"It's important to remember that it's not zero-sum. We can care about the well-being of women and girls and also acknowledge that young men are struggling, too. Those don't have to be at odds."

Yes, I hate the way that people in media thought they could empower women by creating absolutely moronic and attractive male characters that they could sexually harass. Like, what!? That's not the way! I think people in general need more support because we've sort of nullified the way support networks used to exist.

I think you need to be on a subdued position by society to be considered as "struggling". Incels accept their condition completely and are not in a vulnerable position when related to society. Unless you call being called out for "mental health" problems as submission.

Being weak doesn't mean you're subdued, I bet incel's existence is profitable to someone. All in all, I don't wish you a time trying to "care" for these people, I don't think they would care for you. Unless you call "care" throwing them into some mental institution for something's sake.
