This is just another reason why socialising online is distinctly inferior to socialising in real life.
Third spaces are disappearing, and being replaced by nothing tangible.
I don’t know why – I read about terrible events all the time – but this murder of two sisters and their mother really got to me today. And the fact that the father still talks to them to keep them close… The damage some men do in this world is beyond description. The wreckage they leave behind. I don’t have any answers, but I know the solution isn’t pretending it’s not a problem or not talking about it.
It’s more fuelled by decades of magazines, tv, film and music.

I have yet to meet a person like this in real life.
The whole ‘hate men’ is seemingly much bigger on social media these days.
Misandry just isn’t seen as being wrong though?
Both need combated, not just one.

I think social media encourages all kinds of group hatred or bigotry. Because you can constantly be presented with the worst actors in any group, it’s easy to think “Gosh they must all be like that”. Particularly if you are always online, or have very few meaningful real life friendships, there is no counterbalance to the ways in which groups online are reduced to their worst components and condemned on that basis.
Combine that with the fact that social media weaponizes negative emotion for profits, and is adept at skewing your algorithm to get you mad at somebody, and you can see the disaster heading our way.
The BBC today had a homophobic, transphobic propagandist on TV today, a woman enages regularly in misogyny but that’s okay
This guy is obviously a complete sociopath and is rightly being removed from society. I don’t like the attempts to use it to make political points though, honestly. Do you think he would have been a nice, well adjusted young man if he’d been in this situation in 1990?
This kind of thing always happened, if the violent crime stats are to believed it happens *less* these days than it used to.
The funny thing here is it’s a misandrist comment talking about misogyny
Social media is just toxic, it’s an easy way for nasty people to say things they wouldn’t get away with in real life
That beign said there is a lot of horrible comments towards women online but that is because the people making them find them an easy target, if it wasn’t women they would find another easy target and even if it is worse for women that doesn’t mean men have it easy, to victimise one side a gender in this case whilst ignoring the other just means less support.
Classic whataboutism from men on r/unitedkingdom even after multiple murders explicitly linked to Andrew Tate
well its big business, miserable men make me money. Just look at the hours of youtube/tiktok dross about woke, immigrants and even stuff like EVs. You can make a lot of money selling people their misery if you dont mind selling your soul in the process (or never had one)
It is and it’s getting worse, it’s also not limited to the public but also in the medical sphere. It’s alarming the number of young men who just flat out hate women, they tend to also flat out hate immigrants, POC and LGBT+ people too.
