12.2% of women increased or started substance abuse, 14.4% for males.
Why would you expect a bigger difference here? Just asking.
8.9% of women seriously considered suicide vs 12.6% of males.
We know the stats of actual suicide and I'm willing to bet that a lot of the attempted female suicide in these stats would consider their attempt serious. So I'd take even these numbers with a grain of salt.
Hence a 14.4 increase in boys. It's par for the course, I suppose.
But as with everything else feminism, punching down on men doesn't mean that women feel better. We all know that women have never been less happy despite all the coddling and the reaffirmation and the privileges and whatever (obviously the solution to this unhappiness somehow is even more feminism, because fuck logic) The lockdown robbed a whole lot of them of their most important source of happiness, which is, of course, attention. This is why I am not surprised by the increase in female substance abuse.
Because of the lockdown, men and boys were forced to consume feminist propaganda "entertainment" as there was nothing else to do.
If they are into vidya there's still enough material that's not that infected. Also, the young don't consume the media we do. TikTok alone provided enough material to keep them from going full depression.
Personally, I don't buy that narrative. I believe they are happy but if they admitted it, they'd lose their ability to attack us. If they're already happy they don't need more.
I buy it. Going through live without ever having real agency is bound to make people unhappy. Of course this could just be male projection on my part.
