Story summary
A recent trend is causing concern, particularly among highly online, right-leaning men. According to the authors, a shift in how these individuals think and speak about women is on the rise. This change is part of a broader issue where both men and women are showing less interest in love and family than previous generations, with dating becoming increasingly difficult. The lack of romance has led to some concerning behaviors emerging among this demographic.
