This comment is clearly about a single experience because it does not come close to summing up the whole at all. History tells it that men in the majority were not so loving and all-sacrificing.

I’m from the old school where I watched the women in my life being abused and abandoned for other women. My grandfather left my grandmother with 10 kids and started a new family with a 16 year old just a few blocks away — and some of those kids were the same age as the ones he already had. And this was after years of abusing her, including throwing her down a flight of stairs while she was pregnant with my mother, who was born developmentally delayed as a result.

Social media is highly influential, no doubt. But some of that influence is a good thing. Women deciding they don’t want to be treated like objects and property anymore is a good thing. Women choosing themselves is a good thing. Men being held accountable is a good thing. Yes, there are improvements to be made across the board.

And even that does not sum up the whole of today’s experience. But this story about women of today being all bad and men being victims?

Nope.

Individuals behave poorly. Many do not. Sometimes individuals who do behave poorly hide behind the power of numbers in groups in order to do so without recourse or with less threat of recourse. For a time, at least. But it is ultimately the individual who chooses how to behave and it is the individual who is responsible for the consequences of that behavior. Whether or not a culture pushes or supports a behavior or not, the choice always comes down to the individual. Many individuals may decide together to behave in the same way. And that is their prerogative. Many other individuals may choose to abide by a different set of agreed upon behaviors. This is their prerogative as well. When enough people choose against initiating harm against others, we will live in an objectively more rational society. But it is a choice. Even when such things are "mandated by law," it is the individual's choice whether to adhere to that or not. And without consent, there is no social contract. There is only the fear of consequences for behaviors that individuals have not consented to have regulated by outside force. The individual still chooses how to behave.

Any chance you're putting all these tunes on a daily Playlist that could be listened to without the scroll and click? Thanks for all you do.

Those that would do anything to have you is called love. Well we have a bit of a problem with that as in today's world women are not the same as 50 years ago or anything like some women in other countries! Today's female is very toxic and men must be very careful not to let hormones override their intelligence. Women today are ending marriages do to what they read on social media and not living in reality! Men can give them the world and do everything to please them and its never enough. Ask a woman why she wants a divorce? She will say she has a great man but isnt happy anymore! Women will sacrifice their families for happiness and men will sacrifice their happiness for their families! Social media has allowed these women for easy come easy go with men! Men are best to stay single and no children until this world becomes a better place and change is made if ever! We really need a reset and a start over as at some point I seeing humanity slowly becoming extinct and souls no longer reincarnating back on this planet as things have went way to far and over the line! Some may not like to hear that but this planet is no longer fit to incarnate into either things get fix.and things change or souls stop coming here and the only life developing will be NPCs or souless humans trying to sustain life which will slowly fail and come to an end!

As I've said before, misogyny and misandry are signs of immaturity and emotional stunting.
