Don't mean to be disrespectful but most western women are liberal so they happen to be anti communist

you know how sex pest destiny says that hasan is more evil than trump ,this is basically the same thing

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's very sweet of you to be worried about being disrespectful, the west is very much overrun by liberals and that definitely includes women.

I mean I get why communism is a turn off to normies. Politics is boring and depressing especially if you actually understand what's going on. And people want their treats and to have fun. But I for one will never stfu about communism a-guy

It’s hard to overstate just how little Americans understand about communism. My own parents just think it’s about atheism. I’m not even talking about people who have opinions on it but are wrong like “communism is when people are taxed to make everyone’s incomes equal”. I’m talking about the majority who can only loosely associate communism with “really bad thing”. Something like a vague notion that is evil like the Nazis but instead they were Russians. Our official “big boss” enemy. Their minds literally just go to cold and snow and all-male choirs singing Russian and big tanks and nukes.

These people do not know what communism is. It's true of the entire Anglosphere. Hell, I do act like a stereotypical Soviet sympathiser and my mum still has no idea I'm a communist, since I don't call myself one in front of her. (She'd never claim to be a socialist. And insists she's not a communist. But when we discuss actual questions of economic and social policy... well, I think she'd have liked Cold War era USSR more than Cold War era USA. And we tend to agree on most things, even when I don't hold back the way I usually do in mixed company. And if communist revolution were to break out in our country, she'd stay put, she isn't viscerally ideologically opposed enough to uproot her life even further under such circumstances.)

The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.

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.

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 44 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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.

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 24 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

any woman that is turned off by communism can go advocate for their own subjugation in someone else’s ear. i dont need women like that in my life. keep advocating for a system that didnt wanna give you the right to vote and only “liberated” you to the point that it can exploit you for your labor and reproductive capability.

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 41 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, this is basically just a measure of how many women are "moderate liberals". Being too into politics is seen as a red flag, and to removed from politics is a red flag.

Also, to be fair, there is a bit of a stigma with communist guys that I can definitely see influencing that position. Especially if their only interaction with them is the more aggressive CPUSA/Trot types at lib protests.

I openly identify as a communist, and haven't noticed it turning anyone off. Have seen a lot of guys obsessed with Rogan strike out...

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bit of an apples to oranges comparison, if you ask me. If you meet a communist they might get their ideas and news from any one of dozens of sects. If you meet a Joe Rogan guy he gets his news from Joe Rogan.

I’ll forever remember my coworker who challenged himself to work through all of his episodes at work and whenever he talked about it his only response was:

wow, he says the n-word ALOT.

[–] CleverOleg@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

Even taking off my commie and anti-racist hats… I cannot understand the uncontrollable urge some white dudes have to say the n-word (all the while telling you they definitely aren’t racist). Even at my worst, when I was a sort of a libertarian asshat who considered myself not racist but didn’t believe in institutional racism… never in a million years did I want to say that word. Like, even in a situation where there would have been zero consequences. I honestly don’t get it.

Being a communist has never once affected my sex life in a negative way. I’ve told women that I listened to Joe Rogan before (I was a fan in his pre Spotify days) and also never affected it.

The only time those things have stopped me from getting laid is when I get too drunk and start demanding excitedly that they read some books I’ve read. I also do this with sci-fi though so I think it’s not so much the media I ingest as my personality that unseals the deal.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't count the times I've inadvertently slowed (never stopped!) an intimate moment from becoming much more intimate because I got excited about a new book I'm reading.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 9 points 1 day ago

I mean ladies do like guys who read.

Women are the ultimate centrists.

I will not be taking questions.

We need to ask the real questions.

Are women bourgeoisie?

sometimes i forget joe rogan listeners are real. the other day i was sitting with some coworkers while they discussed what they listen to. i didn't say anything because all my shit is niche dork/left shit or some b.s. i have a parasocial relationship to... and i like listening to opinions more than speaking them these days, seeing as how familiar i am with my own already.

anyway, one coworker was really down on podcasts and preferred music, but would listen to NPR if they wanted to learn something (lol). then they offered that their brother only listens to podcasts and literally only listens to joe rogan and i started laughing before i could stop myself. because rogan listening is too on-the-nose, it feels like the setup for a bit. like somebody saying their favorite beer is bud lite or their favorite books are harry potter or their favorite movies are the mission impossible series. it's like saying "my favorite thing is actually the only thing i'm familiar with at all."

anyway.

i didn't get into communism to turn on women and glimpse their booba. awooga

i got into communism because i was curious and figured knowing more was better than knowing less. powercry-2

From the link to the change research poll info:

METHODOLOGY
Change Research surveyed 1,033 registered voters ages 18-34 nationwide from August 25-September 1, 2023. Change Research self-funded this research for public release. We used the following sources to recruit respondents:
● targeted advertisements using the Meta advertising platform
● SMS text messages
Regardless of which of these sources a respondent came from, they were directed to a survey hosted on SurveyMonkey’s website.
Ads placed on social media targeted likely voters nationwide. Those who indicated that they were not registered to vote were terminated. Those who indicated they were over the age of 34 were terminated. As the survey fielded, Change Research used dynamic online sampling: adjusting ad budgets, lowering budgets for ads targeting groups that were overrepresented, raising budgets for ads targeting groups that were underrepresented. The survey was conducted in English. The survey was conducted online by Change Research. Post-stratification weighting was performed on age, gender, region, education, ethnicity, and 2020 presidential vote. Weighting parameters were based on the demographic composition of likely voters nationwide, obtained from the voter file. The modeled margin of error* for this survey is 3.4%, which uses effective sample sizes** that adjust for the design effect of weighting.

Honestly how can one even conduct polls in this day and age.

I mean, Facebook ads???. I'm not even on Facebook, and I'd imagine a lot of the people who are have had their brains cooked! And even moreso for someone who clicks on an advertisement.

I really feel like what is needed is for text messaging to be improved by a lot before this stuff can be considered reliable. I want to actually know that the link I'm clicking on is from a trustworthy organization. But even then, there are probably differences in terms of who responds to polls.

I originally posted because I thought it was funny most women knew enough about Joe Rogan to know its a red flag but it being equal to being a communist is even funnier to me

The 10% gap between women and men on the communism question (and even worse on some other topics) is one of the reasons I have a hard time being into men despite being attracted to them

[–] Cricket@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I kind of wondered about this when I saw that graph. Holy crap, people who are attracted to men have some big minefields to deal with and limited positive options available to them! No wonder men have a bad reputation and that graph doesn't even touch a lot of it (like violence, etc.).

[–] VaqueroRed@lemmygrad.ml 37 points 2 days ago

Unattractive to women as Communism? Maybe to Anglos, the oppressed nationalities are red sympathizers!
