Jia Tolentino argues that Trump's victory is rooted in a decades-long gender war, where the shift towards female empowerment left some men feeling marginalized and seeking a return to traditional gender roles.
Tolentino notes the stark voting divide: young women overwhelmingly supported Kamala Harris, while young men leaned towards Trump, reflecting broader conservative versus progressive gender values.
The author emphasizes the emotional undercurrents of the election: men fear women's independence threatening their status, while women worry about losing agency to male power, highlighting deep societal anxieties.
