Funny how it's "inspirational" when the victim’s a man - but we’d all agree it’s a tragedy if the roles were reversed.
Honestly people act shocked that the younger generation of males in the world are conservative but this is what they see on a daily basis.
I'm all for feminism and equality but if you have to put someone down to lift yourself up that's not helpful for anyone.
So many young men are turning into conservatism not because of femenism but because of the patriarchy. They keep being told men have to do this and that to be real men (men don't cry, men are the bread winners, househusbands are bad, men don't talk about feelings etc) And you know what? They feel like there is no one to stand up for them and they start seeing the movement that is fighting against all these things in the name of women as their enemy and lash out against it and fall into the words of grifters.
Of course there are a bunch of femcels, terfs etc. that call themselves femenist that bastardize the movement by trying to put women over men or even all genders. Instead of taking the hand of these men and help them fight these old norms and start normalizing the extistence of househusbands and housewives. Make it ok for men to show feelings and fighting for actual equality.
So if you are a secure man and actually care for the future you should not be fighting but be supporting femenism.
I'm so sorry you're getting downvoted. The fact that your comment currently has more downvotes than upvotes -- for making accurate statements and supporting feminism -- reflects why women don't stick around on Lemmy. I think it's time for me to leave too; I don't want to be part of a community where this many men are anti-feminist. These guys should really take a class on feminism, sex, and gender studies.
To be honest I was kinda surprised it was getting down voted so much. I had the impression lemmy would be a more inclussive for women & other genders as it is mostly leftist leaning...
Anyways I hope you find a place on the web where you can find like minded people.
