Why Are Young White Women So Progressive?

Marfa Potter was an ordinary girl who had led an ordinary, unremarkable, but stable and reasonably happy life.  Her father was a Vice President at a local New Brighton bank and was known for his charm and accommodating nature. While he was no less financially disciplined than his fellow bankers, his winning ways brought in a steady stream of customers. The fact that most of them were women was a tribute to his innate kindness and consideration. 

Alex Potter's charm was not wasted on the widows who hesitatingly came in for a home improvement or car loan and left delighted with him and the credit.  He had a  way with women - all women - and had an uncanny sensibility to their particular needs.  He was a patient listener, and a practiced admirer who let his lovers know that they were the most beautiful, intelligent, creative and resourceful women ever.  Here was a man who - unlike their husbands - paid attention, did not drift off, and who took them seriously. 

 

As most experienced men know, it doesn't take much to seduce a woman, for all are susceptible in one way or another to male charm, attention, and a silver tongue.  How did most men not understand this basic, fundamental point?  Why did they go about everything in exactly the wrong way, bullying their way to the front of the line, primming themselves like a peacock, and exposing all the stereotypical male traits?

This feeling of being taken seriously, for being recognized as a person of value, equal to all, a prime and principal example of the best traits that God handed out at Creation, made them particularly vulnerable to the blandishments of men like Alex Potter. 

It was this neediness and its associated credulousness that led to their overwhelmingly passionate belief in progressivism.  Progressives not only took themselves and all women seriously, but all those who at one time or another had felt ignored, refused, or oppressed.  The well-known caricature of young women loving babies, little animals, and defenseless things, so hated by feminists who insisted that such characterization condemned women to a perpetual life of  Kinder, Kuche, Kirche, was like all caricatures at least partially true.  Childbearing and childrearing gave women greater sensitivity to others than the bearish males who impregnated them; but at the same time made them dependent on them.  

 

Of course things have changed since the Paleolithic, and women can quite capably stand on their own, but a few million years is not enough for women's genetic structure to have evolved. So women still carry the same natural proclivities predominant in prehistoric times. 

American political progressives, for all their insistence about compassion, inclusivity, and social generosity, understand this well.  Young women - especially young white women - have always been in their sights.  They are the ones who are most eager to hear messages of female empowerment, the ugliness of male patriarchy, and the infectious greed of capitalist America.  

Why white and not black women?  The answer is obvious.  No sister on the street has ever put up with such progressive horseshit.  A woman from the 'hood is proud of being a tough bitch, an intimidator, an insatiable sexual predator.  'I don't need no pansy-assed, lily white cunt comin' up in here and telling me what to do, honey', said LaShonda Trout sitting on the stoop of D Block of the Frederick Douglass Homes.  

Right she was.  Black women were what progressives thought they wanted, but were worthless as a vulnerable constituency.  It was these needy white women, brought up in an environment of modest middle class values and therefore incensed that they were being broken so summarily, who were their targets. The combination of credulousness, the age-old desire to be taken seriously, a far left education, and a need to be given some direction was the perfect progressive storm. 

Young white women voted overwhelmingly and disproportionately for 'Democratic Socialist' Zorhan Mamdani as Mayor of New York.  Black women and men weren't even close.  Progressive operatives clapped each other on the back after the demographics were made known.  They knew it all the time. 

The demographics of the recent No Kings rallies were exactly the same.  In overwhelming numbers, young white women, joined by their mothers in a jamboree of happy hopefulness, filled the streets to protest the pretender to the throne, Donald Trump. 

And so it was that Marfa and Abigail Potter turned out with their sisters on New Brighton's No Kings Day.  Abigail made tea sandwiches for everyone, ordered and distributed catchy No Kings tee shirts, and hugged and embraced everyone who joined the crowd from every quarter of the city.  There was not a black face in the crowd even thought New Brighton like other New England towns now had their share, and although the Potter women tried their level best to assure at least some diversity, they were unsuccessful. 

First of all Abigail didn't know any black people, and Marfa's private school, despite affirmative action, was all white; but the real reason that no white person ever set foot in Lincoln Heights, the sprawling black neighborhood across the tracks. 

No matter, said Abigail who was secretly happy that his was a her crowd only.  Black women would have simply been an irritant - you had to pay attention to them although you really wished you didn't have to - and the solidarity of the movement remained intact. 

Now Marfa was going out with Trowbridge ('Trow') Evans, scion of the Boston Evans family, direct descendants of John Davenport, original member of the Massachusetts Bay colony and founder of New Haven.  The Evans were rock-ribbed conservatives brought up on old English and colonial American values, fierce patriots and ardent supporters of the current President.  The young Trow was a chip off the old block, and laughed at Marfa's intention to protest at the No Kings rally. 

However, he, like Marfa's father, understood women well, and knew that such infantile longings would not hurt his relationship with the girl - on the contrary, his complaisant permission for her to do so endeared her all the more to him.  Sexual pleasure and control of the relationship was what mattered to Trow. 

White women have always been the bastion of the Democratic party, but this significant uptick in support has taken Republican pollsters and political observers a bit by surprise.  They knew that white women had always bought into the compassion thing, but not in such numbers; and conservative operatives went back to the drawing board to figure out some counter-strategy if indeed there were any which could seduce women away from the febrile nonsense of their political opponents. 

Savvy men went to No Kings rallies because there were hundreds of young white women there, and Trow was one, despite his fidelity to Marfa, trolled them with great success.

'What the fuck?', said Pharoah Jones, self-appointed King of Anacostia, a black man who had no trouble whatsoever with absolute power and reigned supreme in the inner city.  'What these white bitches doin'?'; but he understood quite well the paradigm, took a big hit on his spliff, passed it on to his Jamaican crew, and drove off in his cream-and-gold Cadillac Escalade.
