"Stop giving kids tax money, that's for tech companies!"

No one will believe that you care about babies when this is your response to hungry children.
The problem with the pro-life movement is that it's loudest proponents are not credible.

People Magazine had “Sexiest Woman Alive” once, Kate Upton in 2014, and it never returned because of public criticism regarding how mainstream media judges women primarily on their physical appearance and objectification… But it’s totally fine to rank and objectify men, apparently.
It’s like everything negative people accuse society of doing towards women we’re actually doing towards men.

A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

Girls when schools don't cater to them for 1 month in middle school.

I'm going to harp on the "would-be incels" thing some more and point out:
Nice, respectable liberal women will talk about little boys the way the most despised lunatic fringe fascist men talk about little girls, and this is treated as normal.
Better be education for the kids, not just raises for union workers, @TinaKotek.

It is genuinely insane for adults to talk about like, 6th grade boys this way. I see this language directed at BABIES - women calling infant boys future monsters. It's obviously deranged, but beyond that, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Half of all kids are boys. If they spend their whole lives being told their sex is inherently evil - and kids pick up on this stuff! - that's gonna produce something so much worse than Andrew Tate. Most differences are shallow (race, language, sexuality), but you cannot banish the difference between MEN and WOMEN. Education needs to foster empathy for both and understand that boys and girls do have different needs.

If you are calling 10-year-old boys “would-be incels” your brain is poisoned.

so basically women read everything and men hate fun, then wonder why women have richer imaginations, broader interests and better taste in literally everything.
Books men like to read vs. Books women like to read:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This chart does not show general reading preferences. It measures the gender breakdown of reviewers on Goodreads — a platform whose user base is ~76% female, which heavily skews the chart towards women across nearly all genres.

Yeah, I thought everyone knew Hatchet was only assigned because boys are bad readers when they’re not interested in the subject matter

Young boys are being discouraged from getting into reading—and it’s because more books are missing one key element, @sophiah_n reports: theatlantic.com/culture/2026…
Andrew Koster retweeted
Women calling little boys "would-be incels" should be met with the same contempt and disgust as men calling little girls "future whores" or other sexualized insults. WILDLY inappropriate way to speak of children.
At some point we need to ask why DEI is so important in everything except for educating our children.
Andrew Koster retweeted
Hearing the contempt adult women have for 3rd-grade boys simply because they enjoyed an award-winning children's book really makes you wonder what the male youth of this era are actually going through in school and how their futures are being altered because of that treatment.
