    It is why you find "there is a continuum of slanderous generalizations" on these platforms.
    Similar to what I was about to say. That these extreme views are present on Twitter, Tik-Tok, etc., gives you a good reason to either go somewhere else, or at least to not take them so seriously. In the long run the only folks whose opinion of you matters at all are the ones who know you in real life, and the angry, extreme, accusatory opinions of certain people about men or anyone else have little to no power there. If you choose to "live" in that make-believe social media world, be prepared to either deal with or ignore what lurks there.

    CC, as to not feeling like you want to call yourself a "liberal", why should you feel forced to label yourself as anything? In some contexts and regarding some questions of public policy or the law I'm what most people would call a "liberal", but there are at least as many if not more things that bring out the "conservative" side of my beliefs and thinking. Labeling yourself just gives people an excuse to think they know what your views on a given topic are going to be before you've had a chance to state them.

    I have come to the conclusion that the current insane promotion of the transgender is in part to undermine masculinity. Note how the left media focus is nearly exclusive to boys wanting to be girls both as children and adults. The intrusion into what was once a feminist cause (womens's sports) may be nothing more than taking one for the team.

    The problem is treating social media as news, and I don't fault CC for doing that because our mainstream media does it as well. You are correct to observe that people with nothing better to do than be online all day posting political propaganda for the cause should be ignored.

    We can agree to disagree. In my opinion, traditional gender roles and many other Social Roles became unviable following the Industrial Revolution.

You can decide to step back and see the situation as an outsider might see it. Just observe the conversations and analyze them--leave the emotion out. Then, you'll begin to see that those who belittle you have nothing more than you have.
    1) Thank you -- agree 100%.

    2) In my opinion, any Societal Problem which is not opposed is bound to grow. According to Karl Popper, any biased ideology which is not opposed is bound to take over.

    Most people oppose Taliban-like plans to restrict women. Very very few people oppose demonization of men -- thus it is bound to grow.

    There is nothing more satisfying, than EARNING what you have and, not having it handed to you by people who EARNED what you're being given.
    I can not agree with Conservatives on this issue. Being mostly Liberal, I understand that most Conservatives will at best tolerate me -- not agree with me. But Mainstream Liberals would not tolerate any dissent.

    1) Contempt for men has been taught by Mainstream Media since 1990s. Now it is common in younger generation.

    2) Male victims of Domestic Violence are more likely to be arrested then helped.

    3) Men get 61% more prison time for the same crime.

    4) Many men lose careers and university enrollment over unfounded accusations.

    Neither of those statements is true - at least not in the real world. Try visiting it more.

    1) A tweet celebrating deaths of men by COVID with over 400,000 likes is very indicative of how the young generation feels.

    Men of your generation were treated at least as Equals. Sadly, younger men are held in deep contempt within Progressive circles.

    2) Prejudice against any birth group should be opposed. Am I wrong?
