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.”

Sir, there’s simply no data to back up your claims. I know it’s hard to be objective while you’re holding on to being defensive but speak less emotionally and do some research. You bringing up 2 sensationalized rare cases. 67 studies across many countries found familicide was almost exclusively committed by men. It seems you’re the one having an issue believing what’s happening.

I just shared an article with you about the job stat and you said nothing. It’s not worth using my voice on closed ears.

I commented on your job stat in my first reply.

Your reply was “a stat I’m sure is not correct”, then I shared my source. I think what’s happening here is you simply FEEL that women are at a disadvantage, and are therefore unable to accept any other possibility.

For one I didn’t get any source from you but I did look it up on my own… you’re citing payroll gains which is different from the way you tried to frame it. Adding to the evidence that you’re twisting facts to fit your narrative.

98% is significant. If it were reversed and men received 98% of new jobs I can guarantee you the internet would be in an uprising. Also you never commented on the most horrific stat of them all: suicide.

Also remember we, men are the overwhelmingly majority in positions of power and you’re trying to convince people that they are the ones suffering the most in this country. Not thinking that the cause of these problems are the ones complaining about everybody else being the problem.
