What neither CNN nor the marketing professor it interviewed did is what DT does: blamed women or insisted that women must change their behavior.
Have you read this paper? Everyone ignored it.

It cites the research.

How do you explain that the number of female partners is more unequally distributed among heterosexual men than the number of male partners is among heterosexual women? Or did the author misrepresent the research? Or is the research flawed?

DT also fails to mention what Smerconish said at the start of his segment: in his last segment, he focused on young women in crisis. But that doesn’t fit his narrative.

1. How does ‘the left’ force someone/anyone to flock to alt-right MRA movement personalities?

2. Who is doing this flocking? You say, ‘young men’, correct?
1. Reminds me of Republican talking points. It's like saying that no one is forcing you to stay at your job.
Are you saying that the idea of ‘the left forcing people to flock to alt-right MRA movement personalities’ sounds like a Republican talking point, or my request for details is the Republican talking point?
2. It's just a quote. He clearly wasn't talking about all young men.
Of course not all young men. But it is men flocking to Tate, correct?

What narrative Sir? I'll acknowledge that young women have to deal with a lot of stuff and I admit young women are better people (as a whole) on average than young men. I'll acknowledge that young men are more likely to attack young women, than vice versa.

Is it a bad thing to say that young women shouldn't date rich and handsome charismatic assholes like Laundrie? Women have higher standards, but there's no evidence that women are avoiding the rich and handsome assholes.

The narrative you’ve been pushing forever: young men are in crisis because they aren’t getting enough sex and women are to blame and must change their behavior.

You didn’t even bother to read about young women in crisis, did you?

How significant is the difference in the Gini numbers in the statistic you are obsessed with?

no one except for misogynist incels from MGTOW and PUA type groups has ever defined brian laundrie as 'rich and handsome,' or 'charismatic.' You are once again gleaning your topics from a very negative, unhealthy place.

Anyways, who can explain the fact that the number of female partners is more unequally distributed among heterosexual men than the number of male partners is among heterosexual women?

Thomas, that you do not understand this is a puzzle. Are you just pretending to not understand?

Or why do you think ? Clue it is not Democratic party politics or Republicans. It is not wokism or anti wokism. It is not governmental policy unless you imagine the government should be controlling who marries whom. It shouldn't do that.

It is my understanding that women incline towards human connections that they find most desirable. Not the ones they do not find desirable.

I follow pick up artists, but I have plenty of disagreements with them.
Why did you quote from Vaush who is a well known degenerate and sex pest? Oh, wait:

The Gini coefficient is used by economists as a measure of the degree of inequality in the distribution of income and wealth. It ranges from 0 (perfectly equal distribution) to 1 (a single person gets it all).

The statistic that DT is fixated on — the one he demands that Randos on a message board explain — is expressed in the very same editorial he keeps citing for the statistic. How big is the difference DT is obsessed with? Well, the Gini coefficient for the distribution of female sexual partners among single men is .60. That for the distribution of male sexual partners is (drumroll, drumdude, if you would be so kind) is .58.

That’s it. A difference of.02 on a scale between 0 and 1. That’s what DT is obsessed with and what he keeps demanding that all of us explain.

If you do 15 or 20 minutes worth of reading, you will see that young men and women are facing serious mental health issues. (The Washington Post did in-depth articles on both.) Part of that equation is that there have been pretty alarming increases in the percentages of high school girls who have the victims of violence, including sexual violence. Suicidal ideation among high school girls has skyrocketed.

The causation of these problems, like most problems involving human behavior will undoubtedly be complex and multi-causal. They certainly cannot be boiled down to simplistic claims like “women are too picky” or “radical feminists something something something.”

The specific issue of loneliness among young men is clearly not just about female sexual partners. It’s also about loss of male friendships. To obsess over the female sex partner piece of the problem is to certainly overlook more fundamental causes such as economics and use of social media — both of which were cited as causes in the CNN interview.
