Maybe the women in the Alt-Right don't like mosquitos?
Looking at photos from the recent Charlottesville rally there doesn't seem to be many women actively engaged in protesting while holding citronella torches.
Maybe they knew that there was a likelihood of violence so they sent their men to do a man's job.
I really do understand.
After decades of Civil Rights and Title IX advances just being an average white guy in America is not enough to guarantee your success.
You yearn for a simpler time.
A time reminiscent of Happy Days, Mad Men, or The Donna Reed Show.
A time before Obama, the Williams Sisters and Hip-Hop.
A time when just being white almost guaranteed that you were right.
Your ideal is Barbie and Ken.
Good looking, fit, active - white society at its best.
But even Barbie and Ken have evolved.
Tubby Ken, Black Ken, Hipster Ken,...
These days, even Barbie has a multi-ethnic circle of friends.
And as every boy who has a sister knows,
Barbie has always preferred the alpha male Joe anyway.
So now it's time for the white male to assert his manhood.
(Even if it means working with gay authors, activists and provocateurs.)
It's time for the white male to reclaim his societal losses and to prove that he is more manly than Ken - that he is the Alpha-Joe.
Sure, that's fine.
I'm not sure I like the look of Antifa anyway.
The Alt-Left (BAMN, Antifa, Black Lives Matter,.....) hipsters seem to be spoiling for a fight as well.
The thing that's odd about the left though is the over-representation of womyn.
It seems as though the womyn on the left are the impetus.
It seems that the womyn are the leaders.
(Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with that.)
This whole Alt-Left v. Alt-Right battle is looking more and more like a bunch of gay men fighting against lesbians.
(How the Alt-Right views itself on social media.)
Either that or a bunch of of no-game Kens trying to dress up and pretend that they're Joes.
Honestly, I'm happy Trump won.
The racial truce agreed upon by many under Obama seems to be null and void so it makes it easier to see who represents the 35%.
Even at his peak Obama had only about a 63% approval rating.
What about that other 37%?
Well, those are the same 37% who still view Trump favorably - those who will never be swayed nor convinced otherwise.

underground unresolved resentment is never good so I get that silver lining aspect of Trump's win. But the more those folks fine tune their argument, they do win new adherents. That is trouble. Even if they don't grow in numbers, the election has surely shown growth in power. Power is worse than numbers (Jeff Sessions is only one guy)
