There was an entire generation of societal messaging that hitting on girls was morally unacceptable and made you a bad person. It did serious damage and I don't know if it can ever truly be repaired.

The red pill/manosphere movement is basically just a bunch of guys saying “you should hit on girls”.

And other horrifying facts ie "women like masculine men that handle their shit"

And look how society recoils when presented with that message.

Is it still that? It seems to be more fatalistically incellish these days, but I don't follow closely.

Almost like the "manosphere" is a massive group of various movements whose only relation is "pro-men" and have no unified belief otherwise.

Here is a really tricky one, the original "incel" that all examples are based on, Supreme Gentlemen Elliot Roger, was an active member of PUAhate.com. Because they all hate each other due to having completely different ideas of what will "save" men.

Does it even qualify as a movement anymore? With Trump's election prospects actually looking quite good, I'm not seeing much about reinstating his Title IX reforms that Biden immediately nixed.

How physically fit were those guys? Because it’s very likely that if you’re in shape and they aren’t, then yeah that’s likely. That’s literally the whole point of the “Rizz vs Sexual Harassment” meme

I've wondered what guys are so afraid of myself. Just talk to her. Why are you afraid of this tiny person? Who cares if she thinks you're a loser? Womens' opinions don't matter anyway.

The police aren't going to arrest you for talking to a woman (unless maybe you live in the UK).

No, but they will arrest you for a rape accusation.

You're a liar. I bet you never talked to a girl once.

There's a line from the (otherwise terrible) movie "School for Scoundrels." Billy Bob Thornton's character says, "You guys aren't losers. A loser is someone who shoots and misses. You guys never even take the shot."

On the other hand, what is the benefit to this?

Bruh I have walked through a bar slapping random girls asses and nothing bad ever happened.

A lot of older women, witches all, attacked young men (including their own sons) and tried to shame them for every little thing.
