Men are feeling unsatisfied or lonely and they see this kind of new hyper masculinity as a possible answer. And I think that's on some level it's more appealing because it's easier than you know introspection and you know self-reflection.
I find the incel movement is men just giving up and leaning into really unfortunate biases against women and these myths that women's success has been inversely correlated to their decline and that it's women's fault. And I find it's basically men just giving up and trying to find an excuse for putting in the work that every man has had to put in to try and find a mate.
Young men are falling behind because they aren't low on testosterone. They're falling behind because they're low on purpose, education, work, and relationships.
If progressives don't enforce the border, fascists will. And if Democrats can't come up with some sort of symbolism or role models that demonstrate strength and service as masculinity, then the Republicans sort of fill that hole with violence and misogyny, which is exactly what they're doing.
