A reaction from /r/AskWomen to this article is a clear demonstration of complete lack of any empathy for men in need. The article describes a worrying trend of young men "giving up" on women due to demonization of their own sex drives, and a a lack of clear understanding of "the rules" of dating. The men who are affected are young, poorer than average, and looked down upon by society.
What is /r/AskWomen's reaction to these stygmitized men? No empathy. Instead, insults and marginalisation of the men's problems. See the thread for yourself here, hear are some choice quotes:
Current top voted comment:
If a man decides that feminism has made him substitute drugs, alcohol, and video games for romantic partnership, I fail to see why that's a noteworthy loss.
Another highly rated comment:
Most of them are misogynists and gross anyway, so they should stop talking about it and just go. They're like the unwanted person at the gathering who keeps announcing they're leaving hoping for someone to stop them.
Others:
Cool. Less bitter men trying to talk to me. I don't give a fuck. I don't need people like that in my life. I'm guessing those men are socially maladjusted and just not ideal dating partners anyway.
As a dude it sounds like the bottom of the barrel picks are being taken out of circulation. Sounds better for women in general.
If you have ever needed a stronger reason MensRights exists, it is this. No one else seems to care about issues affecting men, they're much happier insulting them.
