The more I hear people talk about it who aren’t cis-het men, the more I hear criticism about the concept. But so far, I’ve only heard people say that it’s stupid, that it’s not a thing, that it’s men’s own fault etc. But I’ve yet to understand where that criticism comes from. I don’t want to start a discussion on whether or not it’s real or not. I just want to understand where the critics are coming from.

    It’s socially acceptable to hate and be biased against men. Especially white men, and especially working-class white men.

    It’s not so socially acceptable to hate on wealthy white men. The point is you have to become a wealthy white guy, or get bent.

    You will also notice the discussion is frame that any man who isn’t independently wealthy is a failure at life and undeserving of friendship/love. The advice is always ‘get rich and get fit’ as if that is the solution. It isn’t.

        here on lemmy it’s super popular. but the average person admires wealthy people and if you shit on them or critiize them they will just accuse you of being jealous of their success.

        most people want to be rich they see a CEO and they wish to be like that. They don’t think it’s bad.
