Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

MODERATORS
This growing forced birth movement among young men is so fucking terrifying. I mean it's an entire generation of men who believe women should be chattel.
The algorithms are all pointing them towards manosphere content that says shit like “your body, my choice”. Everything is a joke or entertainment now so you can have insane political beliefs “for the lols” that end up becoming their real opinions, and if you try to challenge them “you’re taking it too seriously/it’s just a joke/it’s not that deep”
incelism is a growing threat for the last 10 years, made worst by people peterson, rogan, shapiro and many grifters.
My (ex) best friend from childhood is now 39, single, has a kid, and is an incel who blames all his problems on women. And I mean literally: he can't keep a job because of women. He even lost his truck driver gig because of women! Not that he ever explained it, just complained that everything was caused by women.
We don't talk anymore.
Omg the number of guys like this who claim to have been set back or hurt somehow by positive discrimination (which they call “forced diversity”), but can’t conjure up a single concrete example when challenged and just segue into the next rant…
