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.

    My issue with the "be yourself" line is that it is too general to be of any use. I'm not denying that being true to your values and not trying to be some fake cardboard cutout of a Real Man™ is solid advice but in order for it to be useful or has to help you do it. An insecure 16 year old who thinks girls are very interesting but also kind of scary can't use "be yourself" for anything.

    If there's something the right wing grifters do right it is that they make these young men feel good about themselves. They do it in stupid and disgusting ways but you really can help people by making them feel confident. Leftist dating advice should tell people that they actually have what it takes and that they are deserving of love, no matter how short or tall, fat or skinny or introvert or extrovert they are and that rejection doesn't change that. Leftist dating advice should also hold up mutual respect as not only moral but also cool and sexy.

      Men don't "deserve" anything from women. This is incel talk right here.

        you can't read a common phrase like "feeling deserving of love" and jump to that reaction and expect to be taken seriously
