Despite the triggering headline, this is a pretty good article that talks about how younger men are falling for this horseshit

    Unfortunately, the situation is worse than that. Progressives need more than just better content. There is a ton of negative messaging about males coming from the left. Much of it well-deserved, of course, but if you take a young man and give him a choice between a group that treats him as the villain and another group that treats him as the hero… Which is he likely to gravitate towards?

    We need a third way, not just more of the same.

      I would disagree. There are sure some, but I would say most comes from misrepresentation through the right or mainstream media. I gave even two examples of creators targeting young male audience in quite different ways.

      Again I disagree that feminism treats man as the villain. On most fundamental level it’s critique of a system not individuals to beginn with. While at the same time I give you that there are feminist groups that are fundamentally misandrist, that is not the case for the movement as a whole and I would even argue not the case for the majority of people who see themselves as feminist.

        Okay. I never said it did. I was writing about progressive culture more broadly.

          Progressive culture as a whole treats man as the villain? (Just to make sure I got your point correct this time).
