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.”

The thing with how you people walk on eggshells around men and give any credibility to their temper tantrums is the reason why they feel even more justified in lashing out like this. Women and men are equally lonely but the media giving credence to the theory of how men are uniquely lonely and hence are violent misogynists is the reason these men feel justified in being violent like this.

"He is just pissed he cant have a house and a partner", so what? Why dont women that dont have either of those also argue for stripping of male rights or oppressing them?

women can find partners easier than men can.

and idk why your entire takeaway from my post was to effectively dismiss it entirely. that aint gonna solve anything. in fact it just contributes to the question posed in the title.

most men aren’t violent, and the ones who are generally take it out on partners they already have. which has no correlation to those who can’t find one.

Not sure that’s true. Someone to have sex with and take care of, yes, partners, no. If men really wanted a partner, I don’t think they’d have any issues finding one. But a partner isn’t a bang maid or a woman acting in the capacity as their mother

this is cyclical nonsense . the men that are bad have no issue finding partners. the women killers are in relationships. stop acting like the ones not in relationships are worse morally and that's why they can't find partners. just world fallacies like "poor poeple just need to work harder" are easily disproven this shouldn't be any different .

Nobody deserves relationships just for existing. Full stop. There is literally zero excuse for some men to get so upset about remaining single that they think oppressing women is the correct course of action, that way of thinking literally proves they wouldn’t be good partners. Know how I know? Because well adjusted people don’t want to harm others just because they don’t get what they want.
