I may be biased, but so far I’m seeing so many more men then woman speak up and act out.
Dudes! Be like her, aye?

Maybe it’s projecting but I do think there is a real problem with loneliness. We live in a world where our shared spaces have been gutted and everyone pointed at commodified versions instead. Social media and dating apps in place of community doesn’t work for everyone. But of course nobody cares about that, and instead we only hear this stupid gendered version about how unfair it is women would rather be alone than abused.

Oh, I absolutely agree on that as an issue. I just think it’s also being used to excuse away some really shitty behavior.
Yeah, very much true…

My mother is a 70+ yo woman who left an abusive marriage and moved to a small town where she is the only non religious person. Loneliness is very common among old women.
People never are thinking of women like this because honestly they want them dead. They don’t exist in the narratives we care about in the cultural cesspits that exist online for sure.
So yeah unfortunately one of the problems with our lonely and alienated society is that the narcissism of inexperienced angry male children can be endlessly exploited to kill us all apparently.

I would argue that the emphasis on male-female romantic/sexual relationships is a significant part of the problem. You can get lots of human socializing out in public spaces if you’re not focused on ‘must find a girl to have sex with me or my life is empty’. Sex is not the primary source of human interaction that it’s been made out to be.
I’ve noticed that according to recent polls, younger generations seem to have pulled back on being so focused on sex. Maybe they’ve figured out that they’ve been sold a load of bull.

Yes, and to add to that, the specific notion of male/female romantic relationships we’re sold in the US is pretty harmful. We’re taught from a pretty young age that serial monogamy is the only “respectable” way to grow into the world of sexuality. At least us wimmins are. It can be quite damaging.
I went to Europe after Highschool (mid-nineties) and was really surprised how the people my age there thought about sex and romance. They were much more likely to think of it as a time of exploration and having fun with each other, not this intense societal pressure to connect “true love” with sex. They instead connected things like like-mindedness, and compatibility with sex. There was no assumption that every dating partner had to be a candidate to be “the one.” And less of the yucky proprietary mindset that seems to accompany so many romantic relationships I’d seen. It seemed so refreshing and honest compared to how I grew up.
Of course, I was still a repressed kid, so only enjoyed it from an anthropological angle at the time, but it was nice to see that what I considered “normal” was in fact just one of many options for approaching sex, romance, and love.

I would say the purity culture has blown right past the “prude” stage even in toxicity.
From what I see of our culture it seems young people have been raised to be unable love anyone as anything but a possession and a tool. There is a lover and an object. There is a master and a servant. Never two lovers.
Under such conditions, if they want to experience the latter, they have to overcome a lot to even try.
If some of the younger ones are realizing this is a trap early though then good for them!
