  they both exist. but the male one makes people angry so it gets more engagement. it’s also framed as ‘men are losers who need to do better in life’

  the female one is often framed as ‘women are too successful for men’.

    I felt all bitter like you did but I met a girl recently who completely stole my heart, they do exist for sure

    Very good point about common spaces

    Also there are no safe spaces for men outside of wilderness and AA meetings hahaha

      Am I bitter that we are entering a recession? Or is it just a fact of the world?

  I think what’s happening is:

  40% of men are good people

  40% of women are good people

  The remaining 20% are pieces of shit that demonize and demean the other sex, which has caused the 80% to become scared and reclusive.

  Social media makes it seem like the percentages are flipped but they are not!

  The numbers are made up but you get my point.

  Modern online incel and radfem movements were created to pit them against each other and prevent them from uniting and creating positive social change.

    Created by whom? I’m actually curious.

      I can’t prove anything, but:

      • There’s evidence that billionaires are taking much more than they earn, and that we (everyone else) would be dramatically better off without them (whether we tax them away or… Come to some other compromise.)
      • Billionaires own most media outlets and social media sites, even those these don’t actually make much money compared to everything else the billionaires own. This makes some people ask why they bother…
      • There’s a noticable tendency in billionaire owned media to focus daily on divisive topics. The specific topic changes, but the divisiveness continues.
      • There is history of powerful authoritarians investing heavily in divisive propaganda, primarily to break apart and distract groups of people who could overthrow them.

      What I have laid out is not proof that today’s billionaires are directing their staff to verbally attack minorites at any opportunity.

      But it certainly is something to think about next time a vicious rumor about a minority group comes along.

        Woah, I thought you were talking about a conspiracy of wealthy people that are pitting the sexes against each other. That is interesting and I want to study this some more.

        Somehow you ended on wealthy people hating on minorities. Let me make this clear. This happens all the fucking time. Even our POTUS is guilty of this multiple times with instances like the Central Park Five.

        I mean the whole anti-woke movement is just a bunch of rich racist asshole pushing a toxic message.
