Re:Why are fewer men in their 20s having sex? on Tuesday March 23, 2021 @06:56PM (#26561414)
Yea there's a prevailing notion being pushed nowadays that women are the exact same as men but magically better.

Add in the moral panic surrounding consent and sex, and you get a chilling effect on courtship and socializing.

What incentive do men have to interact with women, when the social climate makes it a tight-rope walk where even the slightest false impression of impropriety will forever destroy your reputation?

Especially when you can get off to porn? Sorry, it's obvious why things are the way they are and only politically invested types would care to argue otherwise.

lol getting downvoted for expressing misery - no complaining, citizen!

It's basically a blaring bourgeouis flag if the past year has been pleasant for you.

The less well-off and young are suffering greatly.

Never mind physical health, we've got a world where mental health has gone in the gutter.

This is par for the course in trans circles in my experience (as someone who's queer).

There's a tendency in a least some segment of the community to be extremely bigoted, casting anyone that says something that doesn't conform to their ideology as "harmful" without ever carrying the burden of producing evidence or explanation (of course even broaching this is met with "it's not my job to explain why what you said is wrong" or "I'm so tired", etc.).

It's weirdly religious in terms of dynamics of the community.
