The down votes on your comment are a head scratcher. No matter what you as a parent (or even young men commenting in this thread) say, that perspective is shouted down as manosphere brainwash propaganda.
It’s almost like retrograde toxic masculinity. Vulnerable young dudes trying to explain why left messaging makes them uncomfortable are being told to man up/grow up/get over it.
anytime the left is criticized by a man, they just scream at you and insult you. they don’t value any input as to why men don’t listen to them anymore.
and if you ask the left what a man is to do… they tell you to fuck off and figure it out, or they just espouse traditional values of masculinity… but also saying how they are wrong and bad and ‘problematic’ those trad values are. the left has no positive agenda for men because it sees me as inherently bad until proven otherwise by their hypocritical values. they just want you to be a traditional man who gives your money to leftist causes, and attributes the struggles and suffering of minorities to systemic issues, but the struggles of men are never systematic. if a man is struggle it’s entire his own personal fault and what he should do is shut up and give his money to people who have it worse than he does.
it’s simple. the left offers young men nothing other than shame and harassment. so why would they want to deal with that? the right at least gives them a goal to strive for and actually acknowledges their problems aren’t their fault.
