I mean, considering how many incels voted for trump, I think we're pretty much already there. Many of the young men who voted red this election already have no close relationships with any women their age. Obviously women should exercise their autonomy as they see fit. I don't expect it to change how anyone votes.
I'll probably be downvoted for this, but progressives have spent the last several years actively shutting down lines of communication with men, particularly white men. For the best of reasons, sure, but it hasn't been an effective strategy for winning elections.
Maybe this would sway some group of center-left men who didn't bother voting, but realistically I expect it will have no effect on the ongoing polarization, or exagerrate it.
