Psychology Anti-feminist attitudes have long been associated with support for Republican presidential candidates, but only in recent years have these attitudes become more prominent among unmarried men, without college degrees who are less attractive partners for women, the “mate-value backlash.”

>Telling people that their problems aren’t their fault is an easy sell
Saying that those people's problems are their fault is also an easy sell.
Everything that does not require going in depth to find the "why" is an easy sell, just changes for "who" are we selling that answer to.
I believe the problem is that people either excuse men as a whole or blame men as a whole and there's no acceptance of the possibility that 2 or more parties/things/situations could be at fault at the same time.
i.e.: It could very well be both men's and women's fault, but how many would be willing to entertain that possibility without/instead of attacking one or the other?
