It is not women's responsibility to use sex to cajole men into sucking less. First of all: Gross. Second of all, there's no evidence that sexual persuasion works. But some people still argue that, somehow or other, it's up to women to lure men away from Donald Trump and the MAGA movement. In response to my cheeky article last week arguing that women should lean into the cat-lady lifestyle in response to Trump's win, Ana Kasparian got alarmingly heated on the Young Turks channel, which is something of a safe space for feminism-averse "leftists."
"I just don't think this is a healthy mentality," Kasparian complained, essentially embracing the view that the "male loneliness epidemic" is women's problem, at least in part. She equated women openly refusing to date Trump supporters to those mythical misandrists who "demonize men altogether." Women, she said, have a responsibility to "engage in dialogue" with MAGA men in the hopes they might "change their minds."
