    The study revealed high levels of anti-feminist sentiment amongst UK men, with 50 per cent endorsing ‘red pill’ rhetoric underpinned by misogynistic ideology. 67 per cent of men agreed that “the media tends to portray men in a negative light”, while 59 per cent of men agreed that “feminism is about favouring women over men”.

    Doesn’t that seem a stretch to call misogynistic red pilled thinking?

    Dang, this survey doesn’t seem to be super promising.

    To be fair, social media doesn’t help here. It is like giving a megaphone to every toxic fuck. Young folks read too much of that garbage so… Was anyone expecting anything else?

    I don’t necessarily subscribe to the “they have too high standards/expect too much” bit though, just the unlovable part lol

    Kind of an okay thing. We get told our whole lives that falling in love is the meaning of life so we manipulate women and power structures to make it happen no matter the damage. Maybe our lives should be less marriage-centric.

    What if at least 1 in four men believed we could tangibly improve the world by just giving our time or empathy freely without needing something in return?

      Imagine what would happen to the system if this large part of the working population believe (and are able to practice) giving their labour for free.
