This is an easily accessible statistic. If you want to discuss what it means that a third of Americans didn't vote, or issues with intersectionality, I'm happy to do so, but the statistic comes directly from pew: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/07/07/61-of-u-s-women-say-feminist-describes-them-well-many-see-feminism-as-empowering-polarizing/

I understand what you're getting at, but it's not super relevant to the conversation at hand. Some women voted Trump. Women as a whole did not. If we're using voting Trump as a proxy for feminism/supporting men and womens liberation then the commenter would have to at least concede that women are more likely to support men's liberation than men are. Also, if this is to be a discussion of white women as it relates to respecting men, if men believe that nonwhite women are most likely to respect then then I'd love to see more men embracing their representation and elevating nonwhite women. I don't really see that. So it then goes back to why are men not supporting men? Why are men not elevating people that support men?
