About

My Prediction Of The Left / Right Gender Divide, continued, IF young men hold the course, refers to viral debates and parodies inspired by a post originally made by X / Twitter user @samuel_costner in which he shows two diverging lines representing men and women through the years 2025 to the 2030s. In 2027, the pink line representing women is labeled, "…um. This is lonely." The year 2028 shows the pink line pivoting back toward men with the label, "They've gotten so strong and mature. Kinda hot," while men are shown saying, "I would literally kill for you to have babies and make pies." The lines are then showing converging to the "right" in the 2030s. The diagram and catchphrase prompted several memes and jokes in early September 2025, with internet users mocking the poster for his simplistic view of female motivations and gendered politics. Some internet users shared Losslike memes mimicking the line art, while others shared ironic parodies featuring characters like Peter Griffin.
