Hilarious. The Republicans are watching progressive shit promoting liberalism, equality and ethics? A communist utopia?

MODERATORS
How do I find the link to the text?
Edit: apparently posting an image is ok by mods but linking isn't, weird.
If anyone is curious since the comments on the message didn't really make sense (headline is about republicans not women, where did the no women in your life comment come from?):
The author is asserting women don't like star trek with zero data. The republicans part is unrelated, and is about young men skewing more conservative than women. You combine the baseless claim with unrelated data and you get the headline.

Slash fic as it originated in modern fan culture was Kirk/Spock and spread through zines written by women in the 60s.
Also I've been watching TNG for the first time lately (late to trek) and I honestly don't understand how conservatives could really enjoy the best episodes. Like I watched The Drumhead (s4e21) last night and it was aggressively unsubtlely anti conservative. Like honestly I regret not keeping notes from the start of this watch through to have good episodes to recommend to people. First Contact (s4e14) had the villain literally be a conservative trying to preserve his society's way of life against the progress it would have to deal with if it encountered aliens.
What an incredibly stupid take by these jeenyuses.
Then again there's precedence with a moron from Fox 'News' who prefers Trek to Wars since it's 'not woke'.
USA Defaultism at work yet again.
In fairness, it is an American show.
Its somewhat justifiable, kinda.
Pretty sure the fujoshis own Trek actually.
