re: Boy Crisis of 2025, Meet the ‘Boy Problem’ of the 1900s

Google "men are useless" and see

When men seek out negative websites or articles about men, they are able to find what they are seeking. And that equates to people constanty telling men they are predators, worthless, etc?

So niche websites that you seek out tell you these things?

I dont deny that but how was feminism about destroying boys?

They actually were ones that said things similar to things you've said.

So less about the website, more about how the message is wide enough to go to both you and these niche websites.

It wouldn't make much of a point to call out something I haven't seen claimed here as well.

Do you disagree? This seems to be a very tame article.

Therefore, when women make statements like “men do X,” “I hate men,” “men are trash” or “men suck,” they are not critiquing the male gender as a whole, but rather the privileged position that the gender occupies and the harm that it causes women. It is a criticism of oppression, which is pervasive in almost every facet of our lives. When women make these statements, they do not literally mean every single member of the privileged gender. Yet, these statements are frequently met with backlash accusing them of discrimination and double standards. Every expression of our oppressed position is responded with the age-old “Not All Men,” as if that argument suddenly makes the patriarchy disappear.

Let’s now look at the usual situation in which this argument plays out. A woman, based on her experiences with misogyny — whether in the form of sexual violence or everyday sexism — will express her grievances by generalizing the privileged gender. A person – usually a man – will then complain about her generalization and claim that not all men behave in the same way.

Why do women generalize when making such statements? For starters, women have been taught since birth to fear men. We grow up being told, explicitly or implicitly, that men will harm us. Women move through life with a set of rules to protect ourselves from men, as though the burden of protecting our safety is on us: Do not leave your drink out. Don’t walk home alone. Don’t walk at night. Carry keys in between your fingers. Learn boxing.

That's because you're sensationally stupid and everything you believe on every topic is moronic.

You're the worst of humanity.

People post near daily about how women have ruined everything and shouldn’t be able to vote.

Yes, the Andrew Tate and company views have gone "viral"
Now, there is a branch of critical theory that would claim that "crime" is an outlet of lack of power.

Would this not be a symptom of people who as this article suggests feel they have no legitimate outlet to their frustrations?

quote:

I know that’s a fringe belief that the vast majority of people either don’t agree with or at least know better than to say anything like that out loud.

Not so fringe in human history or the Middle East.

quote:

But you (or others who post here) see a tweet or article disparaging men and you immediately believe that it’s a widespread belief held by most of society. I wonder why that is.

---

It's because like the article I see a society so obsessed with microaggressions against everyone but males.
Society flipped so hard because some dead white men got away with things (that were normal and accepted for millennia), But the alternative is to push down other white men.

No one likes being told get to the back of the bus because someone who isn't you but looks like you got to sit at the front 70 years ago.

If you don't understand that then you won't understand it when Vance wins two terms.
You will rant that he's a loser and that only fools could follow him.

But you can't ask people to take a step back, even if you think it's the right thing for them to do.

I was anti-19th amendment long before it was cool. I’ve heard of Andrew Tate but doesn’t really have much of a clue about him or what he says. If anything he’s late to the party.

Lol, not denying it, but it's become far more popular as men miss out on jobs, scholarships, and general respect.

The left has said you submit or else.

And many men have said fck that.

Tame in that it blames men, as a whole, for misunderstanding women's critiques, but doesn't self-reflect on mistakes made by women who do the critiquing.

The article is also very tame since it only acknowledges that men can be sexist. It also says we still live in a patriarchy, yet we all know that is not even close to being true and the matriarchy we are becoming is the cause for the OP.
