CompactFlaxSome part of this is the male influencers, and some part of this is kids being ignorant. But being a straight woman in that age group must really suck.
I’m starting to think that being a straight woman just sucks at any point in time, because young men are not the smartest ones on the block. Today’s young women, though, realize that there’s an off ramp.
Even 100 years ago there was social pressure on young men to learn how to behave properly. Being kicked out of the local church meant that you couldn’t hang with your friends and would probably have to leave town.
Today, you can spend 20 hours a day online, hearing exactly what you want to hear.
Ah yes, the kids these days are missing out on the church-provided misogyny, that’s the issue.
CharlesDarwinI think there is a real male loneliness epidemic and a crisis of identity among younger males, it seems.
Few people/institutions seem to be offering men an off-ramp from this confusion and stress…except for this toxic brosphere stuff, sadly. It really explains a lot about things like the Proud Boys.
Like you - I would not suggest a church as the solution. I really don’t know what the answer is for healthy outlets and support structures for men truly is, though. People yelling “men suck” at them is likely to only push them deeper into the worst behaviors.
Historically, this kind of discontent has never ended well.
