“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”

    It’s not. At all. This is the sequence of events of a LAMF:

    1. Advocacy for a politician/political entity to do X, by person/group Y
    2. Y’s advocacy is based on the expectation that X will be done to/only affect others, incorrectly assumed, because the politician/entity never specified such (it’s not called the ‘leopards eating [demographic’s] faces party’, after all)
    3. X indeed affects Y as well
    4. Y is surprised that 3 is true, though they shouldn’t be, as they’re the ones who made the assumption in 2, without any good reason to (this unjustified reaction is the LAMF moment)

    For example, if Y voted to cut funding for public services, then got upset that a public service they use on got its funding cut, that’s a textbook LAMF.

    “MAGA singles are having trouble finding romantic partners” meets literally none of the above criteria. There isn’t even an X (re #1)!
