    The suicide rate is going up among boys. Might as well encourage it at this point.

    Misogyny makes the problems young men face worse. Stemming that tide is a good thing.

      And telling them over and over that 50% of the population sees them as a threat is going to help? And it so easy to get label as misogynistic where do we call it extremism?

        Um, incels have long been in the spotlight as possibly violent extremists. TBF research says that a minority of them become mass shooters, but their ideology is as clearly misogynist as it gets.

        over and over that 50% of the population sees them as a threat

        It is so easy to pick up some minimal etiquette, which most guys use to feint decency and lead normal lives, despite being more or less misogynist on the inside. If you can hardly stick to that ridiculously low bar, then in good faith, you might need to talk to a professional?

        If you spew Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson nonsense at your first encounter with a woman, then yes you are perceived as a possible threat and women are smart enough to show one the door.

          Stuff like this is what I am talking g about. I think it’s a legitimate concern that we are adding yet another watch list that only targeting one group of people and now you are just assuming I am dome Petersen mutant.

            I mean, even the struggle to self-censor crap beliefs is pathetic. Most guys don’t even censor themselves or outright announce that they self-censor. Like refraining from spewing transphobia and misogyny in front of women is like refraining from farting on a date. Most women are not even that pedantic with these things. The fact that this poses a mental toil on you as if you cannot tell a radicalized incel from an average dickhead is really alarming. I hope you find peace.
