As unattractive as communism to women? I gotta say, putting a Lenin meme, a ☭, and “Let’s overthrow the ruling class together ❤️” in my Bumble bio did not cause me any trouble getting dates. It honestly seemed like a big plus.

I saw this study a while ago, and while I think it's pretty heavily BS, it did make me wonder: for how many women is being a Rogan listener attractive, versus how many women is being a communist attractive? I cannot name a single woman who would be more interested in someone if she knew they listened to the Dumb Guy Enables Fascism show, but I can name many who would be more interested and comfortable with someone who self-identifies as a communist.

So say 70% of women find being a communist unattractive and 70%, find listening to Rogan unattractive but then 20% find being a communist attractive vs none find listening to Rogan attractive? That’s an answer I’d believe.

I mean, I'm not into men so I'm probably not the type of woman they're trying to poll, but I'm definitely... being a communist in and of itself won't make someone I wasn't already interested in attractive to me, but I do feel more attracted to a cute girl who's also a commie.

I know like 2 women who are joe rogan defenders and they're both about 50 and terf-adjacent if not terfs themselves, and run in a circle that I would describe as "former radlibs" (people who live a sort of bohemian lifestyle but whose politics are stuck in early 2000s radlib-dom and for many of them, regressing in the face of social change)

Yeah it's gotta be this. Polarizing and "hated by everyone who has an opinion about it" are different but if you only measure negative reactions they look ~~different~~ the same.

“Let’s overthrow the ruling class together ❤️”

When I meet new people, I don't introduce myself. I shout "UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD" and then hiss and spit. If they don't respond well to that, it's easy to write them off as a reactionary that isn't worth my time.

this poll only focused on registered voters and shouldn't have been used to generalize about young women's dating preferences IMO.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, registered partisan Democrats regardless of the gender are basically insufferable. Most young women and men are apolitical, and due to that young men and women are usually more accepting of alternative viewpoints. Idk about it making you attractive though.
