I hate that I have to raise a son in an environment that is becoming so hateful towards men just for existing. I saw a picture of a woman at a protest against a child molester and she had a sign that says "not all men but it's ALWAYS a man" As someone who was molested by a woman when I was a kid, that shit is offensive and aggressive.

The down votes say it all. This shit is why its hard to get men onto the left.

Exactly. You have one side that doesn't give a shit about men's issues and demonizes them for it and the other side that also doesn't give a shit about men's issues but gives the occasional lip service or pretends to listen on occasion.

Neither is a good choice, but one is not openly hostile, and that makes it easy to fall that way.

And it's worse because nonone is asking for a lot. Listening to men won't set us back fifty years. It would actually bring more men into the leftist fold. But of course that is not what it's about to them.

Yeah, modern narratives basically teach men to hate themselves. I drank the Kool aid until my early 20s until I dated a narcissists and came to the realization that abusive pieces of shit come in all genders. And then when I need to turn to look for a role model there is nothing out there except right wing douche bags. Then we worry why young men gravitate towards the alt right.
