Looks like we're back to smacking rude people upside the head too, then!

Gen-X here. IMHO, Boomers have been the worst generation, in terms of values and impact, this country has ever seen. Gen-X is a mixed bag. Millenials are the best of all the gens currently alive, and they got fucked the hardest. Gen-Z is cynical as fuck, and I cannot blame them.

I disagree with your assessment of the future though. The only thing manosphere Gen-Z is accomplishing is their own marginalization. Men are outnumbered. Straight men, even more so. My faith lies with young women, minorities, LGBTQ+, and all those working hard for the survival of those they care about.

23k people in 29 countries.

Per country, that's not even as many people as in the small town where my parents lived in the middle of nowhere, and in total, that's not even a fifth of the population of the city I now live in, which isn't that big either.

With the same proportion, I'm sure one could say 30% of gen z is far-right.

It merely went into dormancy while it metastasized. Society hates women, and always has

Oh you'd be surprised how many women suffer from internalized misogyny, I think it's fair to say society as a whole hates women.

See: US politics, and women who vote against their own interests

what if one day we just make a decision, to not hate eachother like this, and instead focus on solutions to improve things for everyone.

apparently there is still a non-insignificant amount of silent generation in congress right now, they are also to blame.

Article does not link the study. Article also does not indicate what % of women have the same views.

I didnt say focus on hippies, I said focus on solutions. We've identified a problem, we must implement solutions.

use logic in place of emotion
