First 3 sentences I was with you all the way, then you lost me.

It's not that difficult to understand

There was a time in our history when instant hatred of blacks was the norm too, and people then would've no doubt also been lost by any effort to fault the haters instead of the hated.

And before you even go there, they also would've been able to trot out a list of reasons why their hatred was purportedly justified.

At some point in the future (if we have a future) people will figure out that boys need and deserve help and sympathy because they too face hardships, and they'll provide it for them, rather than just leaving them to deal with it on their own, then blaming them for turning to a bunch of toxic assholes who have made a comfortable living out of offering boys the help and support and affirmation they're not getting elsewhere.

Until then, unfortunately, I expect to keep seeing a large chunk of society alternately disregard boys at best if not outright condemn them out of hand, then cry about the fact that they're turning to the manosphere for support and affirmation.
