I mean look at the responses in this thread… the instant demonization of men is a real thing. There is a rhetorical hole that makes men and boys feel ostracized and isolated, and that’s what the right if targeting. We can’t sit here and pretend that isn’t real, patriarchy is ingrained in society and hurts everyone.

Yes, what's going is that some guy says "women need to give me sex no matter what". The left says "ehhh. No she doesn't, what makes you say that?" The right says "yeah bro, you're totally right!"

So yes, the left makes them feel ostracized and shamed for having opinions that should be ostracized and shamed. There is also help, but you have to take it. Meanwhile the right happily exploits them while agreeing wholeheartedly.

You do realize you’re creating a caricature here right? Very few young men and boys start from the position of “women need to give me sex no matter what”

Maybe I have a different perspective that’s evolved as my son has aged, but your rhetoric is profoundly unhelpful for young men just trying to figure themselves and the world out.

Well, feel free to share your perspective. I'm neither male, nor a parent. I do have to deal with men who have these issues though.
