Lmao all we need to do is deny men any meaningful relationships, that'll deradicalize them for sure

I would love to hear other opinions. If you think that ostracizing the specific demographic that you needed for this election is a good idea, please let me know. Personally, I think it's incredibly stupid. If the only women that a guy is able to get the time of day from are conservatives, I think that's gonna make guys more open to conservatism.

Because people refuse to read the article, it says

The idea behind the movement is individual resistance against what it defines as a conservative political environment and the corrosion of reproductive rights.

This is explicitly a movement attempting to affect political change, at least according to the article that we're discussing. I understand and support swearing off relationships for the sake of protecting yourself, but that is not the argument that the article is making.

The thing people who didn't read the article are missing: This doesn't apply to all men, just shitty men. Which yeah, if you're a dude who wants to get laid don't be shitty.

Far too many people are lumping in all men in discussions around the election.

It was obviously their fault, to be fair. /s
