    But we’re not in the correct-information-only age. There’s a lot of noise to filter out, and most people aren’t trained well enough to do that (i.e. critical thinking). I think that we may need to address that issue before things improve significantly at the political level.

      I think my point is it’s not ‘most people’ being untrained, because apparently women are not falling for the same thing. So we clearly already have the tools, just men (by and large) aren’t using them.
