[quote=Anonymous]Last year I read "Men Who Hate Women: From incels to pickup artists, the truth about extreme misogyny and how it affects us all" by Laura Bates. It takes a look at online incel culture, how those attitudes infect the broader culture, and how those things relate to a lot of the social dysfunction we see today.

As a general starting point, I think we have to give our sons (and young men generally) the message that being a man isn't a bad thing and there are aspects of masculinity that are truly admirable. When pushing back against those aspects of masculinity that are toxic, I think too many people paint with too broad a brush in a way that is alienating, particularly to young men.

A big problem with that alienation is that grifters and indoctrinators have no problem capitalizing on the alienation, embracing young men and providing them with a welcoming group of like-minded individuals.

Aside from not treating men as the enemy, I think it's useful to expose the grift, highlight cult techniques a lot of these groups use, and point out that embracing a culture of grievance is not a path to happiness over the long term. Aggrieved people are usually angry and miserable. [/quote]
