As a millennial male who did not vote for Trump, supports the rights of people, and generally is a good person to those around me - men are generally terrible. I kinda think that, if you can’t recognize this truth, you aren’t as good a person as you think.
As a Gen X male (I prefer the term Oregon Trail Generation for those of us close to the cutoff) I echo your statements.
But on top of that, I think there’s obvious context here that we’re talking about the dummies, not 100% of males of the generation.
The comment that started this subthread was like a funny sarcastic comment I could hear in real life. Something like “I read about how male gen z trump voters feel duped by him” followed by “well it sounds like male gen z trump voters have bad judgment, lol!”
I don’t know if that kind of retort is a regional thing or is uh, how do I say this, one of those things that you learn when you are raised by angry conservatives whose primary form of communication is complaining about other people.
I reject the notion that men are “generally” terrible because generalizations are lazy intellectually bankrupt ways of othering swaths of people in a way that revokes any ability to fix the real problems.
Men aren’t terrible inherently, it’s the overblown importance paid to stoicism, acceptance of low emotional maturity, ALIENATION LIKE YOU’RE DOING RIGHT NOW, and poor societal/cultural frameworks for men to seek the help they need that make a lot of men terrible. Men aren’t terrible, but the cultural understanding about what men are and do needs to change.
Fascists are terrible because they choose every day to be fascists. Men are capable of being terrible the same as women - blame people for what they can change and do not, not what they can’t change.
