Angry white male

One of the major American political movements of 1992 was women's rights. A reactionary backlash described by The Atlantic as the "Revolt of the Angry White Male" arose against the women's movement. The revolt of the angry white male quickly brought up questions and concerns that have long since haunted American politics. In Pease's view, the resultant right wing populist political movement of Angry White Males is often summarized as having experiential periods of loss both psychologically and sociologically surrounding their sense of perceived losses of the traditions of men and their perceived "emasculation". Pease suggests that the populist polemics of Angry White Males' claim to make men great again by opposing equal rights and restoring hegemony to its masculinist right. == United States ==

The term commonly refers to a political voting bloc that emerged in the early 1990s as a reaction to perceived injustices faced by white men in the face of affirmative action quotas in the workplace, much like how the Reagan Democrat bloc emerged a decade earlier. Angry white men are characterized as having animosity toward young people, people of color, women or other minorities, and liberalism in general. Donald Trump's male supporters have been described by some political commentators as angry white men. Speaking in 2008, then-senator and future president-elect Barack Obama spoke of the small town residents left behind by successive administrations, saying that he felt it was "not surprising when they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations". In 2015, he referenced male blue-collar workers having what he saw as a "justified, but just misdirected" sense of fear, frustration and anger, and believed that Donald Trump's 2016 candidacy for presidency was taking advantage of that sentiment. ==Australia ==
