Only commenting because I can't down vote on my instance. This is repulsive MRA fluff from a consistently misogynistic writer. Nothing to add because its not worth platforming.
There's an odd tendency amongst certain sections of society to immediately dismiss issues that other people are experiencing based on disgust at some of the people airing the issues. Just because someone unpalatable to you co-opts the issue doesn't mean it's a none-issue.
If we want to stop being surprised by things like Brexit and Donald Trump being elected then attempting to silence discussion like this above piece isn't going to help.
Doesn't mean we need to listen and share disgusting people just because the issue they're coopting actually somewhat real
Describing the content of that article as REPULSIVE is just deeply misandrist. Why is it seemingly impossible for people to care about more than one demographic at once.
That would be great if there was such a thing as misandry but there isn't - at least on a wider societal scale where it has a constant day to day effect. Men's liberation is absolutely a thing but this article functions more as whataboutism than anything else.
As an already clearly set boundary, I'm not going to explain to you why this is the case but I can point you in the right direction. I'm personally a fan of the work of Lee Shevek but if you are looking to learn through community osmosis, the aforementioned community is a good place to learn.
I wasn't talking about on a societal level, I was talkling about you. I also don't need a reading list on why you think you can be dismissive of men's issues. The article is about a recently published report about issues facing boys and young men. There is no whataboutism as it isn't in response to anything.
Wow. Making an account just to be a misogynist. Piss off back to Reddit. Misogynistic prick.
Yes that is what is happening here. Clearly you're not doing well, so I'm thankful you're just getting angry on lemmy and not actually making a difference.
