i cannot handle republicans

posting this to reddit because i need to let out some of my thoughts. I geniunely have no idea how to navigate through a world where there are so many conservatives who are so unaware of the reality of the world right now. I have so many strong views of the world that it is ruining my life and causing me to be depressed and overwhelmed. For example, today my english teacher made our class sit and watch this debate class that was happening in the library. The topic was “do you think women face more social pressure and oppression than men? ironically the table that was standing up for women was 3 men, and the table taking the men’s side were 3 women. After one of the men gave a speech about how women are socially pressured to look a certain way, one of the women came up and started going off about how men suffer more than women in this society. her reasoning was that men have worse mental health, and then she began talking about how it was “unfair on men that they should have to protect us”. she said that society expects men to be strong and protect us and that it isn’t fair to them. i was so overwhelmed with emotion i had to get up and leave. i’m not even going to explain why this is wrong but i don’t even how to process how so many women could take this position and i feel so helpless. The only reason society expects this of men is because men are the ones to CAUSE DANGER?
