My point is that we are heading in the wrong direction, and we should do something about it before we get to that point if we did then historical trends tell us that we’re going to some dark times. I would’ve agreed with you if this issue was only affecting an insignificant number of men, but it’s not. The amount of young men who are in this position is big enough to the point where this is genuine societal issue that needs to be addressed.
No, it’s only getting more reported and the reasons shifted.
It used to be religious fundamentalism, political radicals, sects, etc. Now it’s the more straight forward form of radicalism, but the root is the same and the numbers didn’t change drastically over night.
That’s not true. There’s a lot of good indicitators that things weren’t like this before. For example, the marrying age was lower, male happiness was much higher, male suicide rates were lower, male drug abuse rates were lower, loneliness skyrocketed, mental health issues skyrocketed. You’re right that this didn’t happen overnight. These trends have been happening for the past few of decades, it’s just that it’s getting to a point where it’s hard to ignore because it affects so many people.
What do you propose to do about it? Should women just start having pity sex with these men because they might start a fascist revolution if we don’t? Women should just go back to being submissive housewives so men can be “happy” like they were in the 50s? Like what do you think people should do about it?
