But I think that's less actually about Gender than some (usually cis) people being weird about gender.
Like, it's sorta meta in weird ways that feel difficult to describe in a manner that is both earnest and accurate.
It's odd how few politicians seem to have actually made the gap between 2015 and 2017.
And I think Biden's win elided over the sea-change that happened there.
People who are dicks about gender are usually just dicks.
I currently have long (for masc folks) hair and get mild amusement out of the fact that my hair is longer than the majority of women at church.
Gender is weird, but we need not be weird about gender.
If the last 16 months have shown us anything, it is that that popular vote matters a heck of a lot more than people thought it did.

Which is missing the point of the statements. They're not expressing actual general election statements (at least not sincerely or in aggregate) they're expressing a deep-seated antipathy for a candidate in advance of primaries.
I do not think the guy who hung out with Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk (and defended the latter's "legacy") is going to be notably popular amongst Democratic partisans.
Particularly after 2 years out of office
This is also a problem with stand-up comedians and other "new media" generally.

Having the same class interest as a realtor and hating Democrats is a less interesting combination than many think!
Still is.
It's just the blades are for turbines now, not swords.

Also, private universities (like that that infest New England) are even more of a cluster fuck.
Much more opaque in governance with major donors wielding even greater power.

There are also often faculty senates, but they hold little to no actual power over governance matters.
Boards are political appointees (usually wealthy and ideological campaign donors).

Hadn't heard, and the actors are suitably weird to make the mess interesting.
University boards are rarely (if ever) representative of the communities they govern.
Heck, most don't even bother giving the faculty and student representatives (one for each, generally) voting rights.
