Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.

It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don’t want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.

    I think it does, especially when it’s by people who like to pretend they do it for some kind of equality. Have been thinking about quitting social media for a while, I generally don’t like the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) hatred towards men.

    On one hand it makes you feel sorry for the women of the past who went through this for much longer than we have (and in many more parts of life than I did), on the other hand fuck the misandrists, I never discriminated against women, not sure why I should be called out for what rich and powerful did.

    And there’s one last thing that kinda scares me, the young teen men look so depressed nowadays, I honestly wouldn’t want to be a teen these days. I think my teens were at the best possible time (at least when it comes to this, not such a great time if you ever dreamed of owning a house) - we were taught to treat women as equals but no one made us a public enemy on social media for being men.
