I post the article because it's from Boston's official government website so progressive icon Michelle Wu had to have signed off on it

I feel like this is bad because I know this sounds bad but men don't deserve this, their insecurity,ego and feelings of inadequacy are what got Trump elected here and will likely lead to an AFD government in Germany and an NR government in France.

I feel by doing this we are letting them win and validating their feelings and by extension their persecution complex so now they have every incentive to throw a fit and threaten to vote for and then end up actually voting for right wing parties.

Yeh yeh men have problems to I read bell hooks ok but they have problems in the same way white people have problems, we need to not give in and weather the storm like we did for white people throwing a fit when they started losing status and privilege.

Because we won that fight, we did organized whiteness has gone the way of the dodo when in 2017 with the alt right it felt like ti was taking the world by storm.

It sounds like you have a lot of hurt wrapped up in this and I am sorry for that. Men are people. A lot of alt right men were led down a path by people who cared, because others did not and told them they were the opressor and enemy when in reality they were lost and without social connection. Men do not get socialized in the same way women do and beating on them like this rather than offering a hand in help is what led to this exact thing.

You also sound young as well as full of energy on this topic. You are losing the human perspective in favor of us versus them politics. You are perpetuating it.

Please think about what you are doing, I don't think me debating you further will lead to anything.

Sincerely a leftist white man who loves all people and wants us all to get along and support one another.
