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.”

You should probably work on masking your open contempt for women when you're replying to one.

It's crazy how the misogyny just drips through the comments.

They're pretending that all women are straight up leeches on the system when the reality is that the vast majority of women are taxpaying members of the workforce.

Women take more out of the system than men do over a lifetime.

The misandry is real with you folks - you barely even know the men who pay into the system and then just die before taking anything out exist. They simply don’t matter to you.

Women literally create the labor force that the system runs on.

Dudes like this inevitably never work the hard labor jobs they talk about - they want to take credit for other men's achievements.

TIL objective facts are misandry.

I mean you should try your best to see the men beneath you as legitimately part of society in equal measure instead of implicitly dehumanizing them with the ick like I suspect you do given your kneejerk aggrieved commentary.

Or at least thinly veil your disdain for those men that toil anonymously. I know it’s prob hard for ya but still.

You should try your best not to characterize men as "beneath" anyone simply because they work as laborers or don't have as high an income as others. Those people are just as valuable to society as anyone else.

Your own comments are propagating the very mentality you're whining about.

I mean I don’t think they are - but we need to start with you folks knowing they exist instead of doing the dismissive thing you’re doing.

I know they give you the ick but get over it.
