there's a whole class of journalists who people thought were on the left but have always been Like This.
Fang, Taibbi, Cenk, Blumenthal, a whole bunch of Young Turks types, and, of course, Greenwald
they didn't get awful. they've always been.

I’ve tried here for a bit & coming up blank….
No bro, "toxic" is a descriptor of a specific kind of masculinity. But they knowingly choose to interpret it that way just to feign outrage. They've chosen toxicity.
Then they got criticized for something and their focus changed. Could call it Maherism.
Our mothers taught us that life is unfair and to work harder to get ahead.
Men still run everything, we can probably find a solution.
It's not simoly about being outworked. The marginalisation occurs from my experience when people don't take these problems seriously or give them enough airtime.
Now that men have to put in the same effort as everyone else, what? Do we need to throw them a pity party?
Life is hard for all of us.
Women attempt suicide at a higher rate than men do.
I'm not watching a video, are you really not able to mention any issues here?
I'm sure you can explain how education, historically built by and for men, changed to no longer serve men?
Acknowledgment is the first step in dealing with something but these people are still stuck on that step because the acknowledgment isn't being followed by everyone falling over themselves to restore their lost privilege.

I hate it too but, unfortunately, shitty people can do useful things.
This is a men problem, not a Dem problem.
Young Liberal/Leftist/Progressive/Democratic men need to reach out to each other and form a community.
Additionally, therapy for men needs to be encouraged. They need help deconstructing living in a patriarchal society as well.
Those jokers are just taking advantage of, and exacerbating, the problem.
Because admonishing them, while I admit feels good, doesn’t help and can drive them further into the that weird man-o-sphere garbage.
Then, they go out and vote, and we get November 5th.
We can be failing both groups at the same time. Second we have to ask why models like Tate, Rogan, etc are so appealing and present some actual alternatives.
They aren’t blaming the wealthy gutting industry and outsourcing.
Cities are evolving to new industries. The cities that embrace new ways of living are thriving.
Young men need to break from the resentment of old men and embrace new ways to live and thrive.
Simple fact isn’t dems don’t see this, there’s a whole generation to lose.
I was told all my life all my problems are my responsibility and I had to do something about them.
Why can’t they chose to be as good as the women around them?
Why is it the responsibility of women to encourage young men to follow good men?
So tired of this narrative.
All of us weirdo art types, drama kids, musicians, etc. We’re the ones that learned empathy. The jocks and bros never change because their parents suck.
It's exactly what Hawley did with Missouri.

He is blaming this on people standing up against sexual abuse
It’s offensive af.
How is this not obvious?
When you tell a story about being raped and the response is “not all men rape” that is reflexively suggesting that you think all men rape. It’s inherently defensive instead of empathetic.
This post is defensive and is upholding that defensiveness.
That or you genuinely think it's terrible that for a brief period in the late 2010s a handful of rapists faced some small amount of accountability.
What? What the actual fuck?
As you said, WTAF?
“At the manager level,39% of employees are women, including 27% White women&13% women of color, while White men represent 41%.At the senior vice president level,28% are women,while 58% are White men.”

Also, they got richer and a taste for the spotlight.
Blumenthal is the absolute worse.

The discourse around men’s issues, particularly on the left, is counter to the positive development of young men and boys. But they are not in a position to police that discourse.

What would it take to have credulous reporting about the subjects being reported on?
Seems like it’s what happens when you have a patriarchal society that deems misogyny as not a problem, but as a solution to the problem.
So tired of this narrative.
Except these guys. They either always held awful opinions or they never shifted as people become more socially aware of inequalities.
Trumpism just green lit all his worse impulses as it did with so many of the nation's assholes
I didn't really understand him fully until I saw his weird ass post leftist behavior on twitter a while later
Maybe it's the men that are too emotional to be in charge of everything.
But generally speaking I agree. If you're incredibly emotional, in a toxic manner, I 1000% agree with you. For instance, the first person who comes to mind right now is Marco Rubio, obviously many other men too.
That's the message they're getting: women are emotional, they shouldn't be in charge of things (even their own bodies, education, careers).
To the latter full heartedly agree.
I said that because I'm trying to stay focused in the individual tweets.
My bad.
But there is certainly an issue with the emotions of young men yes. I'm hesitant to say this as how do we quantify an emotion correctly. But they're certainly harboring anger, which is usually just sadness.
....
Some men like to act like they're all logic and no emotions, but explosive anger doesn't count.
Working on that will be a huge help to men's mental health and loneliness.
Here's one: The shutdowns of schools were done under Trump's leadership.
That old grievance was not pinned on the right president. They voted for the president who DID shut down the schools.
And sorry they're offended by Me Too?!?
Rather if we understand this dynamic, we can confront the blatant lies this young men are being told. If we have understanding we can address concerns non reflexively, and then insert solutions and explain how patriarchy is bad for them to.
This is not the case for many boys, not saying most, but many. And if there is no parent willing to really instill the message of metoo, and feminism proper.....
And yes kids this young probably aren't like I was haha. But I'm saying they hear what people are talking about. And then they get to mid puberty and they start listening to Joe Rogan, tate, gaming channels( this one especially causes huge issues) etc.
Now that white men aren't the default for college placement and promotions, they're realizing how much work it is and they're throwing a tantrum over it.
Instead of working on themselves they want to push women back down.
