Notice the growing rhetoric online in both far left and right spaces.
Male grievances are louder and louder each day and both the right and left have been blaming women and minorities. The prevailing response to everything is “look what you made me do”
A list of some of the current male grievances:
-
Male unemployment: it’s all the bitch HR Karen’s or DEI programs or girlbosses or women who doubled the workforce. Women who aim for financial independence are either the woke elite or the bourgeois depending which side of the aisle you ask
-
Male loneliness: Women withhold sex from men. In the right wing man’s eyes: These frigid woke bitches need to return to God and be married off by patriarchs. Go far enough in brocialist circles and: Women are capital owners and the capital is sex. They are withholding this from the poor male proletariat.
-
Fertility rates: Women who use birth control or opt to not have children is actually eugenics or dysgenics. Depends on which side you are talking to.
Men on both the right and left believe women are this woke elite class or the bourgeois withholding the resources they deserve (and those resources are: job, sex, unpaid domestic labor). Just look at the male loneliness crisis discourse. It’s always about how men are being left behind. They act like all women are succeeding and have amazing lives. They view all women as neurotypical, rich, privileged, white, thin, and social. Why do you think men keep complaining about how women have it so easy?
Women who are poor, POC, fat, disabled, suicidal, lonely, etc. They don’t exist.

IDK why this was downvoted – everyone is scapegoated for the profits of the rich under capitalism.
The rich extract billions of dollars from the USA economy, defund schools, threaten healthcare- and men blame women for not reproducing with them under terrible conditions. Not all men – but the stupid ones do 100% of the time because they are too dumb to cut through propaganda and punch up.
We must gather together and help each other.
Also you might want to try a federated site like mastadon or lemmy in the future to talk to other women, reddit is unfortunately too fucked to salvage at this point due to spez, jailbait mod.
It’s sickening how men, whether right-wing pigs or woke bros, keep trying to pin their own failings and insecurities on us women, as if our existence is the sole cause of their misery… Newsflash: We didn’t create your toxic masculinity or societal ills
Are people out their failing their check to ask the ultimate question of communism?
Thank you. Also drives me crazy the way they tell only half of that narrative to conveniently leave out their own ‘opportunity’ to make sacrifices and effort. eg loneliness: men withhold commitment and full financial sharing and provision from women they wish to gain sex and emotional companionship from. Right? It’s gotta go both ways! Maybe a big reason women aren’t having babies is because society – run by men – is so actively hostile to motherhood, let alone children. eg Elon Musk Finally, love your point about disabled, suicidal etc. Where is the community safety net for women? We’re like the labourers, the poor south of the men white collar north. Fortunately IME this is mainly online rhetoric and not what is happening IRL around me.
Unemployment (of any gender): The fucking AI that can’t match resumes and only wants to hire dudes named Jarod who played Lacrosse in college (mostly AI written by men).
Male loneliness: toxic masculinity that prevents men from forming appropriate emotional bonds with other men or with *women* who they have no sexual interest in.
Everyone’s loneliness: the lack of “third spaces” and the way that apps have algorithms that isolate us for capitalism.
Fertility rates: men who are actively involved in rearing infants actually want fewer children, because they realize how much work it is. Also, everyone’s access to effective birth control methods.
A core issue: when women moved into the workforce in all fields, at all levels, men completely failed to step up to take on a fair share of domestic tasks.
