“Everything is gender” theory finds more confirmation
manhattan.institute/article/the-...
Manhattan Institute The Current GOP overwhelmingly—69% to 24%— believes that American society is "too feminine" and that more masculine thinking is needed. Men are the most likely to hold this view (78% to 17%), but women also agree by a substantial margin (58% to 31%). Support is especially high among black Republicans (77% to 19%) and Hispanic Republicans (75% to 21%). The data also provide evidence for a broader generational and educational backlash among younger conservatives, particularly men. Although college graduates in the general population are less likely to support Trump, college-educated Republicans are more likely than their non-college counterparts to endorse the view that society has become too feminine. Younger Republican men, who have experienced these dynamics most directly, express the strongest support: 83% of Current GOP men under 50 agree, and nearly half (46%) strongly agree.

A lot of the “eurosclerosis” discourse is based on comparing GDP in nominal US$ in Europe vs US

Yesterday, the US ambassador to the EU compared Europe’s GDP per capita to that of Mississippi

This makes little sense, because it ignores the higher cost of living in the US
