Just a reminder that the extreme right is using toxic masculinity as a way to recruit young men.
While we can easily blame men for being toxic, I don't think it will fix much. We need to create a narrative that speaks to men that feel lost. One that's different than all the toxic shit that's so effective on these guys right now.
There's legions of young men feeling left behind by society, and we need to make sure they don't feel that way before things get ugly.
@ainmosni As long as you're viewing it as only a way to recruit men for a political ideology and not actually trying to solve the problems they have you're never going to be successful. Doing it for purposes of recruitment puts your goals in the wrong place.
Speak to men because you want to provide solutions, not recruit them for a cause.

In short they hate us for good reason and they will never stop hating us.
