Singles tell us how the political gender gap is impacting their dating lives: ‘I would not date anybody who votes Conservative’
Three years ago, Jessica Katzman was dating a Conservative voter. Now, she feels it would be more difficult to do so.
“Everything feels more divided now, even compared to a few years ago,” said the 26-year-old Toronto content creator. “It feels like everyone decided they are either ‘this’ or ‘that’ and are less inclined to acknowledge that nothing is black or white.”
That said, she can’t see herself dating a Conservative in today’s political climate. “For me, caring about other people is such an enormous feature of who I am and what I believe. I can’t date a man who doesn’t care about immigrants’ or women’s rights,” she said. “Empathy is a huge part of what I look for in a partner.”
I just could not date any woman as stupid as the ‘content creator”.
