Trump isn't all that great but he's not some political radical. Did a bunch of nazis vote for him ? Sure, but so did a lot of other people considering he is your president. This isn't about Nazis, this is about men voting for Trump, who women also voted for. How do you even know how many of these guys are single and unable to sleep with somebody ? The original article is about guilting the other side for not just shacking up with the guy who voted for Trump. Just like every dumb article blaming liberal people for Trump because they were mean to some redneck that one time.

I'm not saying people don't switch sides because they lack actual beliefs and Becky on side A is mean. All my Aussie friends are posting stuff about the vote coming up to finally catch up with marriage equality and on every one were "yes" people said something mean there's a comment saying " pfft and they wonder why the yes vote is dropping". Shits not about Becky being a bitch, it's about whether or not you believe in equality.

The end of the article didn't frame it like that, it points out that maybe if nobody wants to date you you're the problem which isn't unfair. Sometimes as adults we realize it's not everybody else that's wrong it's us. The article isn't talking about how these men didn't find anybody to listen to their problem. That's not first date material. That's stuff you turn to a friend for, and that could be a female friend in terms of men who can handle having female friends. It definitely won't be some girl he might have been having coffee with had she not had that darn support for planned parenthood on her okCupid profile.

The original article is ridiculous and I don't see the point of trying to twist it into something that has merit.
