YouGov US: “Women and politics: What Americans think about the 2024 election and how views have changed.”

Interesting. An example of how the word “anti-feminist” is making ever greater inroads into the mainstream. An extract, in which there is a very useful graphic on the website article:

Views on feminism and gender equality

The majority of Americans (55%) say they do not identify as either a feminist or anti-feminist. One in four (24%) say they are either a feminist or strong feminist, and 9% say they are either an anti-feminist or strong anti-feminist.

About one-third (31%) of women identify as a feminist, while 8% say they are anti-feminist. Feminist identification is especially common among women who support Harris (60%) or have college degrees (43%). Women who support Trump are more likely to identify as anti-feminists (12%) than as feminists (7%).

Men are somewhat more likely to call themselves feminists (17%) than anti-feminists (10%). Men under 45 are more likely than older men to adopt both labels: 23% say they’re feminists and 15% say they’re anti-feminists. 40% of men who support Harris see themselves as feminists, compared to only 5% of Trump-supporting men. While college-educated men are slightly more likely to identify as feminists than men without a college degree, the education divide among men is far less stark than it is among women.

Perceptions of the term “feminist” are split. 30% see “feminist” as either mostly or completely positive, 35% as mostly or completely negative, and 27% as neutral. [J4MB emphasis]

Saoirse Ronan says reaction to women’s safety comment is ‘wild’

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“No amount of facts about this (for instance that young men are far the most at risk of violent crimes than young women) will prevent a huge queue of luminaries of both sexes “supporting” all manner of action. Based on the “fears” of women rather than the evidence. And of course no one will even consider that males should have the same expectation of never even having to think of their safety because they are invulnerable, even though they are far more likely to be assaulted or killed. Gynocentrism.

And what does Saoirse base her comment on, conversations around the dinner table, not about actual experiences but things the women do when they are “suspicious” The fake phone call refers to someone who suspects they are being followed by a potential attacker, and pretends to take a call on their mobile to protect themselves. Could it simply be “suspecting” someone reflects her feelings rather than anything about the “suspect”? I’m certain had any of the male panel mentioned precautions they may have taken they’d be basically treated as “wimps” even though they’d be wiser to do so given the actual stats.”
