I just read an article in Politico(?) about how political violence escalated during the 1850s when abolitionists had finally had enough of pro-slavery folks and began fighting back against them. It was, essentially, drawing parallels to today and equating the pro-slavery minority to the current conservative minority in tactics used and the response that we're likely to see moving forward based off of the response that happened back then.

All problems exacerbated by the fact that toxic masculinity has told boys and young men that showing your feelings is a "woman's trait".

Also, everybody has financial pressures and hardships, women included. In 2018, women (12.9%) lived in higher rates of poverty compared to men (10.6%).
