    Many young men who can’t find a partner are getting radicalized by the manosphere.

    Women are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

      like, it doesn’t work that way. there should be a social contract saying “people take care of each other, that’s how society works”.

      i get that you’re saying women shouldn’t despise men just for being men (and i could agree to that), but that doesn’t mean they have to accept any kind of bullshit. it’s good to stand against the right-wing sociopathy and reject relationships with these people. because ultimately, these people don’t take care of you either. right-wingers are often against basic human needs.

      I don’t get your logic. You’re saying he would be a nice person if he got some? In my experience all that does is justify all their toxic masculinity because it finally worked and now they have a partner.

      Just to clarify, are you blaming women for not having sex with these men?

      The solution involves good healthcare, education, social safety, and respect. Men with no jobs, no role models, entitlement (particularly to relationships and/or sex), no apparent future, and bad mental health support are a recipe for disaster.

      I should know as I used to tick a number of those boxes. I think, had I been younger when YouTube and stuff came around, I’d have fallen prey to far right conspiricies
