, his support among white voters seems to be almost in a free fall," said veteran Republican pollster Neil Newhouse.
As I posted earlier now maybe the time to actively try and gain more sympathy from white middle class females for men's rights issues.
I know so many of them comment that they are not like that, yet still take advantage of every biased law and legislation passed for them when it is useful.
But a guy can still hope can't he?

ReplyDeleteHonestly, this isn't going to work. Women will find some excuse to not support men's rights no matter how crazy and illogical that excuse is.
One thing Whiskey has talked about is how in Britain, the BNP (British National Party) has been gaining votes from white women. This is because the BNP is not a right wing party, but a whites only (really British only) socialist party (i.e. Al Sharpton for white people). What we will see is white women support BNP style parties and candidates long before they give any support for any part of men's rights.
Your prolly right. But in order to reverse the anti-white or overly pro minority legislation it would mean over turning the also pro female (since they are one and the same) and possibly remaking it as more equal?

ReplyDeleteOnly as an accidental side effect. White women can do things such as claim that racism is dead but not sexism. White women can also do things such as support tough measures against illegal immigration which does not require overturning pro-minority legislation. It works by keeping more minority beneficiaries out.
To answer you question any benefits to men because of this are more of a side effect than anything else.
