This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

    Maybe because they’ve been demonized since they were children?

        Well that’s how they feel. You can laugh about it, but that’s not really going to improve anything.

        They’ve been told since they were kids that there being less of them is the highest improvement society can make. Imagine if they open taught that to black kids that in public school.

            r/twoxchromosomes would alienate most young men from feminism. The entire sub is whining about men and the men in their lives.

            You can’t be that blind. At pretty much every women’s rights protest there is at least someone with a sign up that reads something like “All men are rapists”. Sure, the protest might not be about that. Sure, not everyone agrees with that kind of statements. But there’s not much opposition either, so that kind of sexist message appears all the time in the news. Furthermore, those spewing sexist bullshit call themselves “feminists”, so young men think that feminism is like that, and now they hate feminism too.

            EDIT: just as an example, right after writing this comment I saw this other one: https://lemmy.world/comment/13322514 it’s impossible to time it better.

              Maybe don’t base your world view on some random person’s protest sign.

                I think you completely missed the point.

                The problem is not that the sign exists, the problem is that people don’t see nothing wrong with it.

                If you were a Jew, how would you feel if you saw Nazi flags on a men’s rights protest? Would you feel safe knowing that men a Nazi is safe around men? (Which probably means many of those men are nazis/nazi sympathizers themselves.).

                That’s how men feel when they see sexist messages in feminist protests go uncontested.
