I’m asking people opinions and responses to this.
I saw a video talking about how so much violence is happening, they particularly mentioned the murder of O’Shea Sibley. They talked about the manosphere, men’s rights advocates, incels and Ben Shapiro and said that all these cause misogyny and being caught up in the patriarchy and homophobia or the other way round (caused by those things) which is basically why we we have this violence.
My thoughts: we live in a world where there are so many new social movements, new ideas and political advancements that many people, especially men, don’t pick up on them. This leads to alienation which in turn leads to anger, frustration and maybe violence. Men are frustrated by their position in society and how they’re treated by others. Women don’t seem to care about men, other men care more about women and protecting them. Even people like Ben Shapiro are misandrist in my opinion.
Incels mostly aren’t actually misogynistic. Most of their hate isn’t actually motivated by real hate, it’s motivated by frustration of their position and how they’re treated and seen by others.
I also believe that true men’s rights advocates would care a lot about homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc because those issues are inherently linked to misandry. Men’s rights advocates also shouldn’t support people like Ben Shapiro or other conservatives. People who do support him are conservatives who value women more than men… they think we need to protected the poor precious women from the trans women, the black men, etc. And believe men need to conform to certain male gender roles which causes homophobia to gay men.
Young men aren’t just choosing to go to the right because that’s what they actually believe (if it is then those beliefs I just mentioned are motivated by misandry and other things). They are being pushed from the left, excluded, mocked and alienated and the right gives them some sense of community even if they don’t actually care about them and they end up being radicalised by what is mostly misandrist ideas.
It’s annoying that issues such as homophobia towards men gets blamed on misogyny when it’s the opposite.
