Reply to comment by FullAhjosu12 in Finished a fantastic new book - Of Boys and Men: Why the Modern Male is Struggling, Why it Matters, and What to Do about It. by Dawens

This isn't about scarcity. To blame the slight rise in women's social and economic welfare for men, especially minority men, not having equity is just an insane take. That's what this book is trying to claim. This isn't about men v. women. This is about oppressive power structures largely created and propped up by white men being incrementally dismantled while many white men scramble to continue tear down any attempts at equity.

There’s no blame on women’s progress. Op literally says the author says this was a good thing. Pointing out the fact that women have made huge gains academically and in financial independence, while men have fallen downwards isn’t blaming women lol. As for as power structures, sure, rich white dudes have made it tough for everyone, including and especially black men, which the book covers a great deal and points out they have it worse than any other demographic. But of course this entire sub wants to ignore that and cry about sexism when this book is anti sexism. Fucking unbelievable.

Unbelievable? With the amount of MRA bullshit out there and one fan boy's description of a book. Nah. It's totally believable.
