A growing network of online communities known collectively as the “manosphere” is emerging as a serious threat to gender equality, as toxic digital spaces increasingly influence real-world attitudes, behaviours, and policies, the UN agency dedicated to ending gender discrimination has warned.

      And internet is telling women it’s men fault. And poor people it’s immigrants fault. And insecure people it’s trans fault.

      We are the most narcissistic generation ever: it’s always someone else fault… and while we are arguing online changes go in the wrong direction (more inequality, more war, less affordable education that means less social mobility)

        well they have a point. it’s not all men who do messed up shit, but if messed up shit happens, it is usually because of men.

          Not all women are becons of morality.

          While statistically women are more likely to have empathy and emotional understanding and more communication thus, we are not perfect by any sense.

          Your underlying rhetoric here is deeply divisive. I agree men are more prone to violent action, whether in a leadership role or just as a person. It’s why more women attempt suicide but more men are successful.

          We cant just throw men away. We start with the culture, we start with teaching boys emotional intelligence, language, and how to reach for support. Then, we don’t reject them for reaching for such support.

          It should be considered masculine to show vulnerability, it is one of the hardest things to get used to, if you’ve not been allowed/able to for so long. However, vulnerability leads to personal growth. Real vulnerability, followed by acceptance from peers, will give personal growth, understanding, and acceptance.

          Fathers, hug your sons and tell them you love them. Teach our sons better. Cultural change is slow, you jumping on to say it’s always mens fault is a shallow and lazy thought. You’ve put so little thought into the “whys”.

          The men/women culture war has been amplified enough now, we need to come together and find how we can support eachother.

          I’ve been a victim of multiple men. Like, it’s truly stupid, where somedays I hate myself solely for letting myself in these situations. But I don’t harbor hate for men. I feel bad for the ones who are lost, because I too have been lost.

          I want us to focus more on solutions than just, bitching

              I mean it’s just as nonsensical as claiming that most bullshit is done by men, women are just as capable.

              So what do you mean, what do you even mean?

                no, it is factual? the vast majority of violent crimes are committed by men.
