In the past, conservatives such as Katie Miller and Kid Rock have tried to blame the declining birth rate in the United States on women who they deem unattractive. But now, Katie is also blaming unattractive men. Recently, she took to social media to share a chart titled “Childless Rate by Political Ideology.” The chart claims that “extremely liberal men” are less likely to have children when compared to conservatives. The partisan divide when it comes to parenthood is a real thing. According to the Institute for Family Studies, when looking at the 2020s, only 22% of liberal men ages 25-35 have had a child (compared with 47% of conservative men).
And while there are likely many factors contributing to this gap, Katie boiled it down to one: “Liberal men aren’t attractive.”
