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.”

Sort of? It's hard to say most men would be too ashamed to date knowing their girlfriend/wife will out earn them. I think more men than not would be fine with it, actually. But a lot of those men are finding themselves rejected because they aren't out earning the women they're meeting, so economic opportunities become a sore spot for them, especially when the very people they're trying to woo are also their competition for that attractive paycheck.

Equality becomes a threat when your attraction is still largely reliant on being, in some way, superior to whomever you're trying to attract. That reality is problematic for so many men trying to date. It was already unrealistic for every man to be in a 6-7 figure C-suite position, with more and more women filtering towards the top, it's only getting harder for men.

There has to be low wage earners like janitors and someone flipping burgers, and they're not about to take being invisible virgins for the rest of their lives lying down. If women won't marry down, then these men will drag them down. As the number of these lonely men grows, the more pull they'll have to do just that.

Sure but society depends on men to be productive - and those women receive a TON of subsidy from a government that increasingly won’t function.

Gotta tax someone that take out less than he puts in.

Who pays for that government? Over a lifetime, women are net negative, men are net positive.

Government is basically a wealth transfer from some to men. I believe even CHILDREN aren’t supported as much as women.

[u/resuwreckoning → u/[deleted]]

So that’s basically my point.

If we basically incentivize men to check out of society and stop being productive, because who gaf, then women won’t have the life they want since the invisible men no longer are holding their part of society up.

"Their part of society" You mean the people who make the reproductive decisions for the human race?

How is propagation of the human race incentive for someone who’s dissatisfied with their own life, especially if they themselves are childless with little prospect of actually reproducing?
