    Many young men who can’t find a partner are getting radicalized by the manosphere.

    Women are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

    Edit: this is calling out how women are criticized for both dating and not dating conservative men. Leave to to Lemmy’s male echo chamber to explain how this is not the case.

      I don’t get your logic. You’re saying he would be a nice person if he got some? In my experience all that does is justify all their toxic masculinity because it finally worked and now they have a partner.

        Nope. Completely missing the point here.

        This comment isn’t criticizing women’s dating preferences, it’s criticizing the criticism on women’s dating preferences.

        People blame women for not dating moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and further funnelling them into the alt right pipeline.

        People blame women for dating conservative men which affirms their political views.

        It doesn’t matter if women date conservatives men or not, someone will find a way to point fingers.

          Then you need to work on your communication skills because what you said was “their damned if they do, and damned if they don’t”.

          Your inability to articulate yourself correctly does not constitute a problem on our part. Your edit is petty all you have to do was clearly explain yourself but instead you went on a rent about how everyone isn’t psychic.

      Just to clarify, are you blaming women for not having sex with these men?

      The solution involves good healthcare, education, social safety, and respect. Men with no jobs, no role models, entitlement (particularly to relationships and/or sex), no apparent future, and bad mental health support are a recipe for disaster.

      I should know as I used to tick a number of those boxes. I think, had I been younger when YouTube and stuff came around, I’d have fallen prey to far right conspiricies

        Nope. You’ve got it the other way around. I’m blaming people for criticizing women’s dating preferences no matter if they date conservatives or not.

        People blame women for refusing to date moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and funnelling them further into the alt-right pipeline.

        People blame women for dating conservative men and affirming their conservative views.

        It doesn’t matter what political preferences women have, there is just no winning here.

      like, it doesn’t work that way. there should be a social contract saying “people take care of each other, that’s how society works”.

      i get that you’re saying women shouldn’t despise men just for being men (and i could agree to that), but that doesn’t mean they have to accept any kind of bullshit. it’s good to stand against the right-wing sociopathy and reject relationships with these people. because ultimately, these people don’t take care of you either. right-wingers are often against basic human needs.

      “Leave to to Lemmy’s male echo chamber to explain how this is not the case.”

      This is such a great way to change people’s minds, just insulting them and calling them a monolith. You should probably leave if this is your predisposition to Lemmy, it sounds like you will always find reason to be a contrarian because you have innate negative opinions on the users here.
