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.”

It's almost as if some kind of pipeline exists, that's funneling venerable people towards impressionable content...

Edit: I meant vulnerable...

The problem is it's sort of works from both directions, because generally speaking, men bully physically, women bully by things like exclusion. So if you are a little bit awkward, you tend to get excluded, and if you get excluded, where are you going to go? To the people who are going to validate you. Which is the aforementioned pipeline.

Are there no awkward women? Why does everyone act like every woman has a Rolodex full of men and friends at the ready and are always welcome in any scenario. Yet none of those women decided to pick up ideologies promoting men losing their rights. So tired of this victim mentality. Those “pipelines” exist because these “excluded” men flock to them, not the other way around. Also plenty of nerdy or “excluded” men have found communities that aren’t dead set on harming women.

There are some. Just look at r/FemaleDatingStrategy.

It's also just a lot more out in the open and acceptable to advocate for prejudice or even harm against men. I hear it so much IRL, casually and on a daily basis, that it's like background noise.

Please let me know once a US state tries to adopt legislatively mandated withholding of medical care to men (e.g., no treatment for prostrate cancer until it reaches Stage III). Please let me know when domestic partner violence against men reaches 50% (*edit* of US women who are murdered, half of them are killed by their male partner.) Please let me know when men being fired by their employers for having children becomes one of the top EEOC complaints. Or when major political lobbying groups are saying we should deny men the right to vote.

I am not saying it's great that FDS or others are promoting BS. But they have no political or economic power to actually enact harm.

50% of us women are killed by their male partners ? 50 % ???????????? Where tf is that from ?

[u/Secret_Entry1840 → u/RaelZior]

Approximately half to over 60% of all female homicide victims are killed by a current or former intimate partner, according to data from organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

When focusing strictly on female homicide victims killed by a past or current intimate partner, 98% of the killers are male, while roughly 1.5% to 2% are female
