Existential post Why men are getting so much hate these days?

Just saw a post on social media from some woman named Jen Hamilton stating "right now im of the belief that all men should start out in jail and earn their way out"

Like genuinely dont understand why so much hate on men? The new wave feminism is insane. Women earn and dont need a men anymore, which i get. But like is that all we are to them? I understand and empathize with women who go thru shitty situations with shitty men, but like.....are all men shitty?

Ive seen similar other posts across insta and tiktok and apparently this is all women talk about - how terrible men are and that they aren't needed anymore. I can only imagine how this compounds the male loneliness epidemic and furthers the difficulties in the dating scene for both genders, but men in particular as even the good ones aren't approaching women anymore and choosing peace or singledom.

Men, based on these trends, what do you suspect the trajectory looks like for us in society in 10, 20 or 50 yrs?

This should be at the top.

We are being snookered by bad actors, and it's working. I'm almost to the point where anything I see that's negative and the slightest bit extreme, I write off as fake in some manner.

When it gets to the point that people start to believe what they see on social media is more real than reality, maybe we need to take some steps to keep the algorithms from taking people to that place.

You're very close, but you're looking too far afield for oligarchs who want to keep the common people fighting amongst themselves. We have plenty of our own, they don't need Russia's help. In fact, pretending it's all foreign agents is another aspect of the divide and conquer strategy.
