Then that’s the answer for OP. Teach your sons to be critical thinkers, who are able to move past emotional and illogical knee-jerk reactions. Feeling “personally disadvantaged” by for-profit companies acting…for-profit…is going to be a very painful way to go through life and yes absolutely will lead to resentment and bitterness, even if it isn’t targeted at women.


Somehow you think that the profit notice erases the fact that people can be “personally disadvantaged” or that it doesn’t matter somehow? That’s not critical thinking at all.


Did these boys feel individually disadvantaged by every firm that only recruited out of higher-tier colleges? They disadvantaged all 20 of them.

Did they feel individually disadvantaged by every internship at the firm that was given to the child of a donor, an executive, or a contact?

Or do they only feel disadvantaged because the firm made the choice to recruit girls as well as boys?

If they’re choosing to resent women in the context of all the other people who didn’t give them internships than no, they’re not remotely critical thinkers.

Somehow they are fine when another man gets the job they wanted; that man earned it, good for him. But a woman? How dare they! She’s not more qualified! I have a penis!! Pick me!
🙄


This doesn’t happen with normal people. Under socialized men who perhaps are undiagnosed, maybe. 95% of men? Nope. Doesn’t happen.

Well it apparently happened to multiple men in this thread. And they blamed women for it. Idk what the percentage is, but that’s literally what this thread is about - these incel men who blame women for all their issues. These men would and DO respect men (ones they see as worthy at least). They listen to them. They pay them. This is the entire grift of red pill content.


But how many people is this IRL? The maladjusted ones aren’t exactly reproducing. The men who are within the range of normal aren’t these basement dwellers. And there’s plenty of men who are within the range of normal. You all are arguing with mental children. You can do that of course but the mental children need to get lives and face challenges head on. I have only boys and I just can’t with the whining. Life is unfair, stop whining and be better.


Only men should stop “whining” or do you say the same to feminists?


I’m the PP. If men are whining, they should stop. If women are whining, they should stop. It’s not about “men” and it certainly isn’t about “feminists.”

Everyone has their victim cards to play and they’re only hurting themselves by playing them.

This is all women want - we are literally begging parents boys to instill this in them.
But for whatever reason, this isn’t happening. I just googled for a # and it doesn’t seem to have one. There are literally millions of men who view rogsn/tate/petersen content. It’s not just a few bad eggs, it’s millions. Thats scary.


How many of these people do you actually know? How many people watch these silly channels and agree vs watching like a train wreck? Are you letting some storyline the media feeds you to gain clicks change how you feel about a whole gender?

We are a populous country with a wide range of views. Of course there’s going to be some leaning too far into this and that. That’s the nature of things.

I agree with the rest of the list but not the bolded. Mom at home with career-focused/workaholic Dad is more likely to make him think women are worthless other than being personal servants. Mom and Dad who both work and share household and kid responsibilities roughly equally is better.

Thank you. You summed up the show Adolescence on Netflix. That show is: UTTERLY. WORTHLESS.

Worse, in fact, since it is designed to push a false narrative and spread irrational fear.

I keep seeing the terms incels and simps. What are these? I think I understand incel, but what is a simp and why do we keep labelling men like this?

Agree, but either parent home is fine. Or at least one parent part time or very flexible and available. Teens benefit greatly from having a parent home, available physically and emotionally, and keeping an eye on what is going on in their life. A parent that is home is more likely to pick up on subtle changes that may need closer monitoring

It’s not a false narrative or an irrational fear given incels have carried out mass killings in the United States.

Incel = Involuntarily Celibate
An insult directed to a male who cannot get laid or looks or acts like he is a virgin. Even if the guy is hot and a hit with the ladies, it can be used to insult someone, either in a good natured way or a mean way. Synonyms would be "ugly" "weird" "loser" "wimpy" etc.

Simp = a male who grovels to a woman/women and prostrates himself, even literally, before a woman, showering her/them with attention and praise even if unwarranted, and willing to do anything for them, while being exploited and used by the female. Synonyms would be "white knight", "cuck", "boy toy", "fk boy" etc.

Pretty sure that all of that is unethical, sure. Of course people feel disadvantaged by all of that. This isn’t either/or.

Women have, for thousands of years, been disadvantaged. Cry me a river.


But that was a bad thing, right? So then it is bad to do the same to men. Especially since these men are not responsible for any of that history.

Somehow you’re trying to say that men are disadvantaged in this society? If so, you are drinking the red pill koolaid.


Red pill has nothing to do with genders. You misunderstand the Matrix meaning behind it. Watch "The Matrix" 1999.

Ugly words used to further divide the sexes, commonly abused on social media to promote “girl power” while creating an equally ugly and hostile narrative about the opposite sex. In essence, more useless labels aimed to divide and conquer.

Both of my DH’s nephews border on this kind of mess.

The mom allowing the father to be abusive contributed, as did allowing the boys to smoke marijuana in the house everyday. Also, they weren’t required to get a job after high school graduation and lo and behold, 10 years later, neither had a job, neither had attended college, and they kept their mom up half the night yelling at the screen as they played video games all night while hitting the bong.

Kids need structure and they don’t need abuse.

Joe Rogan’s podcast is number 1 or 2 most downloads. And as you likely know it’s hours and hours long. That’s quite a lot of effort to consistently listen yo something you think is a train wreck.

I have no clue how all these men wind up as incels. WOmen will line up around the block to spend the rest of their lives with you if you have good hygiene, hold a job, do chores and are nice to them.

I didn't do any of that and all three of my boys went to public schools. One MD, one CPA and one currently at Georgetown Law. All great ambitious young men.
