Also, literally who cares. This isn't politics. Zoomers and millenials are very left-wing and that hasn't changer significantly in recent years. This isn't happening at scales that are shifting the political landscape. Idk why there is an obsession with this shit.

    I doubt people who say the left is mistreating men could point to any specific thing. Or any evidence that men are leaving the left. It's just a general vibe made entirely by online echochambers.

      Men aren't leaving the left over this, but men who are unhappy with their material conditions, who might otherwise get pipelined left, are getting pipelined right by this shit instead. It's not a loss, but a lost opportunity.

      And you're right that the left isn't mistreating these guys, we're just giving them nothing. If a guy starts googling around about how to find a girlfriend, he gets either bland platitudes or a fast track to the alt right. There is no purpose-built "how to talk to women" equivalent on the left.

        The problem is that social media algorithms will only boost the simplistic and hateful right wing content and won’t boost good l ft wing self help stuff.

      It is mostly an internet thing. Are there feminists who hate men, and think them to be nothing but rapacious orcs and demons, incapable of human emotions? Yes. Is this what feminism is? No. Do both the aforementioned feminists and fascists portray them as the face of leftist ideology? Yes. Just talk to actual people who have actual political opinions and not brain worms.
