Kamala Harris’ campaign) appears to have only one strategy to earn female votes, according to author and conservative social media influencer Isabel Brown. 

“To the elected left today, I think women equal votes for abortion),” Brown says, adding, they see you as "a dollar sign associated with the abortion industry.” 

While Democrats' strategy to win female voters this election cycle) is laser focused on abortion, the political left is working hard to appeal to men after spending the better part of two decades demonizing masculinity. 

In an effort to brush claims of “toxic masculinity” under the rug, Harris and her running mate Tim Walz have discussed their ownership of guns) and released a campaign ad with men bragging about eating “carburetors for breakfast” and cooking “steak rare.” 

The Harris campaign’s effort to appeal to male voters is likely driven, at least in part, by data showing that Gen Z) male voters are increasingly leaning politically right. 

“Gen Z men, namely 17-year-olds, seniors in high school right now, are politically the most conservative they've been in America in 50 years,” according to Brown. 

According to an Axios report )on a recent Harvard Youth Poll, 26% of men ages 18-24 identify as conservative, which is five points higher than men ages 25 to 29.

While Gen Z women skew heavily to the left, even outlets like The New York Times) are acknowledging that some young men “feel that rapidly changing gender roles have left them behind socially and economically” and “see former President Donald J. Trump as a champion of traditional manhood.”

With less than two weeks until the 2024 presidential election), the battle for the Gen Z vote is likely already settled. 

Brown joins "Problematic Women)" to discuss the role the abortion issue is playing in this election, and how Democrats have isolated young male voters. 

Also on today’s show, we dig into concerns over the damaging effects of various forms of birth control, and Brown shares her own story of how “the pill” changed her life for years.
