Also, literally who cares. This isn’t politics. Zoomers and millenials are very left-wing and that hasn’t changer significantly in recent years. This isn’t happening at scales that are shifting the political landscape. Idk why there is an obsession with this shit.

I doubt people who say the left is mistreating men could point to any specific thing. Or any evidence that men are leaving the left. It’s just a general vibe made entirely by online echochambers.

Men aren’t leaving the left over this, but men who are unhappy with their material conditions, who might otherwise get pipelined left, are getting pipelined right by this shit instead. It’s not a loss, but a lost opportunity.

And you’re right that the left isn’t mistreating these guys, we’re just giving them nothing. If a guy starts googling around about how to find a girlfriend, he gets either bland platitudes or a fast track to the alt right. There is no purpose-built “how to talk to women” equivalent on the left.

The problem is that social media algorithms will only boost the simplistic and hateful right wing content and won’t boost good l ft wing self help stuff.

It is mostly an internet thing. Are there feminists who hate men, and think them to be nothing but rapacious orcs and demons, incapable of human emotions? Yes. Is this what feminism is? No. Do both the aforementioned feminists and fascists portray them as the face of leftist ideology? Yes. Just talk to actual people who have actual political opinions and not brain worms.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
