I mean, ya gotta be careful. Are they conservative because they are lonely, or are they lonely because they are conservative

I suspect that women aren't dating conservative men, not because they want to punish them, but because they would personally rather not date a horrible person.

It's a pretty bad spiral. Lonely men develop more extremist views, which makes them less attractive to women, which makes them lonelier, and they get even more extremist views, etc.

Like, if you lined all of the single men up who vote against women's rights, and asked an equal number of women to sacrifice their own happiness to date them, a certain number of those horrible men would turn a corner and start to act like a human. But who is going to give up their own happiness to fix some broken asshole stranger? Very few people.

Considering how many women remain in an abusive relationship, I'm not sure that conservative men have less chances.

incels are probably looking in the wrong places for them, there is something for everyone. just not something that can be attainable for you, but attainable for someone else.

Of course. There are for sure women so stupid to go with a misogynist virgin prick.

After all, we live in a world where some Americans voted for Trump and got their families raided by ICE a few months later.

Its called Internalised Misogyny

Women who experience internalized misogyny may express it through minimizing the value of women, mistrusting women, and showing gender bias in favor of men. Women, after observing societal beliefs which demean the value and skills of women repeatedly, eventually internalize those misogynistic beliefs and apply them to themselves and other women.
