[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1223183, member: 86934"] It isn't the lack of appreciation at all, it's the lack of empathy or forward thinking about how a generation of boys are vilified, and the negative consequences that will heap on society. Right wing ideals are sweeping the western world, and the more young boys are rejected by everything in their life the more they will turn to those with bad intentions holding out their arms of support. Have you been to any of these manosphere places, they are incredibly intoxicating.
