    When you spend a decade talking about men as rapists, abusers and incels thats what happens.

    Kids dont have the ability to reason their way out of it, so they look for acceptance and right-wing pundits have been waiting with open arms.

      This is a common man-o-sphere narrative but most people, within their own circles, have healthy intergender relationships. We talk about rapists, abusers, and incels as rapists, abusers, and incels - those folks can be women or men. While women are justifiably cautious around strange men late at night that doesn’t mean all men are abusers, rapists, or incels.

        You are correct.

        But itd be disingenuous to say that there isnt a pretty noticeable discussion that says all men are absusers on places like twitter and discord.

        And kids dont have the faculties to dissect a statement like that.

          Yea, I try to correct that when I see it but I do understand how young folks can get that impression.
