I’m sure there is a way to lift women up without punching down on and ignoring men. I’m hopeful that we find a way to strike that balance, ultimately.
Not under this administration and probably most of the manosphere is not really helping, mind you. But then, neither are the people that think misandry is a valid response to misogyny…
Telling people that are in abject misery about all the “privilege” they supposedly have is not going to make a winning coalition, either. I’ve seen women gloating and sneering about things like the male loneliness epidemic or the fact that men are unemployed. It’s not a good look, but they seem to have zero self awareness.
I don’t know anyone who is gloating about these unemployment numbers. It’s clearly a crisis for young men in the workforce and it’s a bad indication for everyone. There’s no positives there for anyone.
I’m glad you don’t know anyone doing this. To be fair, I’ve not heard much of it IRL. It has come from people I think seem to harbor a lot of dislike for humanity in general, and men in particular, but claim to be on the left and claim to be feminists. These are also people I try as hard as possible to limit my time with.
The problem seems to be mostly online - there are definitely spaces I’ve seen where that behavior seems to be not only normalized but encouraged. I’m pretty sure it’s mostly very vocal people that are just a minority, I hope.
Also, when reflecting on the actual numbers mentioned in the article, and of course not considering the context about the spread of the types of jobs and assumptions about what percentage of males and females want to work, those seem to be about the ratio you’d expect in employment, given that the population of women is higher than men…
I’m pissed about the complete abandonment of young men in education, but sure it all about women and jobs.

I’m glad you confirmed it is fringe extremists you’ve seen saying this and not women at large.
