The debate over allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh has ignited “anger and anxiety” among conservative white men and stoked their fears of losing power, The Washington Post reported.

“The sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh have sparked a wave of unbridled anger and anxiety from many Republican men, who say they are in danger of being swept up by false accusers who are biased against them,” the Monday article reads.

Kavanaugh’s past is currently under review by FBI investigators for the seventh time. The Senate aims to hold a final confirmation vote on his nomination sometime this week. (RELATED: Fairfield University Instructor On Race Relations: ‘Devote Some Time To The Problem That Is Whiteness‘)

The article’s authors, Robert Costa and Phillip Rucker, lamented the GOP’s leadership being “almost entirely white and overwhelmingly male” and claimed the party doesn’t “make a secret of its fear that demographic shifts and cultural convulsions could jeopardize its grip on power.”

The story also highlighted the vital role male voters will play in the November midterm elections, as a seat on the Supreme Court hangs in the balance.

“The rallying cry was Kavanaugh’s enraged plea of innocence before the Senate Judiciary Committee,” the article continues. “Kavanaugh’s defenders, reflecting widespread feelings among conservatives nationally, are furious about what they see as a broad-brush approach to sexual misconduct allegations.”

WaPo cited media personalities Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro for coming to the defense of men and for highlighting the country’s movement towards radical feminism.

“Inside the conservative movement and on its fringes, an intense discussion has long been underway about gender and the perceived assault on men,” the story reads. “Beyond Shapiro, University of Toronto clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson has drawn thousands of young conservative men to his lectures across the United States, railing against the effects of feminism and urging men to speak up for themselves.”

“Some conservative women also have joined the chorus of outrage over what they see as the encroachment of liberal feminism into American life,” the authors concluded.

WaPo is not the only media outlet to comment on the trials of white men in America this week.

CNN’s chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin mocked the “poor plight of white men,” on “New Day” Tuesday, after Donald Trump Jr. said he was afraid for his sons — after seeing how easily their lives can be destroyed.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
