I don't disagree, but I think that what they've changed to is the result of what is happening here. Do No Harm is actually a good example of what I'm talking about.
That harm prioritization is much stronger in women than it is in men (on average), especially when men are prepared to self-harm in order to gain status as a result of thier focus on agency.
The Left focuses on harm reduction, sometimes exclusively to women, as the single most important aspect of all human life. Now, this doesn't mean that they actually do reduce harm; but the story they spin is almost entirely built around X is harm, thus X must be eliminated.
Good, strong, men can't appeal to harm reduction without a loss of status by being out-competed. So while men drift more rightward, women drift more leftward. I think this is why were seeing such extreme gender differences in politics. Particularly one study that said 45% of black men in 2019 said Trump was doing a good job, while only 2% of black women said that he was doing a good job. In black communities, they are dealing with a horrific spate of cultural Leftism, dependencies, and the collapse of marriage and family units. Men can't be independent of the state, get good paying jobs, and have upward socio-economic mobility that increases their status. Meanwhile black women are looking at them as nothing more than a hot commodity to pamper them.
The political right is giving men agency (thus giving them women protection through men), while the political left is giving women protection through the state.
I'm the one who posted this thread, I think women are screwing themselves by denying men the honor they deserve, and then turning to government to bail themselves out of their own muck.
I just wanted to highlight how someone who has remained steadfast to core beliefs was shifted from the left to the right just by changing political definitions. I didn't change much, the goalposts moved.
