There’s a big backlash among young white men regarding women and minorities having equal rights as them. They don’t think the rest of us should be able to get the jobs and opportunities they feel they are owed. All the data shows rampant anti-feminist misogyny accelerated by social media
Imo mechanization, particularly in agriculture, only really hit in the last century. Consequently, sexual dimorphism has become inconsequential to wage labor.

You’re acting like the left doesn’t know all this? These men literally don’t want to compete with us for jobs. They’re misogynist losers who are also having a hard time getting laid and that’s baffling to them as well because they feel entitled to it.
