I keep seeing this content that’s “men are so stupid and inferior and awful” and it’s grating on me.

Like, yes, there’s definitely a strong toxic subset of men, but most of use are just… normal?

I’m in my mid 30s, when the women aren’t around we’re mostly talking about kids (those who have them), hockey, finances, house stuff, and weird health issues. Depending on the group, how stupid politics/government shit is lately.

I don’t know. It feels like the toxicity that came for incels is coming at women hard these last few years. Reddit really pushes this stuff lately.

That's because it's troll bait. Just like all generations have a bigger than wanted set of shitty people. I don't feel like I can take this shit down because it's not breaking any rules. You all can help by not falling for the bait though.

Definitely this. It circulates widely because it generates outrage, even though the number of people who actually believe this is miniscule. This is the same technique right-wing media uses

Agitprop, yep. One of the oldest tricks in the book, and we still need to remind people. 😶
