True, but you haven't listened, right? It's painfully obvious that you have no space in you to really try to show compassion to these men. That when you think of them, the first place your mind goes is Andrew Tate and Elon Musk and the worst caricatures of men on social media.
I'm not talking about women entering the workforce, I've never, ever heard. anyone blame women entering the workforce for stagnating wages, and if I did, yes, I'd immediately dismiss this person as an idiot too. But there are so many men who are not Andrew Tate bots blaming women for their problems.
The point is, nobody seems to care about their problems. And the aforementioned caricatures of men are just so ubiquitous in some people's minds, their dismissal is so hilariously predictable, that if I were a white teenage boy today, I can imagine I'd feel completely abandoned by society. I can imagine how often I'd be made to feel invisible.
It's Hillary Clinton saying that women have always been the primary victims of war, because they lose their sons and husbands in battle, forgetting the sons and husbands are the ones dying.
It's the way that when we try to communicate the horror of war dead, we always express it in terms of women and children.
It's, as I say in the article, that men are disproportionally suffering from depression and suicide and work in dangerous, dirty jobs, they're disproportionately unlikely to have an emotional support network, they're falling behind in education, and yet, while the Left would be all over this if it affected any other group, all most people do is say they should try harder or that they're privileged or that this is just payback for things that happened before they were born. And as I also mention in the article, talking about this is hard enough that a lifelong feminist who made a film about men's issues faced a years-long campaign to ruin her life. Cassie Jaye, you can find her story on Youtube, it's wild.
So all I'm really suggesting here is the radical notion that men are also people. No, most men don't see their forced conscription as something that makes them "superior." Most men don't want to die in a desert somewhere or get their limbs blown off because it's "manly."
Most of them have all the same feelings and fears you would have about going to war. But their situation is different simply because they were born with a penis. Don't focus only on the outliers, less than 1% of the population, who think it's cool to go off and shoot people for a living.
