These numbers are so sad. Based on the numbers their fathers probably supported it. I wonder if this a repercussions of more progressive men not breeding as much and raising sons not to be douches.

I think it’s more just abandoning a generation of young men to be raised by the Internet while nobody’s watching and not giving a shit when there are concerted efforts to tell boys they’re worthless and ugly and will never get girlfriends to sell them scam products and harmful ideologies that supposedly offer a way out. Instead, these boys were yelled at and told how worthless and ugly they are for thinking these things, and how they’ll never get girlfriends, just feeding into all of the right wing lies. The far right has spent most of the past two decades trying to create this false problem for young men so they could sell a solution to it, and nobody was paying attention. I remember seeing the beginnings of this shit in the early 2010s and being disturbed at the harmful things being aimed at me as a teen boy and it’s just way worse now as kids are online and overstimulated 24/7.
