> I see that I was the one who didn’t get it. Interesting how the article starts. She had a good heart and wanted to help fix a problem, but didnt consider the unintended consequences. >Boys and men are less likely to turn to their communities for social connection and support. Less likely to go to college. More likely to die by suicide or overdose. Too often, instead of being met with care, they’ve been manipulated…

I don't really understand any of your comment. Can you explain exactly how to solve all the problems that she's rightfully pointed out? I'm actually not sure what your problem is with what she says. Or why you think pointing out the toxicity of the manosphere is a bad thing? You actually didn't provide any arguments for why she's wrong and you didn't provide any better solutions either. I took away much more from her…

>I took away much more from her post than I did your comment. All I see here is somebody who's firmly in the alt right bubble who doesn't like being called out.

As I said go back to read the first part about how she doesnt understand. Just like you just admit dont understand.

Again another label pushed onto others, 'alt right' keep it up. keep dividing and attacking.

>But now, as diversity pipeline programs like the one I've spent my career building are systematically dismantled and women's fundamental rights are rolled back to chants of “your body, my choice,”

Who is winning? The author straight up admits defeat and wants to go after children to push her failed ideas. You know how fast that'll be systematically dismantled if she tried?

Her push for boys who nurse or teach is telling. Will she call out the systemic sexism in those industries? Give men free tuition to become those things? You've never even heard that before have you? My side isnt about attacking like this.

>You actually didn't provide any arguments for why she's wrong and you didn't provide any better solutions either.

My solution is being implemented and is systematically dismantling the problem. It's about rolling back some rights. My body, her choice is what we heard during covid vaccines.

Sorry that i am part of the side that's implementing the solution. What's to argue for?

What happened here is that the republicans should have pushed back against this stuff, but as the quote goes... "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
