It’s been talked about for a while: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/fathers-financial-abortion_b_1015286 (Huffpost: Should Men Have the Right to ‘Financial Abortions’?) but it hasn’t caught on; I’d speculate its due to people still clinging to traditional norms.
Not getting laid is not a social problem. It’s not even a problem in the first place.
I mean, this is what capitalists/reactionaries/bootlickers say about all sorts of things, like representation in media, realistic beauty standards, healthcare, gainful/meaningful employment, etc.
I have to say that I think that this point is kind of an irreconcilable disagreement. I think that if a given set of people cannot engage in basic human social activities, then that’s both a problem & potentially a social one.
I hate to say it, but any kind of solution to the problem of lonely men isn’t going to come from the West (or from leftists in the West). I think it’s going to come from the comrades in the Global South. I’m curious how China is going to handle its surplus of men (https://jezebel.com/china-and-india-have-a-man-surplus-and-its-as-dire-as-i-1825360810). I seriously doubt they’re gonna do what I see most on here and other mostly western leftists do (i.e. respond with ridicule but no tangible solutions, just platitudes of “be yourself”).
I mean, it’s just like I said:
Interesting, I’ll give it a watch.
