I’m obsessed with the stark differences in how young men and women currently view the world. This youth partisan gender gap influences everything from how we work, learn, and maybe most intriguingly, date and decide whether to have kids. And while the 2024 election is over, the politics of dating are heating up…Thanks for reading The Up and Up! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

There are moments during an interview when you know you have just heard something important. This happened during a recent interview with a student at the University of Texas. My colleague, Kelsey, asked Brad* how he was feeling about the 2024 election results:“Among my peer group, there's a saying, and the saying is, we're so back...

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I’ll share more reflections on the year in a subsequent newsletter, but it’s been a great year for which I’m very grateful. I appreciate the thoughtful comments, critiques, and questions. Thanks for reading and for your support!Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election decisively. He improved among most voting groups. But there is one group of voters who still roundly rejected him—single young women—even as their male peers moved decidedly in his direction.

Roughly 10 months ago I wrote a piece titled: “Will Young Men Vote For Trump?” in which I speculated whether young voters would undergo a political decoupling in 2024. Now post-election polls confirm that is precisely what happened. Fifty-six percent of young men voted for Trump in the 2024 election according to the Associated Press’ VoteCast poll. Only 40 percent of young women voted for Trump, a 16-point gender gap.

Watching the clips from Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, what struck me more than anything else is how utterly unrecognizable the Republican Party has become under Trump. A party that once stressed the importance of honesty and integrity is gone. The rally speakers engaged in unrestrained vitriol and bigotry. It’s not all happening on stage either. The Washington Post interviewed Craig Dumas, a T-shirt vendor at one of Trump’s campaign events. His best seller?

A few weeks ago, I went to Philadelphia, PA to conduct a series of focus groups with young men and women. We discussed a variety of subjects including dating, relationships, infidelity, pornography and the 2024 U.S. election. As part of this research, we teamed up with The Washington Post to give participants the opportunity to share their feelings about the conversation.

To ask seventy young adults what they think about pornography is to receive seventy-one different opinions. We saw this first-hand when talking to groups of young women and men in Philadelphia. The discussion was earnest, eye-opening, and unsettling. It is clear that the problems that pornography present have become so much more complicated, and even more difficult to address. A generation that was raised on social media has a unique experience when it comes to internet pornography.

Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris was hardly unexpected. After all, Swift endorsed Biden over Trump just four years earlier. Yet, her latest announcement set off a cascade of commentary. It didn’t take long for Donald Trump to express his displeasure in a Truth Social post declaring: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” As often happens, Trump made things worse for himself with intemperate comments. The post ensured another round of news coverage of Swift’s endorsement.
