Yes.
I mean, she's the typical, she looks just like you would expect her to look.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Well, the next story, which is along the same theme, I think, is it's entitled Why Young Women Moved Left While Young Men Stayed Sane.
And what kicked this off was Bill Ackman quote tweeted a graph that shows the partisan gap between young men and women has almost doubled over the last 25 years.
And so it's like a 23 point gap between them.
Looks like women are something like plus 20 liberal and men are like plus five or so conservative.
But it used to be a much smaller gap.
It was always a gap to some extent, but it's been a lot narrower over the years.
But over the last 25 years, it's expanded considerably.
And so the article goes on to try and explain some of this.
He points out a post, this is by an ex-user named Juanye, it's the handle xwanyex, so xwanyex.
He says, it's pretty clear to me that what we've been told about radicalization for the last 10 years is exactly the opposite of what's happened in reality.
We've been told that men are increasingly radicalized to the right and that this is a bad thing.
What actually happened is that women have increasingly radicalized to the left.
It doesn't really get talked about much, but to the extent it does, it will in every single case be framed as a good thing.
And then the article goes on to say this isn't just America.
There's a similar graph for South Korea and for Germany and the UK, and they're all showing the same thing.
So it's not just American politics that's doing this.
