The right is so blatantly obvious with the "there's a war on manhood" memes.

Apparently racists, homophobes, xenophobes, religious zealots and the chronically afraid just don't make up a large enough demographic to out-vote all the sane people.

ALL of those groups are driven by the need for dominance, and all of them regard men as the epitome of dominance. In short, they see their philosophy as a defense of their own manhood. So this "war on manhood" is just the same thing as everything else. It's just more out in the open about it.
