    It’s a messaging program. Liberals want to provide mental health care and improve the minimum wage. That directly addresses what those young men need.

      Well… are they? Have they been? If not then there is still a need for it in progressive spaces

        A need for what though? I guess I just don’t know what the ask is here.

        A recognition that people are lonely? That it’s hard to provide for people? That message seems pretty alive in leftist spaces, no? Hating capitalism, building community, it’s kind of their thing.

        This is why I think it’s a messaging problem. I think the solution is there, and it’s just not packaged up for these people in a simple to understand way.

            Men aren’t stupid and don’t need to be babied. They’re quite capable of understanding that not everything is about them and they’re not always invited.

              You’re implying members of progressive groups are stupid and need to be babied?
