    This is a problem that I really feel like gets no attention.

    With all the focus on women’s rights, young men feel neglected. And modern feminism does imply that men can’t really talk about issues because that comes from a place of privilege.

    This isn’t the only time it happened. Male victims of sexual harassment and assault were pretty much entirely shut out of #MeToo.

    So, young men feel marginalized and they will listen to whoever makes sense.

      modern feminism does imply that men can’t really talk about issues?

      not to be all “source?” but — source?

      This statement feels full of selection bias. Let’s assume Angela Davis literally said this, does that mean Judith Butler agrees?

      But I imagine it’s more that this was said by a semi-anonymous rage bait account on a social media platform.

      That’s not to say such things aren’t hurtful - they are - but in the same way FirstnameBunchOfNumbers on Twitter says stupid shit all the time - eg all unions are all always bad and are literally communism - that doesn’t speak for the entirety of tradespeoples.
